    Than again I may already know.
    -- I think you meant "then again". :]

    I really loved this one, Nik. It's like you were just existing at first. Just living day to day, and now you're alive and everything around you is alive. Your eyes have been opened and and you're seeing things in a different light. It's really inspiring to me for some reason. I guess maybe I need to open my eyes and really look at the world around me. Thanks. :]

    to see what lies beneath the grass
    -- I don't know why I like this line so much. I guess I think there's a hidden meaning in it or something. I just can't figure it out. Oh well. lol :]

    Beautiful poem.

    Outstanding piece dear Nik..This would be another fave piece from you aside from that " why I sing". I could see the improvement in your writing..This one says a lot about pain and sadness...Sometimes a poem is more meaningful and interesting when it is written not with exactly the same cliche words we are hearing everyday. Good Job girly...I'm looking forward to read more of this style.

    'as I live my life behind'
    ^I think you meant to say 'lived'

    'I wanted to walk today
    to see what lies beneath the grass'
    ^This was really interesting..kind of a mystery.

    'I can see their importance.
    Stars are not just yellow lights
    and raindrops are not just
    sky fallen tears...

    Everything matters now
    Everything will always matter.'
    ^Very nicely done. Powerful lines especially the last two here. They convey a powerful message.

    This poem was really interesting. It sounds like you are rather confident and optimistic about the future and what is to come.

    Well done.

    This piece is interesting and seems just like your thoughts tossed on paper. At times seems random and complicated and messy, but perfect in a way because thats how thoughts are. I loved the poem for the most part and wouldn't change much, but there was a part near the end of the first stanza.

    "

    "let moments pass me by
    as I live my life behind
    closed eyelids.
    Never again...
    My eyes are open
    and I can see clearly".

    Your poem doesn't rhyme almost at all and theres nothing wrong with that, but I think when you can chance a couple words around to give it more flow its always a good idea. So I would maybe say...

    let moments pass me by
    as I live my life behind
    these blind eyes
    never again
    my eyelids are open
    and I can see clearly now.

    Don't even have to change it really just a segestion haha great job though 5/5 GG23

    For so long I have
    let moments pass me by
    as I live my life behind
    closed eyelids.

    ^^ that is so true... we truly live with our eyelids closed...

    I wanted to walk today
    to see what lies beneath the grass
    to wonder what hides
    behind those bushy white clouds.
    I may never find out
    then again I may already know.

    ^^ i just loved these lines... it only makes me feel what i have been missing all these days... too busy to even look around me...

    My only purpose was to walk.
    I wonder where the wind will take me...

    ^^ the wind may take you anywhere... just loved it :D

    quite an inspiring write is
    beautifully penned...

    I agree with Cayce. It was a very great write, and makes one realize that they should actually open their eyes to see the world around them. Did that make sense? I hope it did. xD

    Wow, You're in the place that I'm striving to get to. Where you can see everything clearly and everything has meaning. This poem has a deep meaning. I especially liked the way you ended
    "My only purpose was to walk.
    I wonder where the wind will take me..." Great job!
