    the original stanza i had was

    Or are you just thinking
    With everything around you gone wrong
    That the problem is not you
    But what you have against the world

    but know i'm thinking that i should put it as

    Or are you just thinking
    With everything around you gone wrong
    That the problem is not you
    But the feeling that you dont belong

    which sounds better or makes more sense?

    The first one is bad, and the second one is worse than the first.

    What are you talking about anyway?

    "That the problem is not the you"

    The you?!?! What does that mean? It's so stupid! Learn english you moron!

    That stanza makes much more sense when read with the rest of the poem:

    I think "not the you" is supposed to be "not with you" (It should be anyway)

    I like the second ending better, "But the feeling that you dont belong"

    I should know better than to curse in the Writting Poetry category.

    The "profanity terminator" marches the posts!

    I would say the scariest of all the elves is the "PT"

    LMAO Ann! I did feel quite bad about my post. I think I may have taken out some anger on the poor fellow. But then again, what are morons (who post in the wrong category) for?

    Well excuse me but i just was asking for help you know. You are welcome to say that my poem sucks but could you at least tell me why instead of venting out on me? Thank you. I have the whole poem written out on my poem list, so for more clarification on what i was talking about. Look it up.
