firstly I found this an engaging read, you unfurled your problem while demonstrating an ability for grasping a more rounded perception of your point of view, that\'s a really unique gift in-of-itself, I think..
my two cents worth of response, is to simply state that in most situations we are attracted to aspects and elements within other\'s that: we ourselves covet
ergo, in situations where we look for \'older\' people\'s validation (admittedly a somewhat barren distillation of attraction), we are usually looking for the answers they seem to have cultivated (wisdom, gravitas, a sense of self-worth or independence etc)..
so maybe, if we utilise our attraction to narrow down on what aspects we want to cultivate within ourselves, we need not find it so toxic..
just a thought, (forgive me if you think I\'m being rude or patronising, I mean no disrespect)

Good words Merissa, we can get attracted to all types of people but a true friend can be any age or any sex as they will always treat you with respect.

Very well written, Merissa. The heart is a strange thing and honestly, we don\'t have much control over it. It becomes a problem when the heart says one thing and the mind says something else. C\'est la vie! No matter how hard it is sometimes, we have to learn to accept these \'problems\', try to grow and move on. One day you will find the person where the heart and the mind are united.

What a beautiful poem. You are lucky to have mom like that. But I guess you deserve it!

Depends what we are talking about here. There’s nothing wrong with variety in one’s friends and acquaintances – in fact it’s good. However deep and meaningful relationships between people with wide age disparity (particularly older male – younger female) are problematic as the power element for you as a very young woman is not in your favour. It’s for you through a mix of work on yourself and time to resolve this.
Thanks though for presenting your conundrum in an attractive piece of poetry.

My Apologies
L. B. Mek said:
to feel sorry for ourselves is a virtue! without it - we would know little of empathy for other\'s,
to apologise is a demonstration of humility and this often leads to acceptance in the fact that we know very little of what truly matters! this discovery of our limitations is the first shard of light peeking-out from beyond the doors to wisdom\'s halls: we have just opened,
one step at a time, forward - ever forward we venture carrying our mistakes and accomplishments - equally, till that final bell rings true and we: can rest too

Jazz Age Vocab Poem:
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
Thanks for sharing a UNIQUE Poem MERISSA. I regret that so far you have eight visits and only ONE COMMENT ~ MINE ! I was born in 1983 & Angela in 1988 so neither of us lived in the 20\'s. However we do like Jazz & the Jazz Age and have visited New Orleans ! I (BRIAN) recognised all the JAZZ WORDS and eight of them (40%) are still in common use in the UK. Goofy - belly laugh - gold digger - big cheese - gate crasher - bees knees & swanky. Their meaning is unchanged !
In reply to your request. I consider it a good task (on historical vocabulary) and you produced an excellent Poem (An \"A\" grade ?) with 20 important Jazz Age words !
Yours through POETRY ~ BRIAN & ANGELA

It was supposed to look like a staircase and it does on docs, but for some reason this website pushed my lines back, and now it\'s all jumbled. Not a big deal, but I apologize for the funkiness of the lines.

\"The Wall\"
Merissa said:
It took me 2 hours to write the poem. It just flowed from my mind. A few times I had to look up rhyming words but most I came up with myself. I thought 2 hours wasn\'t that long. Lol. Lots of people take days to write a poem. Granted, not in the literal sense but still. I meant I wrote the whole thing all at once, which took 2 hours to do. Lol. Hopefully that makes things clearer. Not sure. Anyways, thanks for reading. :-)

A fine write M. You took another 2 hours to type it all up?!
Did the time involve mainly thoughts, or mainly getting it to rhyme, or bit of both?
I usually use AABB etc., i.e. Lines 1 and 2 rhyme; lines 3 and 4 rhyme; etc. You have use ABCB form here.
I thought I was \'epic\'. They said \'Nope, just waffling!\' lol.

Merissa said:
Lol. Thanks. I appreciate your comment. Fair warning. A good amount of my poems are long. I just write a lot I guess. They never feel finished. Also, I try to make it sound not quite so depressing I guess. I like to make it more mature thinking than just the emotion. I also like to try and put some kind of hope throughout. Sometimes it just doesn\'t work that way though. Again, thanks for your comment. I\'m glad you liked it.

Hi Merissa, felt painfully close to home at times. Don\'t normally like poems with rhymes but though this worked pretty well.
You were right about the length though. Had to push myself to finish but was glad i did. I find that even if I\'ve got something I really love, editing always hones it. Sometimes leaving it a day ot two before rereading can help you see things you missed in the initial excitement. If it end up being an \"epic\" well, thats what the genre is all about. Funnily enough i think the way you\'ve written gives it a little lightness to a heavy topic. I haven\'t read any of your previous work but I will as I like your writing style. Not normally my cup of tea but there is definitely something I like. Sorry for the \"epic\" response.
