Hey ya'll! I am a single girl from South Carolina. I love english and literature and poetry among many other things. I am currently an english education major. I love to hang out wiht my friends and I love to meet new people. Don't hesitate to drop me a line if you want. If there is anything else you would like to know just ask. I can't wait to hear what ya'll think about my poetry and stuff. Thanks for dropping in!
(oh yeah, here is my favorite poem. I haven't been able to find out who it is by though.)
THE MAN IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your wife or family or friend
Who judgement upon you must pass;
The man whose verdict counts most in the end
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you a straight-shootin' chum
and call you a person of place
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the face.
He's the man to please, never mind all the rest
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

I still remember the day that we met;
So many memories I'll never forget. -
silence fills the halls
