All I ever wanted
out of life
was to be just like you.
So tall,
so green,
so beautiful.
Couldn't you just understand my
wants
my needs
this one time.

Some of the most simple poems convey so much in so few words. This poem is one of those.

A lot of feeling in just a few words.

I think you did a great job with this picture!!! You managed to say so much in such an emotional way with just a few words and I really like it. Good luck in the contest dead, Cathy

Oh this is just so full of emotion and captures the picture beautifully, literally and metaphorically
Thanks so much for your entry.

This is great and it's so sad that some of the people that we look up to in our lives make it very difficult for us to grow. There are so many obstacles and boundaries that we have to dodge and fight just to become who we want to be. Life has its ways of throwing so many curve balls and unexpected corcumstances our way that we often lose hope. Great thought for this contest and good luck to you with it here!
