I’m not a floating speck but I am
quite a spectacle and I swim through words like a sea of seasons
and I don’t mind an afternoon of drowning.
I’m not a shooting star but I’m no stationary sun
and its not my place to question your routine
or anyone who’s slowly falling down
sinking to the ground and thinking about the rain.
And its all a part of growing tall, the things we can’t explain.
I’m speaking through the microphone of everything I’ve ever known
and I want to be your Rolling Stone, don’t want to be your dreamstone memory.
Don’t want my place on the silver screen, just want my place in your routine.
Don’t want my face in a magazine, just want my face in a picture on your wall,
but every time I call you’re thinking bout the rain.
And its all a part of growing tall, the things we can’t explain.
Falling down, I’m sinking to the ground, thinking bout the rain.
And it’s all a part of growing tall, the things we can’t explain.

Great abstracted write! Lots of deep sentiments and emotions here. I especially loved the lines:
'Don’t want my place on the silver screen, just want my place in your routine.
Don’t want my face in a magazine, just want my face in a picture on your wall,'
They sum up what really matters in this world. The other things are nice, but what good would they be if we had no one to turn to in our hour of need?
Super.

I really loved this, your word choices are... always perfect and fitting and clever. I really like the line you repeat and how you alter it at the end. This is my favorite stanza: "I'm not a shotting star but I'm no stationary sun and its not my place to question your routine or anyone who's slowly falling down sinking to the ground and thinking about the rain." I love it. Great writing, wow

Well, I think this would make an excellent song lyric, no question about that! I think what in may or may not have as poetry, would improved 1,000 times with the right musical background.... bravo

It was great! I loved line 8 and how you repeated it at 14 and 16, it was kinda catchy This poem really speaks for itselfs, and I really can't come up with something to criticize..I also loved line 4! 'I'm not a shooting star but I'm not a stationary sun' It makes you think..If I write more now, I'm only gonna end up rambling..Anyways, good job with this =)
