The human mind is a blessing
Mine is a curse
Some see the world as a play toy
Some give up and leave the race
I see the world as a ball of hurt and pain
Fear anger anxiety
I bear them all
The starving girl, clinging to her like a demon
The girl at the bus stop, head in hands
Because her one has become her none
My mind is a curse my back is carrying the weight
of a million sorrows pains and fears
There is one who was set before me
and carries this burden i carry
But my mind is a curse
the heart is a blessing.

Before I sound completely pretentious....who were you alluding to in the last bit of your poem..."there is one who was set before me and carries this burden I carry?" Sometimes your stuff sounds almost religious. But maybe I'm reading into it. And this was really good!!

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.

Wow this is really good Mike. I really like your beginning stanzas. I feel your heart and pain. Great emotions. Suggestion: maybe next time end with a hook
