Piercing words.
Piercing images.
How would it feel to be asked if you belonged?
Too many factors to count,
Too many complicated solutions,
Can it be called land of the free?

If I am asked if I belong.

*life isnt about pretending to be something you&#039;re not. It about being who you are and finding someone <br /> who loves every bit of it.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Life&#039;s tradegy is that we get old too soon and wise too late&quot;

wow. great message, however, i think you could have elaborated. But then again, some poems are best when they are short ;)
