"And no, I'm not important,So it won't matter when I fall."

I usually like the closing lines but these are particularly awesome. I offer my praise of your unusual ideas and wonderful wording.

*Walks briskly onto empty, dust covered stage. Reaching the center, a spotlight appears. Unraveling a ornate, long, scroll, I clear my throat and begin to read.* This is the statement of Shiba-.-Sempai, which, being made while of sound mind (don't say a word) and body, rings true in every syllable. You, are loved and cherished by your friends and deemed VERY important. You may be walking on high heels, but we of the clunky combat boots and comfy flipflops will always be there to catch and steady you when you happen to stumble. This is not a burden, nor a bother, but something we will always be willing to do because we CARE ABOUT YOU. This message, saccharine as it sounds, will be repeated until it becomes inculcated into your head. The end. Now, onto the review! Severe squees at the awesomeness were definitly being uttered while reading. "Full of nothings that I've said." This was almost an exact definition of the nagging worry I feel at the end of the day when I realize how completely asinine some of my nattering was. Half of my stories never have a point, and this statement sums up about half of the ramblings I impose on unfortunate others. I loved how the lines before seemed to lead up to that one line, making it appear even more powerful. "Life in my shoes, Yeah, they're glittery and fake." I found these lines to be so fascinating, both because of the vivid imagery and what I deemed a subtle reference to the "Walk in someone else's shoes" (even if that wasn't intentional.) I also was thrilled by the fact that you made the 'f' and 'e' bold, merely because it seemed, somehow, to add a desperate sort of emphasis. Oddly, it reminded my slightly of e.e. cummings. (Woot!) "I teeter-totter on high heels." This and the above lines seriously managed to get incredibly sharp images to present themselves, which is uncommon for me when reading poetry. Fanbloodytabulous.

hey there! I thought this was really good..even if you didn't think it was your best...i still liked it *smiles* I loved your first stanza...something I think a lot of people..if not everyone can relate to..*raises hand* i know i could! I also liked the lines..

"Life in my shoes,Yeah, they're glittery and fakeThey get worn out far too quicklyIt won't be long until I break."

I've always liked the quote.."don't judge someone before you've walked in their shoes" and you took that quote and put true meaning to it. So kudos to that! *smile*

But..those last two lines...disturbed me...

"And no, I'm not important,So it won't matter when I fall."

*clears throat* if..you wrote this..about you..which, I'm assuming you did...? then...let me re asure you..that you ARE important, do not view yourself as unimportant...and it will matter if you were to fall...but you have friends who will be there to catch you..so, I doubt that you falling will happen ever...(unless ya have a clumsy moment? lol..i know ive had a few)

Either way though...i loved this poem, i thought you had some great metaphors, and you really brought to life your words...*sigh* yet again, i wish i had just half your talent, you really amazing at writing, and I can not tell you that enough...*smiles* I love ya bunches! I'm always here to talk to...(im always online too...usually..yay! for ppl with no lives!) I send you *HUGS* and more *HUGS* Can't wait to see you in june! it's been so long! *Tears* Miss you and love ya more then my beloved oreo poptarts! (thats alot...) *hugs* bye
