Conversations with Myself

Sometimes I need candy for the mind

Sometimes I need it to feel fine

Sometimes I need sweet and sugar

to reduce the bitter

of life's pickled brine

sometimes

 

Other times I need nothing but the air to breathe

and the earth beneath my feet

Other times I need just a warm bed, blanket and pillow

to rest and sleep

Other times all I need is water to drink and food to eat

other times

 

Anytime I need your adoration and glory

I need you to listen, to pay attention, think about and respect

my story

Anytime would be fine.

And so would some money. ;)

 

No time can you ask me to hurt,

Request me to work for another's pain.

No time can I be expected to hate,

Or be asked to wait on someones

death for personal gain.

no time

I like this poem...its a definite favorite..its so simply and it seems that you are as well. It flows effortlessly and I like the silly things you added in the poem it gives it a nice, innocent, humorous theme almost...I think I would have to disagree with some of the comments...I think this poem is perfect how it is and if this is how you wanted it then I don't think you should change a thing about it. Besides I give it a 10 so it couldn't be half as bad as they suggest it is...

I guess I don't quite agree with some of the other comments that I read here. I enjoyed the lines of this poem very much! Read through it a second time after browsing your comments and can only say that I don't understand the reason that there is any punctuation at all in this poem. The writing itself is brilliant, but the punctuation has to go! My opinion, I am in no way an expert on the subject just enjoy studying many different styles of writing in order to better myself. Great poem!

Not one of your best but I like it. We all get in sloppy slush sometimes and rush to share. Will wait for the rewrite.

I have enjoyed this poem. I, also need candy for my mind at times, money too :)) I like the message that you portrayed. God bless!

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
