"Loving the shovel and loathing it's user" - sublime! I can relate to this as I never used to accept friendship or kind words; I always felt that there was something more sinister or cruel to it. I have the confidence now to accept compliments and kind words and don't dig myself in any deeper by refusing to accept that I am a wonderful person.
as Kirrsch said i can really relate to this poem too.
It's like you what to be discovered and noticed but you are scared of what people are going to think. or have I got completely the wrong end of the stick?
...wow, you sorta got me with that one O.O
This is just another "I can relate"-comment, but I really really do.
Awesome, awesome (an over-used word that is sooo not good enough to describe your poems).
AMAZINGLY AWESOME!
