If only the profession got as much respect as the religeon.

I like choice, but I hate decisions,
I like to get to know people, but I hate conversation,

I like solitude, but I hate lonliness,
I like company, but I hate people,
I love life, but I hate living.


this is a collection of my thoughts and emotions over the last couple of weeks, i'm just a bit stressed and need to sort my head out

does this work as a poem? i tried to make each line progressively darker, did that come through?

I like it. I'm wondering if using a full-stop at the end instead of a comma would be more effective. I'm not just being picky, I just think it would make each couplet stand out more as a statement.

The jury is out on that one.

Good poem though. :D

Edit: This board really sucks for placing smilies by the way... :blink:

i used commas because i thought it was all really just one big juxtaposition, not a series, but a full stop would be grammatically correct, and you're the english student so i guess you're right ;)

and indeed placing smilies is a pain in the arse
