The Sunset Slips Away Megan Shortest Girl In America
Looking at the sunset
The sun slipping away
Falling slowly behind the horizon line
Reminds me of what we let go
or was it truly a matter of letting go
or holding on too tight...
No, it was letting go,
You let go
But yet it was holding too tight...
I was holding on
Did I scare you?
Or was it the way you felt
that you feared
Don't be ashamed,
the strength of my feelings scared me at times
were you afraid to fall in, heels over head?
I noticed my fear
when it was too late-
when i was on my way down-
when i was falling-
but was it falling or flying?
I couldn't tell
That is, until i hit the ground.
You didn't hit as hard as I did
did you?
Did you ever begin to fall?
or fly?
Were you scared to spread your wings?
I wasn't
Not for long, that is
But spreading your wings...
that's very vunerable, isn't it?
I see that now;
easier to get shot down...
But that view!
The view from up there...
Breathtaking
Up there, you can see everything,
and nothing looks to big to handle...
but somehow, its still so overwhelming.
It's easy to remember
how that felt...
soaring, wind beneath my wings...
but its harder to forget.

"How about everyone stops asking for reviews in their descriptions if people like it enough they will review. As for your writing skills and poem; nothing special there. You can't just state things and expect it to be a poem. You have to use imagery, metaphors and words that imply meaning; not just write basic words that a 5 year old could string together. I am sick of all the people on this site who think they can just put a lot of mediocre crap on here and flood the site so the truly talented writers are lost in all your shit!" -- davey.
"If you can't handle reviews then don't write! you asked for them. Its really grea when you ask for reviews but only keep the nice ones" -- davey.
"If you can't handle my response then take this shit poem off the site because everyone is going to respond the same! How dare you delete someones opinion when you asked for it" -- Davey.
"you kno what davey...you can just suck a duck...this is a very nice poem... i think it was well written and this megan girl must have put a whole lot of thought into it...im sorry that youre pissed off at the world that you dont see a good thing when it hits you in the face...and all poems dont have to be full of metaphors and shit...sometimes simple things are good... id like to see you write a better one." -- sierra, seattle, usa, washington.
"Ha Ha okay megan if you wanted to pretened to be this "sierra" chick you should have waited a little longer before responding and talking yourself up, and they dont have to be full of metaphors but you cant just write plain and simple what you are thinking unless it is artistic. Thia is shit and stop pretending to be someone else to make your poem look good" -- Davey.
"Even IF Sierra was Megan she was right. The poem is quiet good, especially for her age and she has the same right as you do Dvaey to write on this site. Good work Megan :)" -- Rebecca.
"i agree with the two girls who...as sierra said..."arent so pissed off at the world that they cant see something good when it hits them in the face" i think this poem is awsome...i know you put alot of work into it...so good job...keep writin homie...LOVE YA" -- steph kidd.
