Not Quite a Poem (by my brother)

he sits on his porch thinking;
When do I get a turn?
When do I get a shot at success?
Am I ever going to have a comfortable life?
Do I have a soul mate?
If I do, will I ever find her?
Do people like me?
Am I a nice person?
How come I don't have more friends?
he is scared of living a life that no one will remember.
Do I help people?
I hope there are some people who need me.
Have I left my mark?
Do I have a mark to leave?

When am I going to die?
I hope it's not soon.
I still have alot to do.

This is somethin' my brother Jim DeNofa wrote while in high school.

any way i try and word this it's gonna sound a bit rude....
odd..curious..a bit interesting....not sure really what to think...**Stumped** :)

I think it is something that anyone with an IQ over 90 can relate to at one point in their life or another.

I think you need to learn your place and shut up.Your rudeness is ****ing pissing me off now.

KAZAN , exactly my thoughts ...hey SHH!, why dont you try doing like your name and just SHHHHH

I don't understand your hostility towards Shh, but I didn't sense anything offensive towards you personally from her statement.

What's goin' on Shh?

Have you been pickin' on these guys?

Oooh! So sensitive! Read it again boys! I said * at one point in their lives or another *, people will relate to this poem. I didn't say YOUR IQs are < 90. If you cannot relate, don't worry, you will.

Sheesh!

My thoughts exactly.

I've seen nothing but negativity from Shh since i joined,and i am bloody sick of it.Not that i'm taking it personal..but i did't join this forum so i could listen to someones pissy negativity because they have no respect for people.

If you don't like 'er that much then don't respond to her.

She's just as much part of this forum as you are and if you can't deal with it don't come here anymore.

I've done my fair share of offending and an equal amount of being offended.

If that's something you can't deal with then stop posting.

Simple as that.

And another thing, I'd have to say you were completely out of line and off topic with your comment.

Then go away. I was here first.

now its getting childish ... :bored:

That's kinda funny, coming from someone who apparently thinks it is mature to tell people who disagree with them to hush rather than engage them in dialogue.

how high is 90?

I think 90-110 is considered the range for average intelligence.

Fras - your brother's poem gives me hope that there are thoughtful, pensive teenagers out there who think about things other than sex. Very impressive for a high-schooler, although it makes me a bit wistful on his behalf.

:bored: i dont think a sarcastic dismal girlfriend would help his lil brothers questions in life. Perhaps someone a bit happier

oh kids and their temper tantrums.

Who is the sarcastic, dismal girlfriend supposed to be?

Very impressive for a high-schooler, although it makes me a bit wistful on his behalf

wistful=Full of wishful yearning.(from dictionary.com)

i apologize i was only aware of the above meaning. therefore your statement implied/ i interpertred it as an intrest in the specified charcter.

the other meaning

Pensively sad; melancholy.

makes no sense why you would feel sad for someone who doesnt take all the garbage the world through at him and is trying to think for himself.

Does this place have a chat area it would be alot easier than bickering on a forum


:horror: im scared of strong willed girls

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalrighty then.

You don't get a sense of melancholy when reading that poem? It asks the fundamental questions about the important things in life and reminds me of how difficult it is to be a high school kid. That the questions he asks are largely unanswerable is what makes me sad.

How is that remotely sarcastic?

And yes, you SHOULD be afraid of strong-willed females. We are powerful. And evil.
:-D

evilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllll}

I do but i see it as a step foward in life. You have to question before you lear.
A bit of sadness for understanding cancels itself out.

ps: u wouldnt happen to have a messanger that we could discuss this easier on ?

WHOA WHOA.

My brother is 25 now (he's 6 years older than me).

He wrote this when he was in highschool and I was in elementary school.

I'd also like to mention he's now newly, and happily married.

No, no messenger. Sorry.

Congratulations on your brother's nuptuals, Frasbee! He must've been quite a catch.

I would consider any girl to have gotten my brother to be lucky.
