You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

I saw you today,
But you're not as I remember.
Your eyes no longer sparkle,
You've changed since last September.

You were so full of life,
Yet now you are so cold.
Your personality has tarnished,
When you once had a heart of gold.

You fell out of my life,
Just like leaves in the fall.
We were so very close,
Now you're not here at all.

You saw me today,
I'm the same as you remember.
My eyes still sparkle,
I've not changed since last September.

Isn't it so sad when you see an old friend and their whole personality and outlook on life has changed...and not for the good. Well that's what inspired me for this poem...I hope you enjoyed it

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

I love this piece. I can really relate to it and it's awesome. I like how you compared the friend 'falling from your life' like leaves in the fall. Great comparison. I also liked how you used the same stanza at the beginning and the end of the poem except changed the ending words to fit you and how you haven't changed.

I love this. It's short but amazing. This is how I feel, except I'm on the opposite end.

I really like what you had to say about your friend it was very moving in a lot of ways. I think you should keep up the good work and never back down on what you want in life.
