Dysfunctional
October 12, 2009
We were so wrong,
That we made it right.
We slept through the day,
And only talked at night.
We never told the truth,
We only lied.
We always laughed,
When we should have cried.
We were never bland,
We had to add spice.
We were always naughty,
But rarely nice.
We used the words hate,
Instead of using love.
We fell into a ditch,
Instead of rising above.

This poem is extremely well written. I hope to see more from you I the future. This poem is interesting right from the start, when you said “We were so wrong” you had me attention immediately. This is also every emotional like when you said “We always laughed, when we should have cried.” So keep up your righting and make more poems soon.

cool poem, i like it
This reminds me of me and my friend who's a boy who I kind of like, but I have the feeling that it's just we're not quite mature enough yet, and that's okay (I'm 14). Anyways, this poem is really, really good, and I love it, from title to ending sentence, which, by the way, was great. Could you check out some of my work? I'd love to hear what you think!
