Analysis of Pro Pro Pro Con List



You love me so much,
And I love you, really I do.
I know everything about you,
And you, honestly, get me
Even though you say I’m complex.
I feel safe with you;
The fire is just burning less.
You call me your home.
And with you safe in my heart,
I never feel alone.
You make me smile,
Even when I’m so, so angry.
And you’d walk 1,000 miles
Just to hold my hand.
When I’m in a giving up mood,
You force me to stand.
You always put me first.
And you always care when I hurt.
You think I’m beautiful,
Even when I say I’m not.
I want you always and forever.
I’m so sorry that I forgot.

Rachel

I can't write about myself in third person, so let's make this an autobiography.I'm Rachel. I'm a nineteen year old college student. And, well, I'm pretty boring. I'm awkward, and I'm selfish. I'm both too serious and too whimsical. I'm hundreds of conflicts contained in a girl. I've only had one real love and I've been head over heels since I was fourteen (He's too stubborn to leave). Most things I write have a little of him between the lines. I'm trying to find my way through growing up and constantly fighting my instincts to pack up and runaway. I think too much and terrify myself. Life scares me and sometimes I forget to live. Insomnia and feeling lost led me here (it also led me to start blogging: http://growinguplostgirl.blogspot.com/)I'm here to grow so please critique anything and everything I post. The structure of my poems would probably give my old high school English teachers a heart attack. My punctuation, or lack there of, probably wouldn't make them feel any better. I get that people are very protective of their creations, but you can tear mine to shreds, as long as you respect the emotions behind them. Harsh criticism wont make me sob into a pillow, promise. more…
