Shadow used to represent your soul following you. So if you are missing your shadow, it means you are missing a soul. That is an urban legend anyways. Just a thought.
Sailorfire, are you sure you wrote the poem. How come you can't interpret your own poem?

I don't think it was exactly a "dumb" question... critical would be more exact... *thinks of english class* *shivers* ((But then again its your own poem... who am I to say anything)) Poems convey emotion. If it doesn't do that, well then its just a jumble of words that we pray sounds good. If you understand your past you can hopefully avoid running into a dead end next time you're in a situation. Learn from everything, and live your own way. Take knowledge and use it to keep yourself safe and to make others lives better with that knowledge (I doubt many people read my long posts but I still type it anyway - - it might help or annoy someone^^)

I'm one of the annoyed someone...j/k lol.. I think Blu is right, and I agree with him. Also, I think newbert was just trying to understand the reason for why you don't understand what you have written yourself (if it's your own work). It's not really a dumb question.

I mean, just because the writer writes a poem for this sole purpose, other people might think of it meaning something else...^_^" ....um, am i making sense? lol

i saw him from a distance, he held a bloody lance. he walked a mile... i wore a bright smile. he had defeated his enemy and now we were happy. we then merrily celebrated in joy and laughter. a poem by me. my interpretation: a damsel in distress gets rescued and then, they celebrate!

I mean, just because the writer writes a poem for this sole purpose, other people might think of it meaning something else...^_^" ....um, am i making sense? lol I thought it was a valid question, since it is a personal poem, interpreting something you wrote shouldnt be too thought provoking. There would have been a reason why you chose those specific words to express your thoughts and feelings. Unless you didnt put much thought into it at all and thrown around some random words. Also, Sakura i do understand what you are saying as the notion of using poem as a medium for a responder is for them to interpret the poem to how it suits them. It is obvious that you haven't been paying attention to the previous post because what you have said is irrelevant .

Another contradictory poem Title: people say I am stuck… People say that I am a little girl stuck inside an adult world Oh how I wish to be, an adult. So I can learn to take an insult And not react so violently I wish I could express my feelings silently Oh how I will try To not ever cry For no one wants to be A best friend for me Oh how is life, I ask my outer self I put on a mask and my love is for myself Life may be full of strife, but it is not a knife that can take away life Why, may I ask myself… Am I mature? Is it due to nature? Ps: pls note: I am 18 yrs old now and this was written about 4 years ago and I was so confused about being a teenager…

Isn't this poem very similar to your previous one you posted?
Did you write these two poems around the same time?

Sorry, I know I may be critical sometimes. But I can understand that it is hard to explain to someone about you're own feelings. It's probably best left unexplained. So you should let DS wondering, rather than giving her the answers. hehehe ;D
