My computer hasn't been good lately, and I haven't been able to go on the blogs.
New American Classic
This was inspired by the song, "New American Classic", by Taking Back Sunday. I suggest you to listen to it, it's a very well written song. It also has almost nothing to do with the song, so instead of trying to explain my interpretation of the song, and then what my piece here is about, I'll just let you read it and take it however you want. I do use some lyrics from the song itself, I think twice.
Don't waste my time.
I didn't want this.
Nor did you.
So please,
End the pain,
Let it die away,
Waste away.
Untie the knot,
And stop killing me slowly.
Don't stretch it out,
Don't make it more than it is.
Don't agonize this anymore,
Say you won't care.
Please.
I know it's only one thing, but I'm still changing "Reach For Glory", and such, so bear with me for now.
It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. -Carl Sagan
Times change, worlds change, but people, people never change.
What had started as an arduous project is now one of my passions. I love to write; this is where I try to paint pictures--with words. I'm a sophomore in high school, if you're wondering.

I like the poem a lot, though I can't compare it to the song, because I haven't heard it yet. It has a lot of mixed thoughts and feelings for me, which I'm guessing is something you want. Do you want a reader to have mixed emotions from a piece, or do you want them to really know what they are feeling, and feel strongly about it?
You do have to listen to the song to get more of a sense of the poem, but this one was intended to give one situation that gave many emotions. Listen to the song if you can.
