i liked this one when i originally read it a couple of years ago.its a shame you have decided to take the glory for this as i happen to personally know the real author

francisraymonda... | December 22, 2009 - 20:32

uh, just to let you know...i wrote this myself

francisraymonda... | December 24, 2009 - 06:52

i dont really need to steal anybody's poem when i have the ability to come up with one myself :)

Dont mean to rain on your parade Francis but I have read this before as well . Not sure where but I definatley recognise it....sorry :(

That's ok.^_^ Though, I think that the reason you might have thought that you've heard this one before is that MAYBE you read another poem with the same writing style, structure or form. I also made the same mistake when I accused another poet on his work about not being his own...and then I later found out that he published it in different places (that's why I thought I've seen his poem before). And also, I reposted this poem =)

But keep in mind though that everything that I have put down in this website had originally came from either my own pen, ink, and paper or my own personal computer. XD
