About the Poem

Every time you watch the news, you realize how lucky you are. We have a home, family, friends. Yet, sometimes we all hate our lives. But why? It makes me feel guilty when I complain about some messed up relationship or some little misfortune that comes my way. Then I realize how lucky I am and all these obstacles seem so small compared to what many other people have to suffer.

I'm strongly against bombing in Kosovo. I feel the same way about Milosovich. I just don't understand why innocent people on both sides have to suffer from the stupidity of people in power.

Looking For The Sun

by Nikki

I hope I never have to suffer
The way you do.
And I don't even know
How much life deserted you.

My misery is just a joke
Compared to what you must feel.
My greatest fear is an illusion,
To you, your fear is real.

You cry for help,
But you know they don't hear.
They're just too far
when you thought they were near.

You see no light
And you gave up on looking for the sun
Cause you need miracles
To come along - to find it.

Very touching poem . People get so caught up in their own problems and think no one else has problems . But everybody does in some way or another .
