This was my first ever Acrostic poem. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
____________________
Can I want to be
Oh so much like you?
Maybe instead of who I am,
Easily able to walk away
Beyond even giving a damn.
Always ready to open or
Close any old door I choose,
Kicking to the curb
Those I deem mere refuse.
Of course then you wouldn't
Matter as much as now you do.
Existing without you, surely I'd be blue.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
