A Pebble

A pebble 


I feel like a pebble in 
a big waterfalls
everything is
crashing down

Can someone help me
I can barely see 
everything around me 
is wrong 

Its pounding crashing whirling spinning 
unruly it never stops

I wish I could be 
a big mighty stone
I want to do big stone stuff

But im just a pebble 
smashed and  disheveled

A pebble that is never a rock

Thank you. Tell me, I need the truth. I think some of my poems are amazingly good. But I just can't tell. I feel like a primitive beginner. Do they read like beautiful art....what are they..??? Tell me they are beautiful...did they make you cry?

Hello, Dean WOW, that's a very sad feeling. Can you imagine being a large rock under a waterfall. The water splashing in every wrong way, while the pebble gets the full impact of life, becoming cleansed during it's roughest time.... What I am Trying To say... "Oh Look I found A Lovely Pebble, I'm putting it in my pocket and taking it home." Love LINDA

Thank you for that. I did imagine that very same story line. I want to be a beautiful pebble. One that someone would love. I see what I can do. ??
