Acting Out

.            Acting Out

Standing, lying, falling, crawling, I keep trying, crying, lying, rhyming, love is blinding
I play, obey, eat, -I digest, caress the softness, when I'm blinking, I'm found sinking 
I find myself thinking, walking, talking, mocking, craving, misbehaving, and dreaming
Shake, break, my heart can't take, I smile, in style, small thoughts, are all I got
I'm lazy, hazy, I get crazy, I shout, when in doubt, Acting Out, that's what I'm all about

What a characterization of acting out...a drama queen for sure. Congratulations on your win, well-deserved. The many emotional talents of an artist of the stage and screen.

Very good I liked your poem. I only started writing poems since my wife died in 2009 I can relate to rhyming poems better than others. As you can tell from my poems. A lot of poems I don’t understand and I would hate to give a wrong comment. I want my poems to honor my wife long after I’m gone. Thank you I had to go to the dictionary for the word "couplets"

loll.i found this funny. a very amusing rhyme.hahahaa. hey, sorry i havn't been on for long anymore.i've been in summer school. and i have forced myself to study a lot. i barely study anything, and its a really bad habit,so i need to start now. so like i had fun while doing so today,in a group at my summer class. we had a good laugh, we were all doing so well, until the sounds of this girl in the hallway sneezing non-stop, but it sounded more like moans and banging of a wall.ahh,good stuff
