Analysis of Should I?



I went to sleep thinking of him..
Woke up this morning, with him still on my mind..

I ask myself , should I gime him a chance?
Would he make me happy or make me cry?

Could it be that, he's like the rest of the guys
The guys, that only wanted just one dance with me..
Then left me on the dancing floor alone.

I'm much older now...I had closed my door for a long time..

I think and wonder, should I give him a chance....

Should I ?

Where can I start. I love to write..I received (A-) on my Journal Writing Class,.. when I went to study for my G.E.D...My poetry really started when I first wrote (Why Bother)...I wrote it for a guy that I use to date..My favorite flower is a Blue Rose..I use to roller blade in Central Park in Manhattan in New York City....I use to love swimming, I was a very good Diver..I love pretty things..I have flowers all around my bedroom..I wear ribbons on my hair..Now that I am older, I spend my time making jewelry, for fun...I write my poems.. more…
