Twin Poem

I don't want to belong,
I want to be part of.
I don't want to be one among many,
I want to be one with all.

Sometimes it seems like every
Man wants to belong.
Sometimes it seems like every
Woman wants to be lead.

I don't want to go seeking,
I want to create.
I don't yearn for leading,
I'll cooperate.

Sometimes a word has
Two thousand nuances.
Don't bother reflecting,
Reach into the core.

This is one of 'twin poems' that me and a friend wrote at the same time without knowing the other was writing a poem. The other twin lives here.

Fun fact - you can read it in four different ways, and it'll make sense anyways. 1) Read it as it is, 2) read only the even numbered lines, 3) read only the even numbered verses, 4) read only odd numbered verses. Too bad that the odd numbered lines don't make sense all on their own.

"Sometimes a word has

This has so much to go off of or get into. You can translate things into so many different areas, but when you get down to it why not just go with what is most important and not bother with silly details. I think that's what you're trying to reach at here, or at least I think that's the "core" of that part.

"I don't want to go seeking,
I want to create.

These to lines so openly clash it's intriguing. Actually....never mind I can see them meaning the same thing. You just want something to get done, and be beneficial. However you never mention that for something to get done, some groundwork has to be laid. You almost need certain people dictating, or leading, to get that finished.

This poem is ridiculously democratic and for some reason I want to blab on and on thinking more into this and getting it out. I'll stop digging for stuff to talk about and just give it a fave for perfect delivery and meaning. I hope you know this is the first poem here I've faved too....

Why not check some of my stuff out? I'm not sure yet but it seems like the poetry and prose here is somewhat lacking in both views and variety...I've only been here 3 days though.
