They say
People who care
don't matter
and those who don't care
do

I say
they have it backwards.
Those who care
mean the most
and those who don't
don't matter much

Because
You see
If they care about you
They must matter
Right?

And if they don't care
what's so special
about them?

So.

Do the people who care
matter
or not?

it doesn't feel like a poem completely, but it was pretty good

makes scence to me.

sorry but that was stupid
i understand it but maybe you should've made this into a persuasive essay lol
your words are spread over too many lines and it makes the poem choppy and there were no elements of poetry anywhere
you should try writing things that are more like Poor Richard's Almanac theme
and you're little statement about who cares really doesn't have anything to it, of course the people that don't care don't matter?

Non-rhyming poems are interesting. So is your message. biggrin
