Profound words for a fourteen year old. Unfortunately those words are all too true in todays world.

I was wondering what exactly Vertwijfeling was... but now I know it must mean Desperation in Dutch; learn something new every day (:

A great write, I cant believe this was written at such a young age, because truly it is well written. Indeed 'money is all that matters' for some today, I'm glad you posted this because that part is completely relevant in today's world.

Great work.

Aw i cant believe you wrote this so young! i'm really glad you found it, it's sad and beautiful :) great job on this piece 5
katie *hugs*

At 14 you could write such beautiful poems... talented you are :)
thought provoking write :)

Good insight for one so young and so true.

The word Vertwijfeling really caught my attention, I was like, is that a new poetry form or...?

I couldn't believe it that you wrote this at such a very young age. I'm like omg Ingrid wrote this when she was a teen.

I like the idea that this poem was expressed in melancholy tone but yet filled with truth.

Have I ever told you that you're a talented poet? Well I guess this poem from young Ingrid just proves how talented you are.

Very well done! When you see what is
happening to this world a sense of desperation does call..a touching write..take care :)

Wow! Very well written! I can't belive you were my age at the time. Things haven't changed much, have they?

Great write, 5/5!

mandy :)

.............Money is all that matters,
no one truly cares
for his fellow man.

Ingrid?
thats why me and u are so much alike..I feel like even wen u was a teen..u lived sadness to its wisdom level!!!!

if that wasa written wen u were only 14..then Im speechless..bout this poet thriving inside of u.

ur son is so lucky//thats all im gna say
5/5

You wrote this piece when you were only 14 Ingrid?
Wow! What maturity and foresight you had even then!
Yes, the world is as you write it here, but we must all believe in hope. It is still a beautiful world, despite mans many attemps to destroy it.
Nice work Ingrid.
