Nice! It reminded me of all the times I rode the bus home from school and I stood there listening other people's conversations and got some interesting glimpses of other lives!
Some things I didn't understand, like "Like spotted teens with butterflies aflutter". I know it's a metaphor, but unless it's for teenagers in-love, I'm completely clueless to its meaning (English is not my primary language therefore I have some trouble understanding metaphors.. It's very hard to translate them into another language)
Like the rest of your work, I like this one very much! Thumbs up!

Beauty! Well done sir. Liked this immensely, as I do so much of your work. This one stands out from the rest though. Very poignant, and very much all of us, if we only admit it. Thank you for the read, and the revelation.

I enjoyed this piece because I think I do the same thing here. Partake of these little tidbits of information that would otherwise be useless to me. Thanks for sharing your epiphany that when one concentrates on learning about other people, they can have the joy of forgetting about themselves.

Very good, a few rhythm problems, but it was deep and easy to understand. Work on the problems with rhythm and you'll have a good poem here.

Like a sponge I crave their raw emotion,
the most extreme I take as mine to keep. This is great itsets up the subject solidly
most every person looking to atone--Hey I knew what you meant!!! Great job!

Bravo. Mr. G, you've hit the nail on the end, Sir. I've tried to write this poem, but you have done it better. You've kept it light, which we, as writer's too often forget to do. Well done

Watching lives unravel hidden secrets,
sustenance partaken with my eyes.
This line I like the best. Your poem was a nice
read and I didn't see any mistakes.
The ending was excellent and tied the enter
write together for meaning and purpose.
Very good.

Don't you ever stop inventing words and phrases! Don't you dare!
Charming and delightful with your usual unique flair for imagery. A perfect metaphor for everyone who is so afraid of life that they have to live the lives of others.
Your wonderful voice is always welcome, keep it up!

Now with this poem I get a little confused but it doesn't discourage me from finishing it which I am happy I didn't because I would of missed something really lovely.
