...Very Intriguing!!? Alright guys, this is going to be sort of long but stick with me, it will be worth it. I wrote a poem about world ideology, in my view. I want you to answer a few questions, and the person that answers them most precisely, gets the ten points. Sounds easy huh? Sort of. This is going to make you think to an extent, so get ready. I wrote this all from the heart, so please do not think it was plagiarized or anything like that, because it was not. Though it is sort of like a story though! Here are the questions:

1) How would you describe my personality or label. (ex. prep, emo, goth, philosophical, redneck, nerd, and so on.) Feel free to pick any combination or these or your own.

2) How do you relate, and do you agree with me?

3) Guess my age precisely to the year, without looking at my profile.

4) How do you feel about the world?

5) Open to criticism and opinions.

Shall I say, I would like really in depth opinions and responses as well. You do not have to answer the following in that order. That being said, here is the poem. Hope you get something out of it! ( ;

"Everyone has had the feeling, when they were let go from the comfort of their parents, the cold menacing wind of the world upon they're face. It seems as though things like this happen too often though. Is there anything else, any alternative, but to conform to the way of the world? Everyone does it, just unconsciously.

As we wake in the morning, in hope of something more, you were once again thrown to the ground, because there seems to be no room for you anymore.

The years have worn on the hearts of those that shared their love for you, and seems that there is no other choice but to slip away, like we have always done.

Soon, as everyone learns what the world is like, and have stood the cold wind for so long, it does not seem so cold. It is just another part of the uniform motion of the world in which we live in. This is really all it is, isn't it?

I have looked for more, but have found only things that are out of my reach until the day comes of a new era, but who knows when that will be.

We think, 'How could the world be so cruel?' But this is nothing new, just a part of the cycle in which some so foolishly hope more of. Sad thing huh, that the love and joy that we all used to sing about always slips the grip of our society.

How I wish there was more to this. Just something that I could work towards, but does not go away, because everything sort of just perishes under the setting of the sun.

Then comes the dusk, the end of the day, and all that you worked for comes to an end, as we all inevitably know it will.

At that time, some of the people will look back at their life and say, 'Well, I did what I could, and got closer than most others.'

During the same time, the other half shall say, 'When do I reach my goal?'

But even through all of this, there will be one person that will say, 'I overcame conformation, and just let myself go, which is the closest to change that anyone could get.'

In our world today, we always strive for something, something that we hope will make us look better, that will make our parents proud, that will give us security, that will define the great line of who we are.

So you may ask, well how did this one person overcome such a feat, when all the world is is one big cycle? Well, something had to make the cycle, and we all know what it is. Who it is. We just can't reach it yet, until it inspires someone to show us that their still is mystery left in this world, and that their is the odd one out that allows us to follow in their path, conform like we always do.

This is what you would call the Cycle of Life my friends."

Well, I hope you liked it, and please give me all the elaboration that you possibly could, and thank you so much. I have always waited to get some of my feelings out, and I just let myself do it.
I need EVERYONE to try and answer this please. It would be really appreciated. THANK YOU!!!!!
Haha, funny. You can still see how shallow some of these peoples answers are. I can tell you that none of these so far are getting the best answer. (The first two) Well, people, keep on trying.
 
1) How would you describe my personality or label. (ex. prep, emo, goth, philosophical, redneck, nerd, and so on.) Feel free to pick any combination or these or your own.

I would say that you are quite philosophical and wise. You have interpret the Cycle of Life in your own words, and the words stand out pretty strong and intelligently.

2) How do you relate, and do you agree with me?

Yes, I would agree with you, for the world being one big cycle. The changes that inspires the cycle comes from people that makes a difference. As the cycle moves, other people are led by that 'special someone' and inspires more change. That's the way how the world is shaped. Humans make the changes in order to keep the world moving. One's actions inspire the others, and more change occurs. This is how the world goes round and round in an everlasting cycle.

3) Guess my age precisely to the year, without looking at my profile.

Well, due to your knowledge and wording of this poem/story, I would be guessing that you are around 60-70, but however your image suggests that you're a teen about 16 or 17. However, stick with 60-70 as my answer. That's really wise of you.

4) How do you feel about the world?

I would also compare this world to a cycle, something like an ever-turning wheel. It goes round and round, and the past shapes the future. From birth to death, life goes on and on. There is no stop in this wheel. Someone who stands out would influence others and the way this world would flow.

5) Open to criticism and opinions.

Please note, at the end of your poem, that "their" is used incorrectly. "Their" means belong to them, and instead, you should use "there".
Overall, I think your poem is very nice, and I'm not saying it, because I want the 10 points.

Okay, now, do you want to guess my age?
 
I would say that you are an emo as you seem to be against everything in life and you have a really bad look upon things; it seems from this that you have been let down way to many times.
I think that you are about 15 or 16 born in the year 1993 as most people in which are disturbed by what is going on in the world and are against things like an emo are roughly around the age of 16.
I relate a little but when something bad happens to me although I thought it was going to be good, I am a little bit sad but the thing is why should I waste my time in sorrow I mean you only live life once!
The world today is very confusing with the economic down turn and global warming! but what most annoys me is the fact that teenagers have so little to do and resort to drinking and drugs to pass the time away as there is nothing more to do than hang about street corners.

Hope this answer was what you hoped for! xoxo
 
I would describe you as philosophical, I can relate because I do believe that we all are looking for something more than ourselves. I don't disagree or agree with you I mean some of the things you said I agreed with others not so much. Uh, I don't know how old you are and I don't see how you would expect us to figure that out by your poem. The world is a cold yet wonderful place I mean I was always the kind of person who believed in equality for all, that we shouldn't criticize the rest of the world for slavery and other wrong doings for people of color, until we were stopped by the police for no reason and the officer asked for my ID even though I wasn't driving, that made me a little bitter I can say. Made me look at the world differently. I also found out about an African boy Ota Benga who was kept in the zoo along the gorillas because they said he looked like a monkey. They killed his entire family. Bastards. It's a shame that this is what the world is but I refuse to let it invade and taint my world. My world is free of racism and I won't allow it into my world. Anyway, conformation definitely is the key to society. If you don't conform people think differently of you and I am not a conformist, I conform for no one. I am an original. An individual. Anyway, I liked your poem. It brought my mind back to where it used to be, so thank you. Great poem. Oh you could be a little more blunt...good luck with you're writing.

I can't tell your age or your personality from this poem. Actually, did you call it a poem? It's not. It's more of a lament.

Winging it, I would NORMALLY say you were about 17. But that's because I'm comparing it to me when I was 17. The problem is that most 17 year olds today are almost ILLITERATE. I've seen the grunts and groans that pass for sentences and words on this forum. Soon these people will have trashed their own birthright: education...and people from foreign countries will hire THEM to clean their million dollar homes. Anyone who thinks Guitar Hero (pretending to be a rock star in your living room) is a worthy goal has pretty much no future whatsoever. Maybe they can learn how to clean toilets. Who knows? In any event, since your piece it far from illiterate, I can also assume you're in your early twenties.

There's no final goal for learning, by the way. Your learning right now is mostly horizontal. It's when it becomes vertical that things become interesting.
