            <description>    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;Where do I belong?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;It&amp;#39;s a question commonly asked.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;I could search the world,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;TRYING to find that place I&amp;#39;m meant to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;But trying only complicates it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;I could spend my entire life searching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;But where will that get me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;It&amp;#39;ll leave me confused and oh, so lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;It&amp;#39;ll leave me wondering, forever,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;ready to give up on it all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;So, you know what?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;I&amp;#39;m just going to live&amp;#160;my life,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;day by day by day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;And maybe I&amp;#39;ll find that place&amp;#160;I should be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;But until then,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;I&amp;#39;m not going to worry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;i won&amp;#39;t&amp;#160;spend&amp;#160;my life searching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;Cause searching,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;will only leave&amp;#160;me lost.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;It has been brought to my attention,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that High school really isnt as mature is it should be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The people still talk, just not as loud.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bullies still bully, just not as bad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Backstabbing bitches still exist,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but are afraid to show themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And guys think with their &amp;quot;little head&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;more than ever before.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Trust no one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s my new philosophy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dont trust the girl who sits next to you in History,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;she just wants to cheat off of your work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dont trust that seemingly perfect guy who gave you a wink in the halls,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he heard you are easy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dont trust that clique of girls who said they liked your hair.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They laughed at you when you walked away.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;High school is full of fake people everywhere you look.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hell, think about it... you&amp;#39;re fake to!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reading this poem like you are actually interested.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So dont even trust yourself...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you might get stabbed all the same&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i like it till u get the the last 2 lines... but i couldnt think of anythin else.... :&amp;#39;(&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;p&gt;just a tiny light way up high.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thats what you are to most.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But to me,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you are the most gorgeous thing&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ve ever laid my eyes upon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love to sit and watch you sparkle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I get lost in your beauty,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and cannot seem to find a way out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, the stars are beautiful,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but I was looking at YOU.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;They say I&amp;#39;m dying for attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s why I do what I do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s why I cut my wrists at night,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and why I &amp;quot;claim&amp;quot; to want to die.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, yes..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because all I need is more attention,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because that is SO what&amp;#160;I want.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NO.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did it ever cross your mind that maybe,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;just maybe,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I really want to end it all?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That I really am in so much pain,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that i can&amp;#39;t bare it anymore.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Did you ever stop to think,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;about what I&amp;#39;M going through?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About how much hurt i hold inside me?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;About how all&amp;#160;i do, is cry and cry?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because all you think about it you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You just want a reason to ignore yet another person,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and concentrate on yourself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So that you can be the center of attention once again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;well guess what?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who&amp;#39;s dying for attention now?&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;People search the world just to find one thing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why were we &amp;quot;put&amp;quot; here?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why do we exist?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They spend their entire lives searching for what it right in front of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &amp;quot;meaning of life&amp;quot; is not to worship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is not to spend your life trying to live perfect for a god.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is to simply live loving,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and to love living.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Live life to the fullest,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;let no one stand in your way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meaning of life is to find yourself,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;whoever that may be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is not to live as if in a colt of religion,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it is to embrace life itself,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;to make the best of what you have.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I say it again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The meaning of life is to live loving,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and to love living.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;live life to its fullest,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;and let NO ONE stand in your way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i think my ideas may be back.. i like this one :)) tell me what you think :)&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;just give it time.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;To just forget.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;BITCH!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I want you to go through this!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Feel what I&amp;#39;m feeling then try to just&amp;#160;&amp;quot;forget&amp;quot;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&amp;#39;m tired of listening to you people.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;You DON&amp;#39;T understand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;You have NO clue what&amp;#160;I&amp;#39;m going through,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and your &amp;quot;help&amp;quot; is just fucking me up more.&amp;#160;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;So dont give me a word of advice,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;if you havent been through it before.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And dont put your two cents in,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;if you dont know what you&amp;#39;re talking about.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just leave me alone,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;unless you carry real help with you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But untill then,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;just let me be.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And if you see me struggling in the water,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;ok. so i wrote this poem... called underestimated... i showed it to a friend of mine, and surprisingly wrote one in reply to it. i asked if i could post our little... mini conversation thing on here and he said it was fine so here ya go.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;UNDERESTIMATED&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&amp;#39;m tired of you people telling me that I dont understand,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I&amp;#39;m too young, I&amp;#39;ll figure it out when I&amp;#39;m older.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;You dont know me, you cant read my thoughts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;So who are you to say what I do and do not understand?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;You all underestimate me, just because of my age.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yeah, I&amp;#39;m 14, get over it! I already have!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I comprehend a lot more than you may think.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I understand so&amp;#160; much of what you say I wouldnt.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But i am held back by my age.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;People should be judged upon their maturity,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and their comprehension of how things work.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not upon how long they&amp;#39;ve had to figure it out.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;No I don&amp;#39;t know how everything works,&amp;#160;but who does?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Surely not you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;What do i have to do,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;to make you understand?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am 14 going on 15 with a mind underestimated.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;this was his reply.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;YET TO BLOOM&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don&amp;#39;t you hold your head too high.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dont let your chin point upward.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;For the world is humbling.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your maturity is valuable,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;but your humility is worth so much more.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;If you listen you will hear.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;If you look you will see&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;That age holds a certain wisdom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;There are lessons for you to learn.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And there are lessons for you to teach.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;your age is not a restriction-&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;it is an oportunity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;you have time and so much of it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It&amp;#39;s value&amp;#160;evades you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Maybe the old will seem more wise&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;when you are their companion.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Look&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Listen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Learn&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your age has a value that is hard to appreciate now.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It is not your age that is valuable,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;it is the time itself.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Time will bring many lessons that no mom can teach you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Develope yourself. That should be your goal.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Because whether you believe it or not you have time to grow.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;For you have yet to bloom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;-Lucien Smith &lt;/strong&gt;( sorry if i spelled your name wrong.. i wasnt sure)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;i LOVED it! and i wrote back, though he did not want to see it.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;del&gt;&lt;/del&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;so now you get the see the part of the conversation that only I know about lol :)&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;del&gt;&lt;/del&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;UNTITLED&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;my head perfectly balanced-&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not too high, yet not too low.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;My chin points not up nor down,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;but straight out.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I do not say that I am better than other kids my age,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;nor more mature.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I simply say that my mind and comprehension is underestimated,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;similar to most other 14 year old children.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;People look at me, look at my age,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and say &amp;quot;she knows nothing&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And to an extent they are right,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But only to an extent.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I know not much,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;but i do understand how so many things work.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes i have much time,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and with that time will come many lessons.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But just because i am 14,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;does not mean that my lessons already learned&amp;#160;is limited.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I am a quick-learning teenager,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;with so much more to learn,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;this I know.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But i HAVE learned in the past 14 years many things,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;that is what i speak of.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I know that I don&amp;#39;t know everything&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And that I never will.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But&amp;#160;I know what I know.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;You can not take that from me,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;just because I am but 14.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yes, wisdom comes with age.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But who says that is the ONLY thing wisdom comes with?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wisdom comes with experiences,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;with life in general.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;14 years of life have brought unto me,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;a certain... maturity,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and at the risk of sounding self-ritious a bit of wisdom.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.24em&quot;&gt;Just a bit&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I refuse to get told &amp;quot;You wouldn&amp;#39; understand&amp;quot; anymore.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;At least try me, let ME be the one to say I don&amp;#39;t understand.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;And if i don&amp;#39;t, then teach me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Give me a lesson to go with another day&amp;#39;s age.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;del&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;Thanks Lucien, if you ever read this, for letting me post your poetry. It is EXTREMELY good. It really is. I&amp;#39;m glad others will be able to enjoy it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;AAAAHHH!!! lately i have been blocked. I&amp;#39;d pick up a pen or a pencil and my mind would just go blank.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;i haven&amp;#39;t been able to write anything! my ideas are like.. GONE! thats&amp;#160;OK though. this is my passion and they will come back.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;well i don&amp;#39;t like this one... i like forced myself to write it... i don&amp;#39;t like doing that because its never as good as the idea could be...&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;but here ya go. sorry i haven&amp;#39;t posted in a while, and sorry my newest post isn&amp;#39;t too good. &lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;STORMS&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I take a look at the people around me,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;at the storms clouding this society.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;It&amp;#39;s amazing how much rain falls over the people of this town.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;For some its just little sprinkles,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;no danger, minimum pain.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;For others it&amp;#39;s lightning, thunder,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and hard, pounding rain,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;generally leading to hard pounding tears.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;For others still,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;its a constant tornado,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;with constant fear,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;and a never ending siren.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;I see the dark clouds hovering over the citizens of this clouded city.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some try to hide them,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;covering them with obviously fake smiles and laughter.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some make them darker than they really are.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;But some smile honestly,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;for they have found the paper thin silver lining.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;&lt;del&gt;like i said. i don&amp;#39;t like it. comment if u wish but I&amp;#39;m not too worried about this one.&lt;/del&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

            <description>    &lt;p&gt;You and me, are not to be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our love forbidden, like Romeo and Juliette.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My parents just don&amp;#39;t understand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They don&amp;#39;t see that my love for you,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;flies beyond just a teenage crush.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They don&amp;#39;t see that our love,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;our love is unconditional.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So&amp;#160;I sneak around, behind their backs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What they don&amp;#39;t know wont hurt &amp;#39;em.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But what&amp;#160;I didn&amp;#39;t know,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;was that it might hurt me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The weeks turned into months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I said no, but you said they are all doing it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You whispered in my ear,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you wouldn&amp;#39;t love me anymore if&amp;#160;I didnt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I said your love must not be true,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;took a couple steps back, but you pulled me close.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You said you wouldnt hurt me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you lied.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I refused, but my refusals had no effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over and over and over again,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you took me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I tried to fight it, but your strength overwhelmed me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pain, not only of the sex, but of hiding it from everyone,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;was unbarable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You said if&amp;#160;I told a soul, you&amp;#39;d kill me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I thought you loved me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How could you do this?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess it&amp;#39;s true, a stiff dick really has no concience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My parents were right,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you were just trouble.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ts been months now,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;since you were put in jail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still have nightmares,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am still plagued by the fears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Never again, will I be the same.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most would say it&amp;#39;s YOUR fault.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;well, most would lie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fault is no one&amp;#39;s but mine.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;
