I am living
Not yet dead

I am seeing
Not yet believing

I am hoping
Not yet wishing

I am wanting
Not yet needing

I am hating
Not yet loving

I am thinking
Not yet doing

I am special
Not yet worthless

The slightly altered repetition is cool. Nice job.

I love this poem, it says to much with so few words! the pattern makes your feelings so clear and focused, the poem requires just enough thought to make it memorable but not too much as to make it confusing, great job!

I really loved this! I agree with Sammiekay, it made me think of both sides of whatever I feel...I like "I am wanting, not yet needing" because sometimes you start off wanting something & then you just need it! Anyway, keep writing poetry! I really like your style of writing!

&quot;I do not agree with what you have to say, but I&#039;ll defend to the death your right to say it.&quot;<br /> ~Voltaire

I really like this poem, and being a grammar N.azi myself, I must inform lovelycheese, that she is, in fact, mistaken.  It is not necessary in stylized poetry to capitalize or not.  In many newspaper articles, you will see this type of capitalization used, and although I prefer all caps, both are perfectly viable.

&quot;Don&#039;t punish yourself,&quot; she heard her say again, but there would be punishment and pain, and there would be happiness too. That was writing.&quot;<br /> --Markus Zusak, &quot;The Book Thief&quot;

I like the ending part, "I am special Not yet worthless." I can connect to it somewhat, so I like it too. You don't have to capatalize the title (referring to lovelycheese's comments) if that is what you want to write it as.

&quot;If you have something to do, then do it. You can&#039;t get wasted time back.&quot; ~Ben Carson.

This is the first poem I've reviewed, so I'm not entirely an expert. 

As a picky grammar person, I immediately see the title ~ capitalize I Am Special. Haha sorry...

I very much like the pattern of the poem. However... the mood of the poem is slightly hazy to me. But it seems to make sense to you, and that's what the crucial part is. 

I'm not good at deciphering hidden messages, as in this one, but I can say that your tone is professional sounding, and I like it(; Great job ! :D
