It is so odd to see you revert back to capitalizing the first letter of each line... odd indeed. What's up Booger? You know... I was a bit lost with this one. There is power in it, a sense of "I don't give a fuck what you do, this is me" bit the point you are making is perhaps too personal, or maybe I know you too well to see the bigger picture. Regardless I always enjoy reading your work, there is conviction in your words and it is always powerful. Sometimes it is a bit like being a child reading a novel far beyond my years... but all the same I get the feeling and understand how powerful it is.

Re: Like the child, ten feet behind
This might be your best ever - the title is really cryptic and powerful. It's more controlled and polished than some of your stuff (that's not a criticism; in your case, you do "raw" very well!

Re: Like the child, ten feet behind
Hmmm...I quite like this, though it's a bit unconventional. You're just sort of plopping down whatever is on your mind into this poem and I, at least, got out of it that you're saying "this is art. Prove me wrong." Love the idea, the convoluted metaphor, everything, really. Very well done.

Re: Like the child, ten feet behind
I agree with Fire and everyone else who posted here. Wonderful poem, Chris. It's incredibly powerful. Er... why is it in the amateur section? It's pretty good, and in my opinion deserves to be under the advanced section.
