A glowing red light In cloud of confusion and remorse Leads me far from where I've been And heart, soul, and mind rejoice. Revelation overwhelms me - I learn that I am flesh and bone. No longer do I cringe from harsh words. No longer do I bear a heart of stone. Eternal youth and spirit protects me From all that will do me harm. Why hang my head in sadness, When I can embrace bliss in these arms? Belittle that which you don't understand - These beautiful essences that you don't know. Karma is far from kind To those who slither so low. (written for my creative writing class. there are alot of 'preps' in there that get off on making fun of other people, and back in the day, they had their fair share of getting me down. this is a kind of 'haha.. i'm stronger so you can't hurt me anymore!' poem to them. )
Loved hearing of your lessons learned. Very centered and vibrant in its strength... yet open and clear.
WOW that was really good....I liked it! I know what you mean by having 'preps' in your class that make fun of people...and it's weird cause they usually are making fun of really creative and nice people...it's crazy. But hey GREAT poem!
Thanks guys. I'm glad you enjoyed this. When I first started really writing poetry, alot of it was inspired by depression. Its good to write something that isn't morbid and sad.
hmmm that's cool i like verses these days but not in that poem but i dont think you ould actually write it any differently
