What makes poetry poetry?
One poet who is poetry to me within herself says a group of words.
Coming from her I start to understand
But does it have to Rhyme?
Does it have to be deep?
I guess it just has to be an expression from the heart created by the mind
Whether no one can relate or everyone can feel the same as long as its true to one heart, to me it counts as this wonderful art.
Just a way to let it all out
Put it on paper , whisper it or shout

Wondering if this feeling will ever go away
The feeling that drives me but the feeling that is my worst enemy
Hating the circumstance I'm in but knowing it could be worse
I'm grateful but I'm angry, angry I haven't made it to where I promised myself
Too much time has passed to still be where I am
Will I ever Succeed? This shouldn't even be a question.
I have to
I have no choice
This can't last forever

Be grateful for the life you live,
your pain is another persons prayer

This one monster that scares me daily is the same monster that motivates me
I wish I could stop it
I would, if I knew how to control it
The way it terrorizes me when I'm most vulnerable makes me feel hopeless
I wanna **** this monster because I'm scared of what it will do to those I care about the most
This monster is different than most monsters
It doesn't hide in the shadows and it will come out in the day as much as it will come out in the night
It is the one monster I can't hide from
For under the covers is where it wants me to go because that's the easiest place to get me
The worst thing about this monster is that it knows everything about me.
This monster is the burning anger inside me

I just want to be great
To show the world anyone can do it
This burning desire to go above and beyond
To bring hope to those that misplaced it
There's more to me than what I learn in school and a big smile
I'm cool and all but I am also wise,
Not the wisest but wise enough to know this
My biggest fear is living average, being ordinary and living the same as some of those with my last name
I want to hear more thank yous and I can't believe it because there's nothing else for them to do but thank me and see it so they believe it
I know I can do it, it has been the plan since I was a child
So this is the day I become greater, just watch
I'll make it worth your while

I am the only one that controls this body I am in
It is I that feeds my spirit and my mind within
I am am a canvas being worked on day in and day out,
waiting to see what is created.
I am getting closer to myself the more that I listen to voice in me
I challenge myself to do whats best for the me in me
I could have been anyone else but somehow, the miracle of it all is
I am Me and always wll be

Who am I to hurt such a lovely soul?
To have the chance to make you feel whole
Like when we would walk and talk for hours in the cold
You would go home and think of me and I would be thinking why,
Why did you feel the way you felt about me,
When I barely felt that way about myself?
You didn't know you was falling for someone that was so perfectly imperfect
What I did to you was wrong
Making you feel warm and safe, like I can take all your worry away
Just to be the one thing you would worry about today
My head goes down when you are around
I can't stand looking at you because that smile turns to a frown
One day I want to be what you saw in me
But sometimes I wish you would forget about me and your heart can be free
