20/M/Howell,Mi Just started poetry and I usually only do abab stanzas because I like to rhyme.
If I am a sailor then you are my sea. Not because you carry me, but because you are the place where all my wandering finally makes sense. I have known quiet harbors and loud storms, maps that promised certainty and nights that refused it. Yet every compass I’ve ever held tilts toward you like it remembers something I’m still learning to say. I don’t cross you to arrive somewhere else. I stay because motion feels like peace when it’s within you. Ships search for land. I searched for home. And somehow home was not a shore waiting ahead, but the water itself holding me gently even when the world is rough. So if I am a sailor, you are my sea. Not where I travel but where I belong.

We started as friends Who'd help each other to any end Then we became closer And now we're best friends I'm sure

To Being Friends
I sit and lose myself in good memories Hidden away are the ones that are better forgotten Some are filled with good feelings and are used as remedies Make memories throughout your life but treasure the ones you've already gotten

I can't sleep and i dont know why The forest is dark and the world is quiet All there is to do is lie in bed and sigh I wish to get more sleep but my body remains defiant

To The Fallen
We live We love We cry Then it comes back and continues in that circle.

Everything has a meaning Whether it's obvious or hidden you find meaning by searching the world and yourself for why you are there The meanings of some things are so small that they are often overlooked If you can't or refuse to find meaning in your life then your world will be quite bare

Time is what we need but don't have If we had it we could use it to save ourselves But it's a dangerous world and one wrong step and our lives get halved Take you time for granted and use it to delve into yourselves

The world is crazy When we finally believe everything is fine something happens and a bomb goes off and upsets our small set of peace
