31/M/Gloucester Hi my name is Liam and I'm new to poetry. After sustaining a brain injury in April 2017, I have struggled to adapt to life. I find writing poetry helpful, so I thought I would join here to learn how it's done.
The solitary lion, was born without a roar As he never knew, he was missing one He roamed alone, so he could learn to explore But he just kept searching, for another one. He felt alone, like he was missing a home So he did what he could, too have some fun A prisoner of thought, alone they were sewn So his imagination, had the freedom to run. Then one day, he hears the lion's sound It was the sound of the start, it had begun So of he goes, pounding the ground He knows what's missing, he must tell everyone. He had never known, what now he knows So he could experience a life, of not needing one But now he Knows, his honesty shows As he believes the world, is in need of one.

A lion
I lie here alone, to let my imagination wander I see my thoughts sewn, there power is like thunder The pain I was hiding, from the trauma I had suffered So I leave it all behind, so the truth can be discovered. I waited for a reason, at a door without a key I endured the many seasons, when there was nothing left of me I suppressed, and then reassessed my feelings So I could make some sense, of this reality Then I guessed, and I obsessed with the meaning Of what it truly means, to be free. The waiting gave me my answer, of what lay behind that door I could hear the sound of laughter, and I felt the lions roar I saw a beautiful dancer, and I could smell the sea by the shore The victor will be a chancer, who is clearly self-assured. So now I walk around smiling, there is such a place within me Finally, I can stop fighting, the truth was always the key The reasons I just kept writing, I fell in love with my poetry My words became exciting, they were my remedy As my passion continued rising, to align with destiny.

The key within me.
A sunflower Amongst roses The sunlight in the red Beauty as it poses The warrior As he bled A uniqueness Amogst many Its Silence in the storm The zero in twenty It's love But pure form The words Amongst letters As if no longer there Its wings Beyond feathers It's a lion Allowed to be scared

A sunflower
An unpredictable mind Forever guessing The matrix Redesigned Where insanity Is A blessing The shadow In the darkness A green In the blue The soft In the harshness A mystery Without clue The hope In the hopeless An individual As a team The road Forever roadless My reality As a dream

Insanity
To trust without question Beyond doubt without view A bond through expression Known to all but a few A love without thought As if to one frequency A battle never fought As morals rest peacefully Comfort within knowing Support is always there To know without slowing The dream in a nightmare

Trust
Obstacles promote growth With a need to change Success is an oath Always within your range Your mind plays promise To logic within reason The heart forever honest As the brain pleads treason Follow your heart And the truth becomes clear The balance is an art As failure Is the minds greatest fear

Brain vs heart
Love is independence To all but as one Self love as dependent On everyone but none Freedom as a choice To fly but alone Attached to a voice But only to their own Let go of the finished To be begin at the start Negativity diminished To open your heart A mission to help Our purpose to serve Together as one Help those that deserve A uniqueness amongst many Its Silence in the storm The zero in twenty It's love but pure form Driven to the edge To find only more Unaware of the pledge To miss but to score A guess in the question The path but unseen A mind of expression The bridge inbetween To know only tolerance To go but to stop The answer in ignorance To jump but to flop A child of innocence The cold to their hot To notice the difference To guess but to not Pushing the boundaries To the point they appear Exercising the options Dressed in passion Without fear The cause the direction As the purpose becomes clear Conceive through connection The soul Of the sphere The lesson to grow As to be as but one Our seed but to sow As individuals But none

ONE LOVE
The standards of evolution Resepected within verse The toxins of pollution Progress in reverse To learn to forget In the world of plenty To fish without a net The zero in twenty Conscious but changing An investment in youth Fresh but rearranging Impartial to truth

Evolution
The future remapped As if it existed A solution untapped The prophecy unlisted A time of togetherness The stars as but one Love is measureless In a victory already won The war that wasn't In a psyche unseen The fit that doesn't In the existing regime

The regime
The illusion of the mind An end to the infinity Our purpose defined Lies without divinity Belief in the forgotten A ghost that still lives Silk disguised as cotton As a God that only gives Trust in your worth Together we are capable To our God and the earth United We are unbreakable
