ive never shared my poems before / all of my poems are unedited / constructive criticism would be highly appreciated
FINALLY I've made it As I throw my fist in the air And show the world my widest smile I rejoice with everything in me For I, have finally made it I let out the deep sigh That I've been holding in Since I crossed the starting line I stand still, I stand firm And I stand tall For I, Joshua Humphries, have finally made it No more looking back The point of destination has been reached Didn't think I would make it People threw knives And words that cut me deep But I went past the forks in the road And with my head held high I went straight For I, Josh Humphries The one that even doubted himself, Has finally made it I traveled far, And FINALLY, After all the beams of sweat fell from my forehead, And continued down to my eyes I admit At first, I couldn't tell if they were showers of sweat or tears BUT WHATEVER THEY WERE, I pulled them away from my blinded eyes And after rowing down my own streams For I, Have found love For I am content, I need no more than what I have All I need now is you to be in your presence The one that fills my cup, And seems to always overflow It's the one that always gives And gives more than I need It's the one that looks at a shattered boy, And has the time to piece me, Back together, but better The one that greets me in the morning The one that makes me stand taller The one that makes me run farther Streams, nor serpents, nor words Can stop this, I used to be infatuated with The clothes, But because of you, The things that fuel and motivate me Are seeing you, making goals, And having dreams to focus on I pray that someday in the future My best friend will never become my enemy I give you all of me, Because it's all I can offer As I'm here reciting this to you I might be stumbling on my words, **** I do stumble on my words a lotIt only happens when I speak from the heart, Just know that you're one of the best things To happen to me in my young life So as I give the world my widest smile And throw my fist in the air, I give you the other one And rejoice, As I can finally say, I made it, I found, love

sometimes it feels like I'm under the influence when I kiss her. where am I? i lose track of time when we talk. about nothing of course. the intelligent conversation is good, but we're practical souls. when it's just her and I, I don't know where I am. i enter a world of joy, love, and satisfaction. no need to buy drugs when her lips are my supply. i'm under the influence. may our young, careful souls soar high. and may a cloud catch us if we fall. sky surfing, our love.

high
You, You have the power, To form the widest, And most sophisticated of galaxies In my heart Meanwhile, your touch, Is like a black hole That lurks in me, Causing every feeling of fear, And doubt to disappear Leaving me would be impossible My heart will literally be empty Like a sheet of canvas, Waiting for its creator, And their muse in order to become, A piece of art, A piece of them, All of me, May my heart be your canvas, Fill it with life beyond where my eyes can see, And with stars that shine for eternity

you.
56 minutes after two My skies are 50 shades of gray In my feelings so deep, That you could probably paint A picture will all my blues

Keep close to me. Put your chest to mine so our hearts beat together in a sweet, synchronized symphony. Let's lock arms and let time escape like the honest feeling in my poetry. When others fall, I reassure you that we won't be affected by it. Because if you keep close to me then the only people that matter in this world is us. Yes, you, and I.

keep close to me.
There isn't a better view Than when the 6:00 sunset creeps Through the ruffled blinds of the windows And lands on one side of your face As you're watching television And laughing when something funny happens There isn't a better feeling Than when you're laying against my chest Tracing the line of my veins on my arm While I feel your heartbeat beat In a harmonious composition with mine There isn't a better sound in the world Than when you let out that small, Gentle, sweet laugh That warms me more than any Blanket could ever do

nothing better.
I wish I could tell you otherwise But I'm going down And the concrete has no competition When it comes to the oppression Pushing me down Soon I'll be past the grass, and the dirt And the roots Maybe I'll stop in the center of the Earth Where the heat is scorching To the point where my skin and bones Will shrivel, Putting an end to the force holding me down Or maybe I'll pass right by the center And continue to make my way through the Earth And popping out of the other end Floating through the lonely universe

down.
There is no blood in my body You run through these veins now And when you're gone I'm drained completely

blood.
It's been days Since I past spoke to you And maybe that's the reason Why I haven't written in so long Because if it's not you Then what is my muse You're all the love, hate, Peace and joy I know

muse.
I was told about days where I wouldn't feel love And that in fact I wouldn't feel anything And that not even the overwhelming Thought of life would bulge Any feeling into my body Does it make sense to say that Nothing is a feeling? I feel nothing.
