Kissed her gently as my tears flowed
I** prayed that my childishness I'll outgrow
My life will never be the same
But it is not a crying shame
Ever in her heart I pray I'll always be
Raising her will be a joy to me
Lord I pray that she will always listen
Yet her freedom I will never imprison

I will always be her protector
So woe be to anyone who hurts her
I will never forgive that churl
She is my baby girl
My first attempt at an acrostic poem. It's about my daughter when I first held her in my arms. Constructive feedback and comments are welcome. :) Thank you for reading.

Is it you I love?
Or is it the idea
Of being the loved?

The Girl Who Loves You
Tell me something about you
Something nobody else knows
Show some truths
Reveal to me your soul
Don't make it too obvious
Hide your secrets within ink
Not too long and not too short
But make me think
Make me guess
Help me to understand
Write out your dark confessions
And I'll be your biggest fan
Write a poem more than 5 lines but less than 20 revealing something about yourself that no one else knows, but don't say it exactly.  This might be tricky but  I got faith y'all can do it.  Tag it with #secretconfessions so I can  find  it. Thx.

This is my secret confession
Where I lived a life of deception
Blinded as I was I chose not to see
That all I was courting was just pure controversy

You see I thought that I could juggle both fire and ice
When all I was balancing were just lies
They say I can't have my cake and eat it too
Greedy as I was I chose not to listen even if it was true

In the end I juggled both up high into the sky
Where they disappeared without a goodbye
Now I sit here all alone
All alone with my bag of methadone
This happened a very very long time ago. I was young and so full of myself. Hopefully I'm older and wiser. For the secret confession challenge.

Friends shouldn't be afraid
to be themselves in fear of being judged or abandoned.
Most of my friends,
I'm afraid I'm on the verge of loosing.

Either if it was a dumb mistake
or something I've done wrong; they'd make me sorry.
But I know,
I won't loose you.

I know I have a friend,
who I can be open with and be someone I am really.
I can tear off the mask,
and never press delete.

Miles apart and hours behind,
it seems like it was never meant to happen.
But we took control of our own fates,
and pushed our lives together either way.

You know I love you,
and I know you love me.
So why is it so strange to me
to finally have someone who won't judge me.
