Didn't want a battle,
Yet you declared war,
Each knock you gave me
Made me stronger than before,
I will not give up,
I will not give in,
You won't make me fall,
I won't let you win.
A short poem may be a stylistic choice or it may be that you have said what you intended to say in a more concise way. Either way, they differ stylistically from a long poem in that there tends to be more care in word choice. Since there are fewer words people tend to spend more time on choosing a word that fits the subject to perfection. Because of this meticulous attitude, writing a short poem is often more tedious than writing a long poem.

The crow flies
People die
Souls are lost
Tears dry
Love fades
Blood stops dripping
The sun sets
Flowers turn to dust
People turn to stone
The crow freezes And life ..........
A bit too short, sorry

We fear death, the unknown.
Death fears us, the unknowable.
We fear death's necessity.
Death fears our Divinity.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all,

Love is not a thing to understand.
Love is not a thing to feel.
Love is not a thing to give and receive.
Love is a thing only to become
And eternally be.

I've been trying to write this poem for days,
I pick up the pen and it just feels
lifeless ...
unlike what lives inside my heart.
so
I sing soft whispers to the wind
hoping it would take me to you..
 
 

 
My head used to spin
trying to figure out my purpose,
why I'm here,
where I belong;
asking questions to gods
 

 
 I never believed in soul mates,
 now you have me seeing
things I never knew existed:
 
Paradise
in your eyes,
home
in your arms.
You gave me the inner peace I've been struggling to find,
I guess this is what it means
to know life in every breath.

 
So tell me do you hear it too,
how our hearts beat as if one...
because you have this poet stuttering,
almost speechless,
breaking down with joy,
and every single tear
is a word I don't know how to say.
Feel free to give constructive criticism, keep in mind I'm dyslexic and English is my second language. My point being, English is a difficult language to grasp, give me a sense of direction in your comments how to go about making this better. Not just this poem is cliche, that doesn't help much but if it gives you satisfaction go for it.

Being Christian wasn't easy
Between the religion discrimination
We are strong to resist
Tough when figthing aganist temptaion
This is what being Christian means

God bless you all who believe Him
Even when everyone resist
We knew God will protect us
All we have to do is believe

At the end everyone will see
Heavens will come to everyone who believe in God
80 percent people in my country is Islam, 20 percent Christian, Chatolic and others. Inspired by Jesus from the past, I know I have to strong to get trough this, even in Christian school, half of student were Islam. But I know God will set me free from this religion discriminaton
