Touch my body
Writing’s my feel
Take a good look
Close, and then seal

I just want
To not ***** up
Give me a pen
Achievements, yep

Touch my soul
Writing feels good
Pen and paper
Nothing else could

People say
I should get a life
Writing is it
No need for a wife

Writing this poem
Anytime that I want
I can do this
All day or all night

Touch my heart
Writing is sharp
Sharper than a knife
Man, words cut hard

Actions speak
Louder than words
But if you write a letter
Those actions are words

Touch my life
Writing you have
I feel good
Ay, thanks for that

I was down
But now I’m up
I feel like I could smile
Hell, I’ma take a trip

Find a pet or
I don’t know
Just as long as I’m writing
My life will grow

Touch my body
Writing’s my feel
Take a good look
Close, and then seal

So don’t worry, babe
Everything’s gonna be A-okay
The pain will fade
Keep looking forward to another day
Nothing to fear, nothing to hate
Your heart is mine
I’ll keep you safe

I was a janitor
You, a nurse practitioner
I worked from nine to five
To keep you by my side

Then you got up and left
Was it something I said?
I’ll admit that I was wrong
If you’ll just come back, love

So I’ll be sweeping here
While fighting back these tears
Just keep doing my job
And not think about lost love

Love,
Open your eyes and look up to the sky
Draw your finger across the night
Connect the dots one by one
Picture the images you see
Love,
Look at me
I don't need to paint the night
Cause all I need is in front of me
Your eyes sparkle as twilight
Gorgeous and bright
All I need is you Love
Because when I see you
Your the only star I see

Darling,
You own the galaxy ❤

Reaching out, into the sky
If you say the sky’s the limit, then I’d say you’re right
Life gives you chances at every door
How we’re gonna use them is the chore
If you wanna achieve, then you better believe
Just make sure that you don’t concede

You start to feel down, you start to feel low
But I’m telling you now, don’t tell yourself no
Just dig in your soul, and find your goal
Eventually your passion will surely show
Just start something, make it function
Anything can happen in your imagination junction
Keep your head held high, and use a smile
Life may be hard, but you can stand the trial

Reaching out, into the sky
Chase your dreams, and never let them die
Just do your best, and you’ll succeed
Determination is all you need
Don’t lose hope, don’t give up
Just let motivation fill your cup
My first poem I ever wrote.  It got second place in a community poetry project, so I figured you guys could appreciate it as well.

Sitting
In a porch swing
I watch a bird fly off from its nest
It’s peaceful
