written in my teens


Poem Artwork

Ironic

It’s over!
In some ironic sense ..
That I always knew would happen.
It’s over!
Love and family
Always reaching for family..
Even in halves
Desperate for acceptances..
in everything I do.
Misconceptions and misunderstandings
Straining and rebelling
This is my way.
Either way is wrong.
Here I am!!
Trying to be heard
But unable to scream.
No one to listen.
Please I say ..
With open arms
Always smiling, hoping, believing
That we could start a bond.
Praying to God
It is not to late.
But knowing..
Feeling deep inside..
It’s late
The wall will always threaten refuse and taunt…
Can we over come?
For dreams sake I try..
Secretly swallowing pity and confusion
Except, forgive ..
No questions.
This I do for you.

Erica, Teenage is such that we all felt the same way. May be we know better now. Not depending on anyone is the best way to live you know.

Be on your own, Live your life your way. Let them accept you as you are

You sure knew how to write even then Girl!!!

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
