The below is an excerpt from my book entitled, Beginning of Life- Hearfelt Poetry. See the below form of colloquialism expressed through my poetry. The Dance is an internal conversation I had with myself and it expresses my thoughts I have had in which inspired me to write the below poems. "The Dance" I'll take the blame, I though to myself. I wasn't going to blame those men in my life for the choices I've made. I wasn't going to let my insecurities with men take over my perceptions of life. I knew that I was a giver and that I loved to care for people. My love was truly unconditional. I chose to believe in these men, even when they didn't believe in themselves. I felt that with a little bit of encouragement they would get back on their feet, but for some reason I never received their support and appreciation in return. So that's why I decided to take the blame because I know I'm worthy of true love. p. 69
FOLLOW ME How dare you say? I won't make it How could you possibly think? I'm nothing without you Those words aren't very reassuring, but nevertheless Follow Me I though it was love and you had my back Always your way or nothing at all, but I loved you and I stood by your side Follow Me One morning I woke up and thought Why am I so unhappy? If he is everything to me and he loves me Why does it still hurt inside these warm chambers of love? Follow Me Then the lights started to sparkle and shine A reflection came into my mind Who am I following? Because if I was following me and what I deserved I wouldn't be feeling such pain that hurts That's when I decided I must believe in the unseen So I WILL FOLLOW HE p.30 COFFEE HOUSE See the steam rising from the hot cup The relaxing mood and the mellow touch Some collective thoughts that will keep you entertained Thinking change is something that doesn't remain the same Sitting back staring at the sky I see blue and white clouds sitting above While misty rain falls from the sky Time to reflect on the moves you've made The ups and downs of moments you can't explain Reading a book that appears to never end Always trying to make the right moves So you won't repeat them again Then one day you looked up Thought... Where am I? What is it that I have to prove? I respond nothing Just keep on moving to the next step And let your light shine through p. 53 Copyright(c)2003 Chanetta D. McNeal��

Hi Chanetta,
This is a good start to a short story. Is there more? Not being a poet I don't know anything about Heartfelt Poetry. To be honest I don't know anything about poetry. It's a nice little write. two typos Best Wishes from Joyce
