PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today now, I am me

I am everything I was meant to be

Heartfelt and strong

Working hard all the day long

I was never meant to bleed



Unlike most, I know the way

I've seen the troubles that come each day

I know the words that are spoken with fear

I've drivin those roads, year after year



Unfortunate circumstances have once overcome me

I fight them all and still I don't bleed

I know the truth that lies within

It all comes from a Bible once written in pen



I know my talents and I express them the best I can

I help out others by doing my job as a fellow Christian man

Playing drums is how I change this world

Spreading goodness to all the boys and girls



Tonight I pray for this world now to be saved

I hope to God that the wickedness will be inwardly caved

I believe it true, that we have yet to do what we can do

I believe in my God, that he saved me and he will save you



Love comes easy, as some may say

For me it was hard, but He was there along the way

My parents grew up with me, they really had no clue

About the pains in my life and the crap I go through



I cannot blame them, for it was me who held back

I will admit that they were always there to get me back on track

I have always tried my best to figure out what to do

My friends were always there to help me through



I still remember Elementary, way back when

I was a little cub scout without many friends

I'd fight with all the boys and I'd flirt with all the girls

I can still see the spinning playground going around in a whirle



I grew up a little rowdy, and had a temper so high

Once I moved twice, I got a little shy

I met some friends, and several of them I will keep to the end

I thought some girls broke my heart, but I know now that broken hearts still mend



I've always learned the hard way when it comes to my life

Unfortuantely for me for every pleasure there was strife

I guess that learning is still learning no matter how it is learned

As long as you learn what you need, it will be hard to be trice burned



When I graduate this place, I do indeed have lots of plans

I want to graduate from college, get a job, and become a man

I see myself having a perfect family with all the perfect kids

I want to get the perfect job, the one I love, and start making some huge bids...



On a place to call my own

A place for my family to call our home

I want a house out on a farm

A place where horses would do no harm



This is my life, my hopes, and my dreams

I portray to you right now my everything

I will never let the bad times bring me down

I'll always be my king, and I'll always wear my crown



Though some people think these dreams are a bit childish, they say

I will never let my childhood dreams simply fade away

I need a drive, a modevation, something to call my own

I want a love in my life to make me happy when I am all grown



Looking way back to when I lived in Des Moines,

I loved to play with all my friends, but was posesive of my toys

I loved riding my bike all the way up and down the block

My asthma would always act up and my life would be a race agaisnt the clock



Over my middle school years, for me there was lots of change

Friends would come and go, girls came into play, and every relationship would rearrange

Rumors would be spread, that would make me feel dead

While everyone was looking back, I was always looking ahead



Here I am in high school now,

With everyone trying to fit in somehow

Senior pranks with Gerbils in the hall

How everyone knew, I'm not sure, but I know this world can be so small



I have never been one of those people in the popular crowd

You know, the ones who play sports and scream and shout so loud

I do not mind though, and I feel no lack

I will always be the one running the soundboard in the back



I am just starting my first job, and it wasn’t easy at all

Making a little money to have a soft landing when I fall

I drive a Dodge Caravan, appropriately nicknamed the “Death Mobile”

Now I plan on using this new money to buy some myself some brand new wheels



I am happy the way I am, I must say

I wake up with a smile on my face each and every day

This life that God gave to me is blessed

As for my future, I'll keep to my dreams and let time do the rest
