PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I never had it my way, but I always made things
work,
catching feelings and emotions, now you know
that hurts.
So I pour my heart out through a P.O.E.M; a
'Personal Opinion Expressed Maturely', you think
know me, I would not have it any other way-
Nowadays 'free expression' may have consequences,
so many stay quiet, but not me...
you see this is nothing new to me, I LOVE THIS!
I write with the blood of my pen and the ink of my
heart...
When will the wars end? daily casualties are a new
trend, we cannot pretend we are not affected,
brave men and woman brainwashed, dying for our
freedom...
Have you heard the latest?
'gang affiliation and felonies' dropped from the
list to enlist...our troops are not safe with felons
and gangsters amongst them...that is pathetic!
Killers with bulletproof vest, I massacre words and
ideas, no disrespect, spilling the blood of my pen
and the ink of my heart upon these pages of life-
A young mother, a wife to be, now will be a single
mother, her man was a junkie...yesterday he O.D.
I knew a Valedictorian in High School, she was a dear
friend to me...behind her smile she hid her loneliness.
No one knew of her illness, the last conversation
we had, she told me I was becoming a man-
a week later I received the news, my friend killed
herself, she had cancer and did not want no one to
see her like a monster.
These are the feelings I cannot keep inside,
the blood of my pen will always spill, the ink of my
heart will never dry...but if what you hear is still not
to your interest, what can I say?
I really do not care!
Are you aware of your capabilities?
It seems to me, you may be confused, would not know
where to begin even with directions!
Pay attention, my dedication to the spoken word is a
token from above.
What is your potential?
never give up, never let your dream die, build your
credentials. A beautiful mind is essential, do not let
it go to waste-
taste the sweetness of your success, do not grow old
and bitter- even in the face of obscurity we must
glimmer.
Hold your own, be strong and bold!!
Express yourself, SHOUT if you have too...
if you MUST,
let the blood of your pen write,
and the ink of your heart flow freely.
