Poetry

Okay- heres an attempt at poetry. Whenever I read other people's poetry I always think it sucks.. so it makes me very nervous to write poetry. This may be why I absolutely never do it. However, today, I was feeling somewhat frisky in class and decided to try my hand at it... let me know what you think.




A hardened heart that won’t give in
With a Selfish streak and No reason to bend

An Arrogance so soft and sweet,
No room for you to be my defeat.

Then a sweeping look- an elitist grin-
A flash of hope… the end begins.

My response is so deep, buried in pride
A symbol of fear, a heart that’s denied.

Its Such a shame, to fall this way,
If I must go down, then why be cliché?

Away with tradition, I’m done with the chains
I’ll give you life- relieve and cause pain.

A torn shirt with nails, buried deep in your back
I’m your passion, your prayer, your hope, intact.

The walls have come down, I’m yours to be claimed..
Truthfully, lovingly- Bodies inflamed.
