A Thousand Words

This week I'm going to do something a little different. There are certain things that just click with me and I guess poetry is one of those things. Whenever I write poetry, it gives me a sense of pride. I feel as if I was a mother letting my child into the world for the first time and having so much joy for that little bundle of joy. It’s another way I can get my thoughts out. It allows me to say and do whatever I want. It doesn't bother me that sometimes I might get stuck. It actually makes me want to write even more.

So let’s get back to what this blog post is about. This week I had an English assignment and it was to create a poem about a certain topic. The topic I picked was “The pains of growing up” and I created a poem about that topic and here it is.

Dark Sky’s

In the past things were kind of easy

Like flying I could do it whenever I wanted

I’d just jump of the highest building in New York and I’d be up, up and away

Up in the Dark Sky’s

Too dark to show who I really was and who I wanted to be

Who was I?

The Skies were so dark I was lost ─ I don’t think of flying anymore

It’s not my fault

They say “With age come maturity”

And with maturity comes no more flying

Only if they knew that at night I still flew

They wouldn’t change me ─ I wouldn’t let them

I flew so high up into the sky that I was gone

Gone from age and maturity and all of the thing

that were going to try to stop me─ from flying

If you wanted I could teach you how to fly

You could fly with me

So when were up In the Dark Sky’s ─ we could help each other out of them

I wouldn’t have to fly alone

We could be side by side

And the Dark Sky’s

Would have to deal with two

What things do you do open up to the world?
What do you do for most of your free time that leaves you at ease?
