Strength, my walk speaks pride, my presence states my Glorious tide, it is then I turn back only once to thank society. great lines. we have lots to thank socity for they teach us so much. *Purkey Girl*
Very nice poem. Bring forth a lot of emotions and what is true in life that people don't acknowledge enough.
Good poem, Ashley. Good to see you have good self esteem. It is an 8.
find it rude not to congratulate those who became the stepping-stones of my life those lines are striking. Please reas some of mine and give your openion
nice...... people can really see the inside of u but of course there are people who only say nice things just to be polite
...i do believe on the wisdom of 'the reality of illusion- the illusion of reality' meaning most of us are good at pleasing others just to be ok at least something possitive is sparking. yet to make it a reality let us say the truth with love to help others to see what and who really they are.... your poem is a piece of cake that i would say 'i have to taste it for me to know its flavor'. thanks
Yes, sod them all, their insecurities fuel our self esteem, Have a look at my 'To die or not to Die'.Similar rage against ignorance.
Its true..what you say. But sometimes it may be the opposite too, which is not so pleasant.
Ashley, You have great depth and understanding and that is two ingredients necessary for writing meaningful poetry. Poetry does not have to conjure up beautiful images but it definitely has to MEAN something and most importantly it has to say something that touches someone. Even if it is only yourself. If it was something you just had to write or die trying. I liked your poem and I believe you have talent and should never stop writing. My regards Susan
Eyes of strength and heart of fire. I can sympathize with this one very much. Makes me want to write a poem on where my smirk came from. Well done, keep 'em coming!
