where my heart is

Heart Necklaces

Look in the mirror, what can you see?
Imperfections, amongst all beauty.
Walking down the street, watching the crowd,
You don’t belong--hearts scream loud.

Where would we get if we all thought like them?
Would we care about each other more than to live?
Would we keep his picture in heart necklaces around our necks?
To hold close when we can’t hear his breath?

Can we even care more about loving and living than our appearance?
What would we be if eyes were for finding more than just sparkle and glitz?
Can we possibly bring life into focus with our culture screaming glamour?
What would we be if we looked the other way to believe in so much more?

Open your heart necklace, and what is it you find?
Pictures of tangible things you hide behind.
Are you able to clean it out, and glue on something worth remembering?
To pick what matters most in the life that YOU are living?
Not the latest, the newest, best thing on the block,
Can you find in your heart what’s always meant a lot?

Look in the mirror what do you see?
Perfection, amongst all beauty.
Walking down the street, smiling at the crowd,
God’s in my necklace, your heart screams loud.

i didn't really write this for the "poetry quality" but more for the statement i guess, but i hope SOME ONE enjoys it anyway. =)

there's more to living than being alive

WOW! This poem is great. It's true though also how people try to remember things not worth remembering. I love it.

I really like this poem, and I can relate. I'm glad that I found someone that feels the same way I do.
