The world has gone on so fast.
People quickly going in and out of my life.
Never really knowing any of them.
While none of them even knowing me.
But that doesn't matter now.
I don't even matter.
If this is how life will always be,
It's just way too fast for me.

For once can i slow down the hands of time.
Let me enjoy more everyday than before.
Let me expericnce more in my lifetime.
Let me feel what it's like to live.
Let me see how I can be when set free.
Just for one moment in my life,
Let me be me.

Poetry is not just words on paper that may rhyme, but words that are from your heart expressing yourself for others to see from your eyes.

But His word was in my heart
like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding back,
And I could not.

That was a very heart-breaking poem... well it was for me. Great emotion was what I caught from this poem. I've been there, and the days never ever slow down... when they start slowing down, that's when it becomes boring.
Keep writing!

I need more time to find the real me...
to fly like the birds... to be set free.

This is a great poem! The message is awesome... there are so many people who go through life never asking the question "Let me be me?" And end up miserable. Thanks for sharing this poem with us! This is something I think everyone should read. In the first stanza, I read the line, "I don't even matter." I hope you know that's not true... everyone is someone to somebody. The second stanza really made me smile... realizing all this will get you far. Nice work! I thoroughly enjoyed this, and look forward to reading more.. soon, I hope

We all wish for that. More often we are the greatest obstacle on achieving this. Very good piece!

I enjoyed this one. I liked the way it was written.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
