I use to be the king of the world.
But now I’m just a tiny speck in the universe.

I use to know everything.
But now I realize I know nothing.

I use to let others make my decisions.
But now I only trust my heart.

I use to have many friends.
But now I don’t know

I use to know who I was.
But now I’m on a journey to find myself.


I wrote this poem for my English class. It is my first poem ever. Please tell me what you think.

(big hugggsssssss) See...that's where you were derailed, you let others make your decisions when the most important thing is to believe in yourself, now follow that golden heart of yours and embrace the promisedland! This is a marvelous debut, sweet friend, this comes to show you have been talented from the statt, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Brandon, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely words, sweet friend, we all love you so much, and be sure to check your E-mail for a very special greeting from all of us here at Passions just for you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Brandon, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Noah Eaton

English Class, hey?  Philosophy class, as well.  These are the questions we are continually riddled with, from about your age, until the day we're no longer around to hear ourselves ask the very same thing.  Therefore, this is one of those "eternal" poems, that will be around forever...

Welcome to Passions!  I'm sure you're going to enjoy it here!
