I am 15 years old and have been writing poems for about a year now. Unfotunately I no longer do so as I don't feel the need.. but there you go that's life. I often used to write them to tell people how I was feeling at the time. This way I never had say to anyone how I was feeling at the time. In the end my close friends on the internet got used to my style of writing and guessed what they meant every time. So did they become pointless..... maybe. I now continue to read other's poems and I learn a great deal from them. Poems are like magic they can take you on a journey inside someone's mind .....if written properly. Enough of me .... here a a few of my poems. I agree they are not good but then again is that the point. This is not stricly a poem but more of feelings but I feel it taught me alot about the world THOUGHT FOR THE DAY One day you will see that everything I do, I do for a reason and whatever the reason maybe you can never question it. As the only person who fully understands why I do things the way I do is me. Even if I explain to you what I am going through I can never explain fully the way I feel. So in some ways you are always left in the dark but never on purpose it is just the way it is. Everybody sees the world in different ways, different colours, different images of things. Some may see some things as important to them but others may just dismiss them, as they have no importance to the way their life is run. Everybody is different and although some days people may have the same point of view they will never agree on everything. I see things in a different way to you and the same goes for everybody else, even the smallest things like a bird on a wall. People may interpret as nothing or as something very important. These are the kinds of things I am talking about. You will never know what I am thinking you cannot even try to guess, you may be able to feel my moods but never what is really inside my head. The only person who knows how I feel at every moment is me and even I get confused sometimes ! Never try to get into my mind. It is one of the most guarded places in my body. The only way in is through me myself. You can do anything you want in your mind, all you have to do is have enough faith to believe that only you will ever know what you are thinking. So listen carefully to what I have to say, even if you are not interested. You may not agree with what I say but remember we are never going to agree as our minds are not the same. The best place to work things out is in your head. It is the only place where you can without anybody interpreting or judging you on the way you act. But if your head becomes too full with ideas then it is time to clear out some of the rubbish that may not be needed anymore. I know from experience that it is hard to let go, But do you really need those thoughts anymore? Or are you just keeping them so you will never forget? But don't worry they will never leave your mind completely. The best way to get rid of them is to write them down. As soon as the pen touches the paper all your thoughts run through your arm and onto the paper. You can end up writing for hours and hours and never find that solution to what you are thinking. Keep locking it is there somewhere and someday you will find it. You will feel a whole lot better. Keep the paper you write on and you can always look back at the bad times and believe me you will see that they were not really that bad. Never wake up in the morning feeling sad or angry. Remember, it is a new day and you can never predict what is going to happen, whether it is good or bad. Wake up every morning knowing that it is a new day and new things will happen to you and the people around you. This is how the world works and you can never try to change it. Always go into everything without any doubt in your mind that it will be of some use to you in the future. Everything you hear or see tells you something. When someone says something it will tell you something about that person. Whether you knew it or not. In one day you may learn lots of things which will be very useful to you some day. Other days you may learn nothing new, instead it will just make you certain of the things you do know. But never forget you have never learnt enough there is always room for more. Take every chance you have to do things as they can be taken away from you with no warning at all. Never forget the friends you have. They may be the most important thing in your life. Some people may go through difficult times. These times may last days, weeks or even years. You can never compare your problems to other people's. You may travel the world and meet new people. They will all be different. No two people are the same. In your mind you can dream up the most amazing things, anything you want at anytime you want. So don't worry, never stop thinking because someone tells you to. Your mind is one of the most powerful things you have. You can keep in it so many things. Memories of people, dreams of you future or maybe just everyday things. Without a mind and imagination you are not able to see the world in it's full glory. Thank you ever so much for listening Regards GEM X X X |

Hi Babe, It seems you have a lot to tell, and so it is very fortunate that you have stopped writing. Just because your friends got used to your style and could guess what you meant, doesn't mean that you should stop writing. Many times we write for others--- to make other feel great, or to share their happiness or sadness, or to preach love. So do continue writing. If you hadn't posted it here, I wouldn't have read it, and consequently wouldn't have learned what I have learned from you. Thanks for sharing your poem. And I hope you will start writing again. |
