my own little world

Find me oh waves of spirit
caress me in song
music entrance me
in forever days of long
moon beams dance
dance in the midnight lake
that my teardrops have made

Fear release me
courage walk beside me
make me strong like the water
God grant me wisdom
make me a worthy daughter

when I open my eyes
I return to the world
in a clever disguise
fake disposition
weary accomplished tries
at a secret ambition
hope flies
rest upon existence
seek life
and forever never die

Love hurts as bad as it feels good.

I like this...I would try to find alternatives to this:

moon beams dance
dance in the midnight lake
that my teardrops have made

the whole moon beams dance thing with the midnight and the lakes is boring to me...If I had a dollar for every time I saw moon beams in a poem I would be rich. Dont go there, be creative, find another way to say this.

The third stanza of this is really beautiful. Its original and somewhat unexpected when compared with the rest of the poem...keep em coming
