I admit that this isn't poetically captivating, but, it is still from the heart and I wanted to enter this belated challenge as soon as I could  ~I AM~ I am a person, a woman who longs to find peace within I wonder if I have made a difference in a world full of hatred and sorrow I hear God's encouraging words whisper in the wind when my heart is weary I see all the beauties of the universe sparkle in the eyes of an innocent child I want to taste the sweet bliss of being a teacher, to inspire young minds to greatness I am a person, a woman who longs to find peace within I pretend that I am happy and fulfilled with the mask that I wear I feel that with love anything is possible I touch the stars with my soul whenever I make someone laugh I worry far too much, for, Virgos are known worriers afterall I cry for the person that I was, a scared little girl, lonely and abused I am a person, a woman who longs to find peace within I understand that in order for anyone to love me, I must first love and respect myself I say that compassion grows in the hearts of every person, you just have to discover it's light I dream that one day I will find happiness and a home to belong to I try to be the best person that I can possibly be I hope that one day, I shall find my soulmate and bask in true love forever I am a person, a woman who longs to find peace within *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |

Excellent Melissa. . . You have done well with this one. . .it's hard to write something like this that reveals so much about you isn't it?? This is a wonderful poem and gives us so much more insight into you. . . wonderful!! ------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Melissa, though belated, I do thank you for not only answering the challenge, but also for sharing a small facet of your personality behind the name. You aspire to much, and I truly hope you find that for which you seek. Alicat |

Hi there, Melissa, i have found some similarities among us....well, I am a Virgo too(30/8/80)(though people say that i am the most indifferent person they have ever met) and i have signed up to be a teacher(doing something worthwhile with my life...HA!) and will be holding the reins a few years' time... i must thank you for sharing(though im sorry to hear of your past)..it seems to break down some barriers between the impersonal words here  btw,i have written a Singapore Acrostic...perhaps u will like to read |
