[hometext] => I guess this is about my life. It is free verse... my first posted free verse poem, so any comments will be soo appreciated. Hopefully... it is alright.
[bodytext] => I am from the brick that fell out of the wall (Dead, heavy It damaged like my family) I am from the crab apple tree Whose fruit held my happiness Whose fruit held my hope Whose fruit held my safety As if it knew I needed for future day I am from the mirror that reflected hell Which also showed why my life could perish It showed guns It showed drugs It showed me And it showed a pedophile I am from the stairs Which holds the weight of my silent screams And my endless, hopeless tears It held the people who “rescued” me And it still holds the reasons why I couldn’t be rescued I am now part of another family Who is still apart of drugs But lacks violence and offenders I am part of a feeling A feeling of not belonging Which tears me into pieces It leaves me screaming for my old life I go back to my crab apple tree My one place that I was ever free I take a bite of an apple It releases the smiles that I thought I’d lost I feel like I must rebel from my sadness I am from lessons I am from a life Which wanted to make me into one way A depressed, untrusting, lost, unlucky girl But I am also from eternal heart Something that was there before I had life And something that is more powerful than hate It has helped me become who I am now An independent, strong, worldly, aware, lucky girl It took me a while I am finally here I will let nothing destroy me I am forever alive Though horrors stuck my soul I fought them off with my strong heart And all that I came from doesn’t matter Because I will always have my heart to follow [comments] => 3 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 21 [informant] => AmyLee4Ever [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
