I Didn't Follow My Dreams-Original Poetry

We all have them so where did mines go?

I hope, I wish, I wonder, I imagine.
I start, I stop, I fear, I differed.
Listen I'm trying to understand what happened.

I stopped and differed seem to stick out
Maybe I just didn't believe in myself.
I Stopped. I Stopped.
I didn't see them through.
Fear got the best of me. Maybe that's the truth.

Someone else realized them now, took them right out of my head.
I didn't follow my dreams, now those dreams are dead.

Poetic Moments: So Many things

I am like a crime mystery yet to be solved, the best detective in the world got a job on his hand with me.
I am like a 7 year old little girl on a toy shopping spree.
I am often like the sun rising and going down; I am like a shadow, sometimes showing and other times can’t be found.
I am like a fluffy dog, mans best friend and a guard dog at night; I am like a tunnel, only one way in or out and full of bright lights.
I am like a young school girl awaiting a crushes phone call; I am like a fatherless child with no one to teach me how to catch a my ball.
I am like a lost one on some days and confused on others; I am found on most days and insightful to others.
I am like a happy soul creeping through the night; I am like a strong wind, I uplift the kites.
The kites bring smiles to those below and beauty to the blue skies
I am like so many things so many times, I am like whatever words or images come to my mind.

Nothing In Life Is Free- A Little Poetry

I hope its okay If I release my inner Maya Angelou with you through some poetry. I've been writing since I was 7 but I can count the number of times I've shared it with people. My blog is about me facing my fears and following my dreams of doing what I love; writing. I hope you can feel it, appreciate it, and if it's alright with you I will share more in the future.

Nothing In Life Is Free

Life is not easy, nor was it ever meant to be; it was meant to be a challenge a growth process and a tease. It’s suppose to show you what you can have and what you can do; it’s suppose to give you choices, the rest is really up to you. You can learn if you choose to, from experience or through others eyes. You can sprout successfully, or you can wither up and die. Life is not easy, nor was it meant to be; Give your soul, your heart and just let the rest be. Or you can do whatever u want; just remember nothing in life is free.
