SMG Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well, the description of this folder mentioned poetry, so I figured I would share something I wrote a couple of weeks ago. Sorry if it's off topic or deemed not appropriate. <div align="center">RebellionAgainst reason, I sat on the swing.I'm a grown-up, grown-ups don't do such things.Up, up and away I went.I got lost in the clouds in the endless azure above.I forgot aboutmy agnst, the day to day worries, my ugliness,the desire to "conform" to be "accepted"and just let my mind run free.I wasn't on the ground!I was flying!I was dancing from cloud to cloud,teasing the birds! After a while,I looked down and saw my shadow.How undignified!A heavy, grown-up womansitting in a swing meant for children!Ashamed,I got out of my swing and went home.As I went home,I thought to myself,"I don't like looking at my shadows. I think I'll stick to the clouds instead!"</div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMG Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yes, I do have more. But many of them are from my "clinically depressed" period, so I'm not sure they'd be very good for "uplifting" or "inspiration," so to speak.

SMG Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Here's one that I thought would be okay. Not the most cheerful thing around, but it is one of my favorites I have written.<div align="center">At the End of the DayI'm gonna be alright. I'm gonna be okay.No matter how bad it was, today was just one single day.Dry those tears. Silence those fears.Close your eyes, get some rest.Tomorrow just may be your very best.No one knows what comes with the dawn, until it's already done and gone.Hush those cries. Dry those eyes.New hope comes with the sunrise.You're gonna be alright. You're gonna be okay.All your somedays won't be like your today.Why look to tomorrow with such sorrow?Wasn't it dear Mother who said,"Put one foot in front of the other, and keep looking ahead."Hush now. Get to bed. Lay down your tired head.Remember those words Momma said.</div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
