Desire


The demands of the heart never

Make sense.

Desire within reaches out

With no recompense.

It takes over and spreads

Throughout the entirety

Of my being.

My heart explodes from

The stress on my own

Life’s meaning.

Desire isn’t there to help

Anyone, but I wish

Something good could come out of it…

Or Someone.

I love words... I actually started out writing lyrics for songs and then I realized how much more I can express myself through poetry. One of my teachers pushed me to join the writing club at school and the book that the club published had so many amazing writers that I decided that I wanted to be a part of that community. When I write my poetry about a topic that means something to me it makes me feel freer, like a weight lifts off my shoulders every time and I LOVE IT!
