Shocked In Aw


 

Shocked In Aw

            Inquired to pearl

            Subsist in mind

            Involuntarily strong willed

            Lest the path to regret

 

            They haunt your consciousness

                They lay claim to your thoughts

                Memories are your last light

                Upon your many nights

 

                Be viselike

                For you are limited

                Vigor is key, but rich heart is essential

                Open minded you must be

 

                Do not be enticed

                Do not dwell in the past

                Hold fast or you’ll surely be last

                Alone you are not

 

                Mundane it is to just give in

                The world is a land of hell and heaven

                Still it beholds brilliance

                Fear nothing of its challenges

 

                Punch holes over its soft spots

                Stand through it all

                Shine brighter than any

                Do what none other has done

               

                For you are exemplary

                You are cunning

                One, un-cloned, uneasy, yet you are…

                Shocked in Aw

Hello! I'm 19 years old. I've grown a lot since a year an a half ago. I still write lots of poems just don't have much time to post them. Its over 600 but who needs count, art isn't limited by number but heart-filled effort lol. I pray everyone is doing well, thank you for those who have read my craft, liked it, commented and took time out of their day to view it. Currently I speak mainly two languages English and spanish while learning french. I'm keeping busy, GOD bless everyone and have a dazzling day. Oh that's me and my mom too in the pic if it even loads haha, feeling fresh;).
