A Smith none the less


 

A Smith none the less

            Driven to success

            Hired into life

            Stung with blisters

            Beaten at every corner

           

            Words cannot suffice

            Pain that drives one

            Life is a gateway

            Through many doors

           

            Lit in red and white

            Crawling with things

            Seen or unnoticed

            They come upon you

           

            Hacking and whacking

            Again, till you say

            “Let me rest”

            Give in they wish

 

            Ask for mercy

            Do not speak of this

            For you are strong

            Family of all

           

            Forged in fire

            With your own desires

            Challenge your demons

            Be brave, swift, smart

           

            For you are a smith, none the less

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;).
