If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

3 poems·Since May 2013

My career choice is a Mechanical Engineer - which involves a lot of numbers and math BUT every so often I tap into my artistic side. Poetry helps me express emotions whether true to myself or others. I also really enjoy nature.

Why Do I Write?

June 8, 2013
People ask me it everyday In my response I always say I write so my opinion will be heard With my words strong, like a sword. That is what I wish I write to help you I write to help me I want to make an impact If it makes you smile Or go the extra mile It made a difference. That is what I wish I want to show you're not alone I want a light in life to be shown. That is what I wish Sometimes my emotions are what I write Then writing helps me feel right I'm sure some thoughts of mine Have also passed through your mind I want to prove normal does not exist here But if so, you'd take part, don't fear. That is what I wish You might not follow trends Or have a lot of friends But you are somebody You have a meaning When you're low, things only go up And if you learn all that from my work. Than I have succeeded.
