Like I said in my last post, I LOVE POETRY. It's the perfect outlet for my ridiculous and overly dramatic life. Sometimes, I just boil over with emotion or people drive me crazy, and I start writing a poem to get all the crap out of my head. Other times, I can't find the right words to say or I'll write what I really want to say instead of saying something and hurting someones feelings. It's really nice to be able to say what you honestly want to say when you want to say it. Honestly, it's one of the only ways I can say what I need to say sometimes. But that in itself is amazing to be able to do, and I'm glad that I'm privileged enough to be able to.
The following is a poem I wrote about two weeks ago. It's untitled, and I hope you like it.
When we look up
eyes focused on the sky
Wondering what to do with our lives
And why we must grow old and die
We realize
Not our dreams
Our hopes
Our future
Can bring us down
Just the world can hold us back from our dreams.
But we can't let the world control us
Let it change who and what we are
Or else we'll all be the same
Driven mad by society's game.
Living to love
Loving to live
And daring to step foot outside the box of normality
Can make peace and harmony
Just one step outside that box can bring those dreams down from the sky.
- Teale
