Story of a Child Poet

Auto-Biographical poem for school.

 

Here’s the story of a poet

And all his unheard struggles

Those old and those new

Memories fade over time

Some lost forever

But there are the ones who stay

 

It is simply amazing

How much we as humans change

How much I’ve changed

No longer do I feel like an outcast

The kid always picked last

Too afraid to speak up and be noticed

Too scared to speak his mind or show his emotions

Afraid of the judgment of others

Just a scared little boy

 

What I’ve become is so much more

I’ve come so far

Though the battle is not over

But many victories have been won

I no longer care what people think

No longer care if I am judged

Though those would not be possible if not for them

My friends who have been there through thick and thin

Thanks to you all

 

Many battles still need to be fought

But they will come later

For now I am happy

Content with life’s blessings

And all those around me

I must be the luckiest kid alive

To be graced with such great friends

Like brothers they are to me

Reminiscing on the past

And the Poets most treasured tool

His writing

A great gift for Him to use

A place to lay emotions bare

And just reflect what is on His mind

A close friend to listen to Him when he needs it most

When He is struggling with His sorrows

No matter what He says it will always be there

Never to leave His side

 

Alas this chapter comes to a close

But this is not the end

But only a great beginning

Doors behind Him close only to reveal another in front

Entering the unknown future

With bright eyes

Great foresight

The biggest grin

And no more worries
