My Heart Talking

- personification in action , my heart stopped beating and kept me alive with words

How do I choose between who I love and who I'm in love with
I would say I couldn't because of a huge difference
I'm in love with the man of my dream
I love my family who cherished me since birth
but now I've made my own walking grounds on earth
Growing in age, maturing my ways, and mastering responsibility
but nobodies feeling me
Sometimes I swear up and down if loving him is wrong
I don't want to be right
When they all shoot me down , he picks me up at night
My bullet proof vest , not protecting me from stress
not much stress at all,because I still stand tall
In fact I consider myself happy , stay focused and notice
all the hatred coming my way trying to trap me
They say a mother knows best , I wonder if that's still true
if she lets her misery control her hateful steps
A sad individual pulling others down to make herself visible
Left in the dark , only to be taken over by evil
I had to step into the light, not purposely trying to leave you
but I'm older now and what makes you happy won't always make me happy
You know what you think is best for my life
but I go home and map out other plans at night
Everyone goes through it, but I moved a little fast
some say I jumped to it
but I have plans that I'm gonna follow through with
and if it means anything to you
I hope you're around to see me do it
I'm not just a dreamer with goals
there's this mandatory place in life that I'm gonna go
and I wont let anything stop me,
not even the consistently falling snow.

Author's Note

Something serious from within, I want to make it story length but keep it a poem...after a few reviews I'm gonna consider adding more.

Nicely presented in free form poetic prose. You have an aptitude for rhyme but attention to meter would make the flow even smoother ivor aka poeticpiers

[Draconic]

I liked this. It really gave a idea of how you feel, while creating a bit of a story.
