Chase

This boy I know

he's quite bright

he's well spoken, polite

does everything right.

but something in him is stuck

a bit of his spirit gone away

from his smiling and nodding

obeying everyone day after day

inside him it's waiting 

scratching itching to come out

why should he be what they are

that can't be what life's about

so chase, he finally found

that thing that had felt so amiss

he stopped where he was

he was all he needed

and then

bliss.

I really like the message this pieces has. If only all people could find and accept themselves. I really enjoyed this.

if you don't love yourself you can't love someone else. Forget what people think and find the real you and what you are truly capable of . To be honest with without yourself is very important.

Enjoyed the poem.

I really like this one! Good point.

Aaahhhh.....if only it was that easy....:). I mean, truly finding oneself. Often those who seem to "have it all together" are the most lost in life, and they usually only discover it when their lives are nearly spent.....

Inspirational writing! :)
