Legacy

People, older or younger, taller or smaller, will always look down on you, despise you, hurt you, and try to manipulate you. You will always have a road block in your way and a chip on your shoulder. Life isn't going to give you a break. It never has given me one. So I built up my walls of self-esteem and lived my life my way. I became invincible in my way towards success, happiness, and living the fullest of lives.

Sometimes it feels like constantly I'm

writing the same lines over and over each time

and living my life like some wind chimes,

blowing in the wind and making some noisy wind rhymes

that sound about as similar to the last

as Pluto seems to all the other dwarf planets passed

the Milky Way but I'm here to stay

so I need to find a poem to finally blow you critics away

because I'm tired of living in a home called "Past"

and finishing everyday in a place called "Last"

and going home to a world that I call "Strife"

and losing all hope to a thing called "Life."

My poems do seem to get a little complicated

but the things in my brain could never be overstated

and the madness and mayhem that they cause me

could be put on a shelf labeled "Classic Poetry."

I got walls of my knowledge

but it'll only get me to college,

maybe through it if I'm lucky

but I still got to try my luck, see

I'm meant to be a superhero

and to save the world from evil

but I can't do that full of fear so

I'm making a grand upheaval.

Constantly, everyday, continuing through the fear

and now I'm doing it without the help of an ice cold beer

because this is my legacy I'm writing on these walls

and all of my enemies would be better to withdraw.

There ain't no stopping me or my special group of friends

and by friends I mean the monsters inside of me. The end

is coming near and it's coming full-force

but I'm on my high horse without a care. I divorced

fear and pain and suffering and shame and altogether death

because I ain't scared no more. I'm fightin' 'till my last breath

and until I fall away into the cloudy skies

I'll be here on earth, so get ready for my arise

of perfecting my power and persecuting the pain 

as my cricketing crazy crickets continue to exclaim

all the lasting legacy-leaving lines that I love

to shout suddenly, screaming, scaring, soaring above

because forever my fate is finally free

as here a superhero hunts his legacy.

You know, as I was reading this, I felt as if your voice was growing louder with every line. Like your confidence and assertiveness grew with every word. It felt majestic.

[Emily]

Nice wording!!
Well done!

[Elisa]

I think you did a good job of conveying confidence without arrogance. You acknowledged the struggles that you've been through, showing the reader that you're not perfect. But, you made it clear that those experiences have made you stronger. I really like that.

Love the idea for this poem. Brilliant write. :)

[Lizardo]

You're already a superhero david, your writing make us defeat fears and move forward like we should. For us, you're already a super hero my friend :) and this poem so well written with an incredible style proves it all. Your writing never gets bored, it always has something new for us to understand, being classic is not a bad thing, its a good thing too. you see having new and classic are both good things. David, remember that you're a superhero already and you make everyone around, feel like superheros too.
Amazing write my friend, this is just amazing
