My Song

My Song

A Poem by Tierra Starr

Underneath this smiling face
there's these tears waiting to fall.
Looking, lost for someone's warm embrace
Ready to bawl
I've tried, tried so hard to be happy
but this world keeps breaking me down.
They will never see
when i'm not around.
Hyper, sometimes I laugh uncontrollably.
Proud, that's what I want to be.
When I build up the courage to sing,
my beating heart, the passion it brings.
Don't call me emo, goth, insecure.
I'm metal, screamo, so hardcore.
The melody lets my emotions soar.
And the harmony, I beat along.
My pain release, it's in the song.

Hi, I would consontrate on a single emotion and not on all the emotions. Some songs take you down and some take you up. Some just laid there don't do anything. But the one's that stick with you are the back ground song of the moments in your life that wore there and you really didn't even hear them. But hearing them again seem to move you in a way you unexspected. Keep write. I find the only poems not worth remembering are the ones I don't worry about, There is alway another on ther way.
With joining this site I found that I use another, alot in my writings. I feel that I'm not writing many poems, but writing the same one as time goes by. Take care,Joe

I love these lines: "Don't call me emo, goth, insecure/I'm metal, screamo, so hardcore." The rhythm is great, and I love how you twist the labels from something derogatory to something empowering.
