Find the Strength

Penetrating laughter,
Words,
Pains,
Stares.

Piercing bystanders,
Fragile heart,
Sensitive child,
Loss of love.

Lost and lonely,
There I was.

Feeling unloved,
There I was.

From this,
I gained courage,
I gained strength.

I turned around,
I told the world,
"I'm not a weed,
I'm not a god.

I'm not poison,
I'm not a saint.

I'm a person.

I make mistakes,
I help people.

I forget things,
I feel passion.

Sometimes I miss,
Sometimes I score.

But if you stand
In my way,
I'll only aim harder."

Find your strength,
Find your courage.
You are loved.

You are never alone.

Beautifully executed poem.

Thanks so much! That means a lot! So do you mean I've found my beat? :)

Not as much found your beat but you've taken advantage of it. It has a nice beat, almost jazzy.
