I like to write, be it stories, poems and so on. I'd like to post my stuff here and if anyone would like to post some of their work or even just a favorite poem or story that they like that's cool too. To kick this off...
We the Shadows
Gliding silently through your mind,
Hiding stealthily, just out of sight.
Seeding your every desire and fear,
Needing to be a part of some cause.
Losing nothing within our wake,
Using everything we can find and steal.
Senses there for the taking,
Fences there for the breaking,
We are the shadows always forsaking,
Hear us whisper, you are awaking.
Another... (something I wrote to a teacher that made a difference.)
Lessons
Anticipation, stress, nerves, joy and sadness,
all things felt at the end of the year,
but this time it is different, for I am undergoing a right of passage,
that passage into the wolrd of adults.
That world full of choices an dopportunities, that can lead to good or trouble.
I rejoice, I'm almost there, but with so much say,
so much to do and so much to remember,
I find I remember the wrong things.
Facts are all well and good but what really needs remembering,
is my time well spent and well wasted.
I should remember the lessons so valuable in life
and the people who taught them to me.
The fun of something new, the comfort of something familiar,
the humor of something witty and the humbling of something embarassing.
This is my solemn vow to never forget the little miracles in life
and the angels who delivered them.
Would love to hear what people think of my stuff and I would love read what others write and like.
