    How about some poetry of our own?

    I thought since this topic is all about poetry, we should write our own, and that's what this thread is for!
    I'll start it off!
    It's called Take My Hope


    You ask me to watch you save
    To watch you save a life,
    But really all you’re doing is
    Causing the pain and fights.

    Tell me something more is here,
    Tell me it is true,
    But this is what you cannot see
    I gave the hope to you.

    The windows and doors are all
    Open to extent,
    But only to those who truly need
    The world at the present.

    When you’re down and when you’re blue
    You know where I am,
    So knock on my door at any time,
    You can cry until the end.

    It doesn’t matter what they think,
    Or even what they say,
    It’s what you know, what you believe,
    That makes you, you, so say

    If the world’s against you,
    You don’t have to be down,
    It’s the world that’s got a problem,
    You are not the clown.

    You look at the clouds one day,
    You think of that one girl,
    The one who gave you heart and hope,
    The one who’s life unfurled.

    So when you see something that’s not,
    Not what it really seems,
    Take my hope and continue to
    Pass on my belief.

    I noticed you accidentally put this in the wrong section, BlackbirdWriter. There is actually another area for this called Personal Poetry a bit further down the Forum menu, in the General Writing section. You might want to re-post and take a look around, and see what the other poems and comments are like down there.

    Oh! Haha, the embarrassment! Thankyou for pointing this out, boy am i emmbarrased now haha
    With love and life and respect for all things beautiful.
    If life gives you lemons, GIVE THOSE LEMONS LIFE!!!!

    With all my heart and all my soul, I will love you for all time.

    Music is my life, my heart and soul.
    Art ends all my strife, and pain always grows old.
    Poetry is my hope, it tells me the way to go,
    and Love helps me cope, it continues to grow!
