Poetic life

Ever since I was really
young I have always had a soft spot for writing. I would write plays, short stories
are comic strips. When I was in the fourth grade there was another hidden talent
that I soon discovered. It was poetry. Since that first poem I wrote in the fourth
grade, I haven’t really stopped writing since. To me, poetry is something that can
never be wrong because it is something that you feel or that you have gone through.
Other people may be able to relate, but no one can tell you that your very own poem
is wrong. I usually write poetry when I am maybe feeling a little bit
sad, angry, or maybe even happy. When there are a lot of feelings going through me
at once, instead of yelling them out for the world to hear, I will grab a pen and a
pad and write down everything I am feeling. Believe it or not, once I have done
that, usually all the tension I was feeling seems like it has left my body and is
now on that pad of paper. I love poetry because every poem has a hidden
meaning usually. The person who wrote the poem always knows exactly what they meant
when they wrote it, but sometimes it might take the reader a minute or two to
realize what the poem is about. Sometimes at first, my poems might seem like a bunch
of words thrown together, but once you really get the meaning you realize that it is
much deeper than that. Other times it is very easy to understand what I am talking
about in the poem, definitely I you have been through the same
experiences. I usually always find time to write, either before or after
school. It doesn’t always come to easily though. I have to find something that
inspires me to write. If it is not something that I am experiencing personally, than
I usually let others inspire me to write about something. My poetery is,
to me, usually very organized and rhymes. They are usually not that long either
because I feel like the shortest poems are usually the ones with the most meanings
(Although long ones have meaning to) I do not have many hobbies but am
very proud to say that poetry is biggest forte. Never been very sporty to play
sports, or artistic to draw or paint, but writing is something that takes me to the
next level and beyond. When you have something that you are passionate about, you
usually will stick with it forever. I hope to do so. One of my favorite
poems was by Tupac Shakur, entitled "The rose that Grew from
Concrete............. "Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in
the concrete? Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having
feet. Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared."This
poem would seem like it is actually about a rose that grew from concrete when in
actuality is about how a young man (or anyone) is able to come up out o a bad
neighborhood or situation and make something of themselves. I believe his meaning
was that anyone who was walking down the street and saw a rose growing from concrete
would stop and be amazed by it. But when he came up out of the ghetto (just like the
rose came out of the concrete) all anybody could do was look at his flaws instead of
admire the fact that he made it out of somewhere where a lot of people don’t make it
out of.I really admire poems like this and many more because they inspire me to
write. Sometimes hen I am bored, I will think about something that has happened to
me or that I want to happen and I'll write about it. Sometimes it comes really
easily other times not so much. But at the end of the day it fells good to know that
I am the one that wrote it, and it is my very own. I can also look back on some of
them sometimes when I am feeling a certain way and they make me feel better. Poetry
is something that uplifts my soul and heart and I know that it is something I will
continue to do and share forever more. http://www.2pac2k.de/poems.html
