The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Wrote this some time ago... Several weeks at least. I found it while flipping through my binder. I must have written it when I was bored in Creative Writing or English...

 

I don’t worry so much about these things anymore... But I do have moments where I worry that I’m just deluding myself, or that I’m just setting myself up to get crushed... I think that’s where these lines came from. Or perhaps they're just the result of the usual confusion and chaos that are being a teen.

 

Anyways, with minimal further ado... I give you my poem. One that I wrote addressing myself in the second person.

 

Wishful Dancing

 

Dancing and singing and feeling so fine,

spending the night with your friends.

Feeling that somewhere you may find a sign

that with these folk your wandering ends.

 

Doomed from birth to wander free,

until you found harmony

with the people ‘round about

where you were, inside and out.

 

Laughing and crying and talking to her,

knowing she’s more than a friend.

Wishing that you could feel totally sure

that the love that you have will not end.

Nice. To sort of answer the unspoken question: God only knows. You may grow old together. You may grow apart fairly soon. Only time will tell. :(

 

One thing that isn't quite clear here. The last line of the second verse, "where you were, inside and out" - where you were... with the people? in harmony with the people? both? neither? i'm not quite sure what you're driving at right there.

 

In large, though, for an effort spawned of boredom, this is nice. :)
