Leaving

by AngelicDecadence   Dec 27, 2008


Many times in my life,
I've thought about packing up,
And just leaving this place,
I mean, I had nothing to waste.

I've learned one thing now..

It doesn't matter where the seed came,
It doesn't matter where it falls,
It matters how big the seed chooses to grow,
And how far it flows below.

I thought so long that my life was pointless,
that there was no hope in trying,
Because I would only end up hurt,
And I did not want to get burnt.

I still think sometimes "Why try?"
Because I continued to be sad,
And my life just wasn't good,
Sometimes I was barely given food.

But now I know...

It doesn't matter where the seed came,
It doesn't matter where it falls,
It matters how big the seed chooses to grow,
And how far it flows below.

I learned that my life is hard,
But it could be harder,
I learned I'm in pain many a time,
But so are so many others, so why whine?

So now I'm sure,
I'm no longer afraid,
My bags are not packed,
Now no one will overreact.

This is all because...

It doesn't matter where the seed came,
It doesn't matter where it falls,
It matters how big the seed chooses to grow,
And how far it flows below.

    I really like this poem because It's full of so much emotion and self-questioning. I like how it progresses and then you start to put in self discovery and understanding. I loved the repitition of the stanza. It really highlighted the message of your poem and added a kind of mystery and essence to it I think. I really love the way you wrote this, and the message involved. Great job...Wonderful poem. Keep it up. 5/5

    This poem was great, I loved how you learned in life that it may seem that youre really having a hard time, but theres people out there who are much worse off.. it takes a lot to realize that. Repetition in this piece was quite effective, the point you were trying to get across was clear, the repeated stanza was wonderful.. it was like you were trying to emphasize it, and I thought it was something truly that needed to be repeated.. so well done with that. Hm, not much to say. You did a good job.. you taught us all a leason here that I hope opens some peoples eyes.

    5/5.
