Be Ready

by shannon   Jul 6, 2005


Everyone come and stand up tall
Be ready to win, and ready to take the fall

Be ready for when your heart will begin to break
Be ready to give, rather then take

Be ready for all the nights that will seem like hell
Be ready to pick up those who have fell

Be ready to cry away many nights
Be ready for all the up coming fights

Be ready for that backstabber that you thought was a good friend
Be ready to take your broken wings, and help them mend

Be ready for love, friendship, and pain
Be ready for those moments when things get a little too insane

Be ready to pick yourself up, and once again restart
Be ready to feel joy, emptiness and love in your heart

Be ready to move on, when you never thought you could
Be ready to stand for what you believe in, even if no one else would

Be ready to be seen, to be insight
Listen to all I have to say, because this is growing up, so hold on tight

    Very beautiful. The repitition was great and so was the rhyme scheme. The rhymes worked however they were very simple. Try a little more complexcity in your rhyming. Great poem! 5/5!
