OUR ORIGINAL POETRY: Share It Here
Hello there everyone!
If you're reading this it means that you probably are quite fond of poetry and writing it to. This is a thread to post all and any poetry that you may have, be it happy, sad, angry or just silly. All styles are welcome (free verse, couplets, slam) and it would be great to have at least one poem up a day for all of us to enjoy together!!
I have grown up
With music
My whole life
I remember
The
8 track
Tape
And vinyl records
In their cabinets
There was also
The cassete
Tape
Too
I'll never forget
The
CD's
Either
The CD's were stored
In cases
The records, tape
And CD's still
Do exist
It's just that most
Things are
On digital platforms now
Life's a game
Life’s a game and I think I’m losing
I started not knowing
How to play cards or chess
But instead I just keep going
To be honest I’m a bit of a mess
And since I’m competitive I’ve got to win
So I get back on my feet again
When it’s good and you think you’re fine
You’re really not
But we still don’t cry
Because I’m afraid
Why am I not okay?
It’s not like it’s a choice I’ve made
I’ve been dealt good cards, sure enough
A home and food
A dad and mum
Compared to most, I’ve got it good
So why can’t I be understood
Not even by myself?
