The Inner Me
~~~
When I was young
Innocent, self confident and full of life
There was no telling how I’d turnout
Cradled with strong beliefs
Blessed with loving, encouraging parents
I was strong, brave and stout
Paddled when needed
Kissed and hugged everyday
I grew up knowing wrong from right
A handful I might have been
I knew I was loved
When I closed my eyes at night
Growing up
I never wanted to do
Leaving home, the hardest thing I ever did
In my mother’s eyes
I saw the tears
She could never keep quite hid
I’ve done things
I’m not always proud of
Opportunities missed, I’ve come to regret
But to slow me down
Or set me back
I wouldn’t allow it the pleasure to let
Learned a lot through actions
Found courage to stand up
Yet learned when to let it be
Though at times
I struggled to understand life
I never doubted the inner me

I think that the ideas behind that poem are really good and something everyone should think about. I think that if you developed this poem a bit more and made it flow some more and I dunno... whatever.. I'm not a critic I'm sorry.
I thought it was pretty good.

| This was very well written. It' was also a very positive perception of your inner self. I really enjoyed reading it and will remember the words. It reminded me that it's okay if you make mistakes, we learn from them, and move on. And I also liked how you expressed your thanks to your parents. |
