Poetry

This blog thing is totally working to my advantage. Writing is coming easier not only here in my entries but i also wrote a lab report today in record time. What inspired me to write today is inspiration. I used to think i was a writer. I wrote some poetry and i liked to try to write short stories, but i hardly ever finished them. This poem is not truely mine because the first two lines are taken from the poem that is the title of my blog. I think about those lines a lot tho because i think they apply to me in some respects now more than ever. But wait,

I didnt sit down to bore you to death with that crap. I logged in to show the first poem i am publishing anywhere for people to see. I was done writing that lightening-fast lab report when this just popped into my head. I usually end up throwing my poetry away before anyone sees it or keeping it somewhere private, so this is kind of a step for me. I havent written apoem probably in over a year so go easy on the criticism, i am sure they will get better with practice and i hope my blog helps me write more in the future!

Heart 1
I know my heart has lied before
but now it speaks with honesty
and despite my intervention
shows you the worst side of me
admitting all my imperfections
exposing my flaws ruthlessly
tearing down all my protection
displaying every part of me.
My heart betrays my intentions
and fake invulnerability.

So there it is. Probably the first poem you are seeing from me and probably not the last!

Nice poem you plagiariser (the first two lines are stolen) sike. I have never written any peotry that wasn't required to be written for school or something. The last poem I wrote I think was in ninth grade about a blue car that I wanted. I even wrote it in the shape of a car too. But this is good. I liked it. Keep em coming
