Alright, I gotta right two poems I've had in my head down in here, so bear with me.
There is something wrong with the world
When a girl
comes to me
and says
she's not pretty
when she's the most beautiful thing
that I may have ever seen
objects in mirror are prettier than they appear
For me you will never be two sizes too small
too big
two inches under height
or two cup sizes away
You are perfect,
and if not in my eyes
for some man out there
You do not need to throw up to fit that dress
Just buy it a size bigger
or smaller
There is a place in this world for each and every one of us
and you don't need to lose weight to fit inside it
you only need to grow as a person
so take your hand out of your mouth
and your mind off such harmful things
there is and will always be a place for
you,
and I do mean you you,
and there's also always a little more room
for cheesecake
Alright one down, I think I'm going to take that one line "Objects in mirror are prettier than they appear" and make it a sticker and go put it on women's restroom mirrors all over the world.
Now, second poem.
So, you don't like poetry?
That doesn't mean much to me.
For you see
a wise man once said
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
And the human race is filled with passion.
And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
It's true,
whether you want to admit it or not
Poetry is how you word love
Poetry is how you express life
Sure, the arts in general do that.
But you'll be hard pressed not to find poetry and love intertwined
A love movie?
That is poetry in motion
A love song?
Poetry is it's very soul
A beautiful painting?
Have the poet describe that for you, without using a poem.
You don't realize it, but you wanna write poetry
it's okay,
it's natural.
A novelist wishes he could write a poem
he just doesn't know how to rhyme
or cut lines short
so he capitalizes every sentence with a sigh
and tries again
and again
and turns it into an epic
at least that's it's true name
but I'll humor him
he wrote "a novel"
How novel of him.
But me?
I WRITE POETRY
and I am proud
because I turn love into words
and words into meaning
and without meaning
we are often nothing
and without poetry
I fear I may be nothing
So humor me,
don't snap your fingers
or clap in appreciation
close your eyes
and listen to these words
no scratch that,
FEEL these words
as I write
every
single
word
on your soul
and make my mark
to show you
what love is.
There, I've bled out my poetry for now.
(And I know I wrote right at the start)
