My style of poetry changes often, but mostly has the same rhythm, I have been trying different things lately in an attempt to express myself at different levels. In doing so I have tried free verse instead of my usual rhyming. *although I still do the rhyming thing*
I read, walk, talk and do whatever I can to find inspiration, but find my own life experiences tend to be the focus of my poetry. I took what I consider a long break from AP moreso for my own personal reasons...However, it definitely felt like I needed to write again, so I came back. Although what I've been writing lately is VERY different from what I have in the past... I hope you like it. (smile)
I am completely open to critique, and value everyones opinion here on AP.

"Brave" by Idina Menzel

I just don't know where I'm going
and tomorrow, is a little overwhelming
and the air is cold
and I'm not the same anymore

I've been running in your direction
for too long now, I've lost my own reflection
and I can't look down
if your not there to catch me when I fall

(Chorus)If this is the moment, I stand here on my own
If this my right of passage
that somehow leads me home
I might be afraid, but its my turn to be brave

If this is the last chance, before we say goodbye
At least its the first day, of the rest of my life
I can't be afraid
cos' its my turn to be brave

All along all I ever wanted
was to be the light, when your life was daunting
but I can't see mine
when I feel as though, your pushing me away

Well whose to blame?
are we making the right choices?
cos' we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices
As we close the door
when we're so desperate to stay

(chorus)

"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"

"Everything happens for a reason... even if we can't always see reason" (by me)

"Life is not about the breaths we take, its about the moments that take our breath away" (Will Smith in Hitch)
