What inside, lies emotions, running
Ever fast through the mind. Curiously,
As you wonder what else you may find.
Look, open up your eyes, see what hides
Lying underneath. Your heart and soul to tell
So many secrets that you keep. To
Only feel accepted, somewhere to belong. A
Master of illusion, disguised within your song.
Emit a sense of loneliness, your heart
Torn from base to crown. The emptiness
Invites you, in self pity as you drown. It's time,
Make adjustments, find yourself a brighter ray.
Each rising dawn, to bring a brand new day.
Smile as you see the world in different light,
For today is the start of the rest of your life.
Embrace what gifts you have been given to hold,
Emitting light from your heart of gold. Feel
Love surround, no matter where or when,
Always to shine through your life, time and again.
Let each lonely feeling, slowly fade away. Each
Outnumbered by the good here to stay.
Never doubt your heart, others feel it too. Be
Enveloped in unity, to wipe away the blues.
Be yourself, as carefree as you want. But
Ultimately, one barrier holds you back, the one you
Teasingly flaunt. Let go of those
Negatives, a new reason to see a smile.
Experience the up-side of life, just for a while.
Very soon, I think that you may find, the
Emotions that you knew were only in your mind.
Reach for the stars, be all that you can,
Radiating warmth to all creation's land.
Enough of the sadness, it's time to take that frown,
Allow the pleasures that you seek, turn it upside down.
Live for today, and tomorrow soon will come,
Love for the future, let loose all the numb. Be
Young at heart, for only once you live,
Allow everyone else to see the heart you give.
Remember, no matter what, nor how far,
Each of us, we all sometimes feel alone, but never really are.

Thank you for your comment. I will admit, acrostics are fairly new to me, inspired by a contest here held specifically for that and I have been putting them out ever since, using all kinds of song titles and other things. Appreicate your reading.
Storm -
Wow, what a great idea to use the quote as an acrostic! It is one form of poetry I've not yet tried, as it seems making the lines sound natural from one to the next is often difficult. You did a good job though, and included so many beautiful thoughts and pieces of advice. Best of luck to you in the contest!

Entertaining and well structured poem.
Storm - I really enjoyed this piece! Especially these two lines:
Live for today, and tomorrow soon will come,
Love for the future, let loose all the numb.
I've never seen this thought of letting loose all the numb written before, yet it has a very real meaning for all of us. I hope you win!! Good luck - Lee -
A beautiful poem Storm. This has so much meaning especially the way you have wrapped it up. A remarkable job with this long acrostic. The flow and rhythm was great. Just loved it. Be blessed and best wishes to you in the contest.
