I am

I am deep because
I see things differently
I think that life is a great gift
that is not treasured the way it should be
I think the world is not kind
and that sometimes
the ones with the smallest voice
are never heard and overlooked
I will not be overlooked
I write what I feel
and what my heart tells me
I love those that show love
and I try to love those that have hurt me
but in life you can only love so much
without being hurt
so I protect my heart
but I still have lots of love to give
my life is precious to me
it is not to some
but that does not matter
because I don't need you to love me
I love me and that is all that matters

    What you write here is the very turth of life. We want to see love and feel love, but it doesn't always come that easy. You told that story of life so beautifully and with depth I wish I could put to some of my pieces...

    You keep that heart of yours as pure as it is now, because it surely is a beautiful heart you have. Thanks for sharing this beautiful poem with us and all the best for you!

    Well done young lady and all the
    best to you in this contest! It's
    great that you are so in touch with
    your own heart and talents. If only
    the world would open up their eyes
    and realize the way that you do,
    that what everyone else thinks doesn't
    matter. It's what you truly feel inside
    that does. Wonderful work here and thanks
    a lot for sharing this with all of us
    here! Keep it up!
