New Chapter

My tears are no-longer
the fruits of my sorrow
but tears of liberated joy
To have become a better man
leaving behind a blasphemous boy
Resilient in lifes adversities
I'm writing with good thoughts ahead
Turning a new leaf in the book of life
the new chapter now to be read

Author notes

Never lose that shadow of hope, never give in and never give up going no matter what. Every day is a new chapter, every day is a new page. Tears of sadness come to try us but, moving on is liberating. When you have lived through sorrow you grow and mature. This is an excellent poem.

I find it amazing, how you let the rhymes flow so easily..it's inspirational! I think I feel the need to write something too now, only it wont be 'that' great, if these are random thoughts, I wonder what's going to happen if you write with the intention to create a masterpiece. Great work Ken! Good to see you stepping out of that phase. *bounce bounce* Hehe

Much love!
