I wish people understood the power of their words.
I wish that when they spoke,
They realized that someone was listening.
I wish they realized that somewhere
A little girl was c l i n g i n g to their melody,
Humming along to the chorus
Memorizing every crescendo, every down beat
Because she holds on to that precious spark
It might ( some day ) catch flame,
And it’ll provide the energy for her to dream her dreams
With their words as a {s a f e t y n e t}
In case she trips, and she falls.
Their hypnotic voice could give her strength
Lend her enough courage to dust off her bruises
Hold her hand so she can smile through the tears
Because there’s a voice, somewhere, whispering
“I know you can do this, because one day…”
And when those words are spoken
A silver lining alights on the horizon
So that as long as she keeps her eyes on it
Her chin will never fall
Her eyes will never look ashamed
Until the record s.t.o.p.s playing
And it keeps skipping on
one day
One day.
One day.
And she’ll stumble over her fear
Because she can’t remember
What’s supposed to come next.

That's the prettier version.. :]
The prettiEST version is in my notebook
Sadly, I cannot transform my doodles and coloring into computer speak =[
or I'd totally narrate them throughout the poem xD!
Anyways, enjoy. Cuz this poem is very simple for me
At least, I think so. And it STILL made me sad.

a good piece of poetry which flows smoothly along the course of creativity, it lingers on the edge of brilliance, shining brightly with poetic bliss. and captures the colours of life, and love. in the folds of heaven eyes shine brightly, wondrously as the sparkled spiralled caress of magnificence sails through the twists and turns of splendid atmosphere. there is a flow that dances along with a smooth rhythm and stylish rhyme.
