We are all creators, creator's of our own kind,
Use your imagination, experience your mind,
We can create anything, this you shall find.
So take advantage of it and leave the world behind.
Life is a struggle, and freedom is too.
But you'll overcome, if you remain true.
Worry about nothing, don't sulk in shame.
If you do wrong, don't point the blame.
Be a superstar, in your own special way.
Life is a script, it travels down the paths we lay.
Hold your head high, be who you are,
Climb to the mountaintop, reach for the stars.

I bet my creative writing profesor would like that one. He's always telling us what we can do, where we can go. I like it myself. It gives a reallt great outlook on life.

That is what I get when I come to read a poem that sounds so good and have been commented by so many people already...not much left to say
Positive thoughts and words are always welcome, and I tend to agree with you here. There are so many kinds of creators in this world, and it is our responsability to be careful with our creations. Specailly words can affect a lot and bad guidance is very dangerous.
Well said magic2!
Kisses and love,

Actually, Ms. Rose (hahaha, Bri), is that you are 14, but your writing is not 14, it's much more advanced. You are much further advanced than I was at your age, for I didn't write my REAL first poem until 10th grade. So just hang in there, for your creations will come alive soon, trust me, just be patient. You have exceptional talent.
Oh, and with this next message, I was going to talk about your age, but you beat me to it. Your writing is amazing, just remember that. Oh, and you didn't ruin anything for yourself, nothing is ruined. You have to just take it all in stride. Tomorrow is a brand new day, so who knows what will happen. Believe in yourself, once you do that, all things will be possible.
I'm sorry about your ankle. I know how you feel, for I was a star basketball, football, and softball player in high school, and my one problem was injuries. Broken and fractured ankles especially. I'm still suffering from injuries now, but it's not my ankles. You'll be fine, just hang on in there.
You are in a funk right now, and I hope you get out of it soon. Remember, you are special in everyway, no matter what anyone says. And please, continue to speak your mind, and speak it freely. My response was mainly to show you what I meant or was thinking when I wrote the poem, nothing more.
But you are right, tomorrow brings a new day and a new mood, be ye happy, and be that creator that you know you are, just be patient, and it will all come to you, I promise. Believe in yourself, and remember that you are special, you are special, you are special, believe that, believe it. Take care, and I can't wait to hear from you next. bye bye -
Magic, I'm glad you always take the time to write me. i always enjow long comments, and I do understand. You have to remember that I'm only 14 and that I'm prone to thinking. I don't want to seem snippy or anything, it's just my ancle is bugging the shit our of me. I twisted it on friday playing V-ball. any way, you don't have to call me Ms. Rose or anything. You can call me Bri if you want to, but i do appreceaite the thought. *smile* I create by writing yes, but the characters never seem to come to life as C.S. Lewis does like in the lion the witch and the wardrobe. no matter how well i write. i can never seem to get the people i've created to come alive in a sense. I know that it's not possible for them to really come alive and all that, but then again. i can vision them in my mind and see how they look and feel how they feel. That's how i escape. i don't know how you escape but i like it in this peaceful site where i can think what i want to think and believe in anything my minds come upon. i'm not saying that you ruined that for me, but when i look back at what i wrote i feel like i ruined that for me. i don't know why. i've been in a really bad mood latle and i can't seem to get out of it. tomorrow brings and new day, and i hope a new mood.

No Briar Rose, this poem, when it was written, was thought through the writer's eye. You see, a writer is like a god, they can create anything, they create their world, they create their feelings, they create their characters, they create the mood, they create everything. That was what the poem was saying, a writer is the creator. Oh, and pertaining to everyone else, their imaginations can create anything, like C.S. Lewis, he created Narnia, or J.R.R. Tolkien, he created Middle Earth, and so on, and so on. But anyway, that's what was meant by this poem, not that we can create anything like God himself, for we can't achieve everything, like for example, to make it simple, I'm not an artist, and so, I can't draw, so I cannot create a character through sketch, but I can through writing. And you, Ms. Briar, you too are a creator, for you are a writer, and whatever you think up, you can make, you can create. For the bible says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth."
How about you? I say, "In the beginning, Briar Rose wrote, and through her writing, she created anything and everything she ever wanted to create. And in her old age, when she looked back on her creation, she saw it, and it was good."
So Briar Rose, be that creator. -
I agree with everyone else that this is indeed a very uplifting piece, but then if you think about it you cna't create everything and the people who think they can, usually go blind with their power. it's nice to think that you are the kind of person that believes that thought because that means you don't let go of your dreams. never let go of your dreams.. becuase they just might become reality.

Very uplifting... I liked it you wrote well. I wasn't too keen on the linbe 'be a movie star' as many people wouldn't see this as something very fulfilling in their lives (well I wuldn't anyway) but then again i suppose to others it would. Anyway, I thought it was a nice peice, congratulations
-
Quite the uplifting piece. It makes me want to really succeed.
-
Truly inspirational. I liked the way you wrote this and the fact that you clearly show just how much of life there really is to enjoy and how we should just live and fulfill it.
gorgeous -
Oh my god this poem is so inspirational and made my mood lift so high. This is the happiest poem Ive read in ages, so full of hope. My god this is beautiful.
Love

While I was reading this my mind kept saying, don't worry be happy. And that is the outlook we need to take on life. If we let it get us down, we will never truly learn to enjoy it. There are ups and downs, just take it as a rollercoaster ride to death. Life is a blast if we just sit back and enjoy. Well stated write, keep up the good work, sweet write.

Very inspiring piece! That would be a great encouragement for everybody, for people who might be lost in touch. You've got a wonderful one again in here, I liked it as in I loved everything, you spoke of reality!
