    • I'm gonna be dumping random thangents, thoughts in my mind I just have to let out. I hope no one minds, but thoughts are poetry right?

    Poem Commentary

    I wrote this for my little sister. I'm a bit messed up emotionally and it's about me putting up a front of strength so the pedestal for her hero doesn't break. How that no matter how many storms I have to weather in life I'll always be the unstoppable badass she sees me as.

    The Show Must Go On

    I've seen a lot,
    In eighteen years,
    Things that would bring you to tears,
    No doubt.
    But I don't pout.
    I don't bemoan, or groan,
    About my impecable situation.
    It may seem odd,
    But I welcome the abrasion.

    Though the memories caused dents,
    There's nothing I resent.
    As it buffers me against 
    The things that really hurt.
    And even though sometimes I cry,
    I'll always claim it's something,
    In my eyes,
    Just to seem strong, for you.

    Because you look up to me,
    It's the least I can do,
    To look after you. 
    And if I must face that storm again,
    For you I'd do it with a grin.
    Gun blazing all the way.
    I'd fight all night,
    I'd fight all day.
    Because the fight is never over,
    And the show must go on.

    Yeah, I'd give anything for my little siblings, being the oldest, and I've even protective of my younger friends. :)

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
