When darkness overtakes
And the impact breaks
This shallow heart of mine
And the world is entwined
To voice its opinion of me
Blinding the girl I used to be
This heart I used to think was healed
Secrets fall from lips unsealed
And newness thrusts itself
Into a problematic health
Change thinks it’s the right time
And I want to believe it’s right
Everything changes for the better
But then once dark and stormy weather
Opens the clouds into blue skies
Freeness erases the sins and lies
It’s time to turn away from the past
The sunny skies are sure to last
And even if they don’t
I’ll always have that hope
That the sun will shine yet again
And I feel happiness deep within
They may not like who I am now
But that doesn’t bother me somehow
Because if they don’t want me to be happy
They aren’t the people I want to see
So I’ll stand in the sunlight
And bask in its radiant shine
And smile to myself as I realize
That I have a second chance at life
This is so beautiful, Gabby. These few lines really stood out to me:

Agree 1,000 percent with that. People change, and change can be a good thing. If someone doesn’t support that, just slam the door in their face. Um, well, figuratively. Lol.
Anyway, I really loved reading this. Overall, an amazing piece. :)
Awh thank you so much, Lucy!! I'm so happy you liked those lines, they were some of my favorite as well ;)

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful bunch of lines.

These lines are SO relatable:

Because if they don’t want me to be happy
They aren’t the people I want to see
I love how your optimism bleed into this poem and how it ended triumphant and proud. I think the lesson of this poem (be yourself [or at least, that was the lesson i perceived]) is very important for young people to here.
THANK YOU!!! That means so much to hear, I'm so happy you enjoyed reading it and I'm thankful for your response!
DeleteAnd yes! That was mainly the lesson, it's one of those pieces I kind of wrote from personal experience of realizing that others opinions don't really matter and it makes things so much better to just be yourself and to stop trying to hard to be what society wants to see! So yes, to sum it up "be yourself" is a lot of the main theme of the poem XD
Thank you again, your comment means a lot! :)
You're welcome. :)
ReplyDeleteOkay, good. I often totally misinterpate the message in these things. XD
