Creating a poem is not easy, especially when you are doing it for the very first time. Poetry can be used to convey various messages such as encouragement, faith, love, even mystery. For me, I guess I was using the form of poetry to convey a message of strength. I was recently looking through my poetry book and came upon the first poem that I wrote. I wrote it two years ago, so it's really bad. I have since grown from then and now have so many amazing poems in my book. Here is the first poem that I ever wrote. I hope you get something out of it.
Through the Shadows
They have always told me
That I have never been good enough.
They have always told me
That I would not be able to do it.
For I have heard these things
And so much more
As I wander through the shadows.
What have you done
To benefit this world?
Have you lived a life worth living?
This present life knows not
Of my past mistakes
All this has been happening in my head
As I wander through the shadows.
Please, my dear friend
Don't think of it that way!
Your life is worth more than you know,
Please believe this as I pray!
The mistakes of your past
Are nothing now
For you are free and new.
Once again, you have found yourself
Wandering through the shadows.
Take a deep breathe, my love,
You are absolutely breathtaking.
Never will you cry alone....
No longer will you suffer
through the many trials of this world.
For God has caught you
To never let you go
Just when you needed Him
As you were falling through the shadows.
As you pick yourself up
From falling on the ground,
Just remember this one thing.
There will always be things
that will drag you down,
But let them have no sting!
You are loved!
You are beautiful!
You are worth way more than you know.
And when you feel
Your head drop low,
Don't forget that He is with you
As you wander through the shadows.
