Writing for Odyssey has allowed me to expand the topics that I write about. I would never have said a year ago that I would be confident enough to write and share my own original poetry with the world. The thing is, in order to become more confident in your skills, you have to take a leap of faith and trust yourself. So, I'm going to take a leap of faith by sharing my poem, and I'm excited to see how I land.
We
We are
We are all demons wanting to be angels
We are all sinners wanting to be cleansed
We are all villains wanting to be heroes
We are all humans wanting to be gods
Yet
We continue to
We continue to pride ourselves
We continue to have envy
We continue to lie to others
We continue to make mistakes
But
We still hope
We still hope for a better tomorrow
We still hope that we can change
We still hope that we will become better people
We still hope that a heaven is waiting for us when we breathe our last breath
Assume
We only get this
We only get this one life to live
We only get this one chance to have everything we could ever hope for
We only get this life to look forward to and nothing else
Then
We have to fight
We have to fight to better our mistakes
We have to fight to be the greatest version of ourselves
We have to fight to make this the best life we can have
Because
We are all
We are all cursed with humanity
We are all seduced by the devils kiss
We are all subjects of nature's cunning flaws
We are all tricked to eat the forbidden fruit
We are all demons wanting to be angels
