Find the True You

This was given to me as a "personal poem" assignment in my english class. His comments were beautiful and thoughtful and I got 100% on it. However, it kinda swerves off and straightens out at the end

 

Sometimes you need to explore the depths of your soul

You question whether it’s warm or cold

But truly your life and thoughts have a story to be told

Who you are and your actions is what you’ll have to think about while you grow old

 

 

Who do you want to be? Since we can all pretend

But our true character seems to create the trend

We have a variety of faces

But our experiences create our revelations

 

 

One of the most influential emotions is love

When her beauty is more perfect than the flawless white dove

The warmth of your hands intertwined

And when you tell her you love her more than the world is wide

 

 

You tell her she’s your rainbow and at the end of everyday you find a brand new pot of gold

But the gold is all her qualities and you learn more and more as your relationship unfolds

However being able to appreciate others helps you learn to appreciate yourself

And not put your priorities behind theirs on a shelf

 

 

So then, what is love?

Anger, joy, jealousy, and hope? Love is all the above.

Love is feeling every imagined and felt emotion for someone and still always wanting them next to you

When you don’t need to lie and everything you say is true

 

 

So to the question who?

The answer is you

Don’t hide who you are

Ignore the past and all your scars

Rise above

Only to the people who deserve it, give your love

Because all your qualities and heart is a magic trove

 

 

Your life is a puzzle and it’s almost complete

All that’s left is finding out who has the matching piece

You have a plethora of moods

But they all coexist and mingle to create the true and real YOU.

Yes! Most people are afraid to look deep inside of themselves
They are afraid to find a little truth.

What an inspiring piece with a little twist and turns here and there. I love how you were talking about yourself and then about love and then back to yourself. The transitions flow smoothly though the thoughts really did swerve. Yours is a meaningful poem.

Keep Writing. ^___^
