            When it is time to go, I’ll go

           

            When it is time to grow, I’ll grow.

 

When I am forced to be strong                            

 

I will be driven by fear

 

I will not shed a single defeated tear                       

 

 I will only see a light leading me near.

 

 

Be strong for the person you are,

 

quasars and exploding stars

 

            When it is time to say goodbye

 

            I will kiss the warm sunny sky

 

            Closing my blue colored eyes

 

            Leaving no intruder in my flowered columbines

 

 

The moment I leave the halls of ‘morrow

 

I will cry not in sadness but in sorrow

 

            To all the people who I have hated

 

            & those who I had wanted to kiss

 

            Those who I will undoubtedly miss

 

This poem is for you.

 

The moment our paths split into 2.

The moment they say our names

In an alphabetic reign…

 

 

            When it is time for me to emotionally shut down

            I will reminisce your gorgeous eyes in the shade of brown.

 

                             

This is not a good-by, this is a hello.

When it is time or you to go, where will you go?

I love this. There are a couple lines that stick out as being too wordy, like "& those who I had wanted to kiss." It's just too much, kinda breaks the flow a little, but I like the sentiment.

I almost cried reading this, though, so GREAT job on it.

Strong back.
I see you such a long time but powerful way. This is very nice dear.
Hopping and wishing you a very very happy new year dear.

oh wow i love the tone and message of this poem, and the way you write is gorgeous! the rhyming structure is so fluid, especially at the beginning, and gives the poem a really passionate and emotional tone

well done!!
