The First Time I Met You
I met you on a day that to some would have been perfect.
but to me,
that was the day I felt worthless.
I remember drowning in a sea of tears
trying to run away from my fears
I thought I lost everyone, most importantly me.
I couldnt see,
past the lies that were being told
all the foolery that I came to know
and the pain I kept inside that turned my heart cold.
I lost a friend who I thought cared for me,
and when she left she took a peice of me,
best friends forever she told me she wouldn't leave.
I felt every letter of the cruel words those kids spit at me
I felt broken like the branches on a Autom tree
I ended up blowing in the wind like the autom leaves
I never felt a warm and soothing touch like a summer breeze.
I was close to giving up and almost fell to my knees
but that's when you catched me.
I felt a certain enegry.
how my mind came up with different metaphors and similies.
reminding me of music how I could make my own melodies
poetry then became my remedy.
the way my pen danced acrossed paper was like magic
poetry became a passion
and because of it I can do things now that I never imagined.
