REINCARNATION
Location
Since age seventeen
I have dedicated my summer breaks
To searching for the next step.
Each page I swim in is a refresh
To my already worn shoes and so,
I continue to drink these words
With hopes of reinforcing my worn down soul.
In my quest for consistency,
I have remedied falsehood with abandonment.
The future belongs to those who are bold
In letting go of the past.
My father once looked me in the eyes
That I had bruised with my very own thoughts and said:
"I love ME"—
Those 3 words are a record I have broken.

I know what you mean. When you say "I am broken" that is. It's like when you feel alone and you become dependent on yourself and no one tells you what's been done right or wrong.
Your words are almost inheritable, they sway like a wave when the breeze moves.

You write beautifully.
I would be honored if you'd take a look at my first poem. I've never really written before. It seems to come more naturally than other things for some reason. I entered the Speak Your Mind Scholarship. I'm just looking for some feedback if you have time to spare. :)
Thank you!

I think we have to follow all instructions properly, if we want to compete world best educational networks. Select out standing team for your online educational task and try to work hard on vipessayservice.net thesis writing service because competition level is too much high. After three months our network will touch our targets if we apply unique techniques.
