How poetic can you be? Write a short poem about what you see

I walk along

Sad for the earth we have removed for concrete

We want grass for our children but not at the expense of a sidewalk

No matter how we try to destroy

Our earth knows better and pushes its way through

Showing us our mistakes

Bringing new life

We must listen before it stops teaching us,

Love it Donald. X

The Cracks in the Sidewalk

Ghosts ride the depth of my pain,

Unwanted memories they drive me insane.

Through the broken cracks the grass will peak through,

Ease my mind, help me. What do I do?

I call upon You. Release me from this torment,

My heart is broken, my will is bent.

Such sorrow will be my life if I cannot leave,

A crack in the sidewalk green grass deceives.

I cry. The tears fall as a rainbow among my sight,

I burrow under the covers seeking the darkness of night.

Bring me light. Help me, I long to scream,

Shaking heavily, I awake from a horrible dream.

Thank you

Very inspirational

It Only Seems Impossible

Did you ever have a day

when nothing seems to go your way

Everything that you try to do

fails terribly and makes you blue

It's impossible you declare

telling yourself life isn't fair

But then pushing through that concrete

you see that blade of grass

Not letting hard times stop its growth

So you decide to get off your ass

and keep trying until you succeed

A great example and some motivation,

determination was all you really need

So don't give up when times get rough

That is when you just get tough
