My Heart Speaks

Through this life of experience

I've come to believe with great evidence

That I am a vessele through which emotions flow



If I'm subjected to more pain than affection

Then my life would have a negative projection

And with coldness my heart will grow



With a cold heart I'm subceptible to sin

With all the grief I hold within

And my mind then becomes a dangerous place



For all the things I choose to do

The consequences will come along too

And these repercussions I am then left to face



So when my heart speaks, my mind must listen

My eyes must see a different vision

For the things I do determines what I will become



But if my eyes can't see, or my mind comprehend

And those negative emotions still grow within

Then my purpose for life will be left undone

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This happens to be the first poem I've ever written. I was in high school. It was an assignment, and was the spark that made me realize my potential as a poet.

Brilliant, I am so impressed with your sense of responsibility amidst the struggles derived from a painful and emotional challenged life. Often times The character developed through lack of love from others makes us better prepared to deal with life and develop a stronger sense of self love despite our imperfections. I pray that life has been more positive for you as an adult or that you have developed a resistance to the unfortunate outsiders whom neglect to see your value. Loving yourself is therapy against the often unfair/cruel world.


Every day we witness is a blessing, desipite the outcome!
