Legacy

Folder: 
Old poems

I wish to leave sometimes behind
a legacy 4 all mankind.
To one day be opened, to one day be found
to always be passed around.
For all to read for all to see
who i was and what i got to be.
To show everyone at last
what its like in the past.
To live their lives the best way how
to learn from the lies all around.
To see the mistakes I made yesturday
and have them be fixed all today.

awesome :) wow reading this

awesome :) wow reading this sent back memories of my first poem. (The Soul) was such a play on words wasnt even funny, but looking back at my first couple of poems to my last, I smile with the level of progression shown in them, and I see this in your work too. if you continue to write, continue to express your raw emotions, you will see a level of creativity that would surpass even me :) keep writing!! never let anyone discourage you otherwise.

That's a cute poem! And your

That's a cute poem! And your first one? I'm sooo honored to be able to have read this! I don't remember what my first poem was =(

Unfortunately, another round of grammar police: "I wish to leave sometimes behind; a legacy 4 all mankind.; To one day be opened, to one day be found; to always be pasted around."
First, did you mean to say sometimes? or did you mean, like, something??
Second, "to always be pasted around." Did you mean 'passed'??
Sorry! Couldn't help myself! .>.<. !

Thanks. Yes i was my 1st poem ever. My language arts teacher Ms.Falotico got me started when we did a coffee house to cover poetry. It was my 1st time doing poems,and it grabbed me and stuck to me. lol.

No not something, sometimes, like sometimes i want to leave something behind, but i played with the words, and i was in 8th grade, i wasnt that good at grammer. lol. and im leaving this poem the way it is. Its orginal. and as for pasted, yes i ment passed.
