A noisy room,
conversation galore.
Gossip is flowing,
paper air planes sore.

Writing is hard,
when pressured with noise.
The voice of the teacher,
the girls and the boys.

But today is different,
I feel free to write.
The noise is inspiring,
it turns on my light.

As everyone’s talking,
I begin to think…
What would I do
if I ran out of ink?

The paper’s my friend,
the ink is my voice.
The pen in my hands
is my weapon of choice.

No I’m not a nerd.
And no I’m not a fighter.
I thought I was a talker,
but I seem to be a writer.

One of the very first poems I have ever written.
I started to write in English class, while a supply teacher was strggling to teach us....... I wish I could tell you.

&ldquo;Yes I love him. I love him more than anything else in this world and there is nothing that I would like better than to hold on to him forever. But I know it&#039;s not for the best. So no matter how much my heart is going to break, I&#039;ve got to let him go so he can know just how much I love him. Maybe if I&#039;m lucky, he&#039;ll come back, but if not, I can make it through this.&rdquo;

I couldn't have said it better! Writing is wonderful and don't you dare let anyone make you think otherwise. Keep it up! You can say whatever you want.
