No one is your strength or guidance. If life is what you wish to live then do not bind your soul to something unreal. The creater nor the keeper can heal you for it is blind faith that leads you.

Our souls are strong
But our hearts are weak

One love to the next
Our hearts fall in love
But we don't wear them on our sleeve
Our soul knows when the love is not to be

And so when our hands lock
And my heart does not show on my sleeve
I'm sorry hun but you're not the one for me

Not to be rude
I'm truly sorry to say
But we'll both find someone better one day

Our souls are strong
But our hearts are weak

I'll know when I'm really in love
And have found my meant to be

When my soul puts my heart on sleeve

I like the beginning very much, although I feel the last couple stanzas are quite choppy and random. I think it could be a fantastic poem. Please read, rate, and comment on my poems! Thanks!

We wouldn&#039;t ask a rose that grew from the concrete for having damaged petals; in turn we&#039;d all celebrate its tenacity, we&#039;d all love tz will to reach the sun well we are the roses n these are my damaged petals don&#039;t ask me why thank God and ask me how

well from what you've put about yourself I think if you want to make a career of writing..i think you're quite a good writer but you can do waay better! I think this poem starts off amazing but idk towards the end I just don't see the amazing i saw at the start..if that makes sense. And hope you are not offended. 
Please check out my poem Ghosts of the Past i would love your feedback so please leave a comment. 
And again no offense.. peace.
