[hometext] => The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one... this is not about one person... but more about the many who are out there in the world living on broken promises... empty dreams
[bodytext] => Broken promises... empty dreams In her early life that's all she's seen As she tries to cope with everything All the pain she holds deep inside It's to that which she clings... and hides To help her find the inner peace She has longed and hoped for Aside from these broken promises... empty dreams She tries to be strong... She tries to be brave... When she says there's nothing's wrong... she's okay She's just hoping to come through this early part of her life unscathed But on the inside... it's a strain Just to keep a smile on her face All the while... she would just rather breakdown and cry But she puts on the best smile of her inner child To greet the unsuspecting world as a new day is unfurled Her eyes... the windows to her soul... bears all that is held deep... all that is untold Those things that she tries to hide... With just one look... one glimpse inside... All is told in her life Everything is laid bare for all the world to look upon The pain... the hurt... the strain of these broken promises and empty dreams They streamroll through her life like a long forgotten black train in the middle of the night The broken promises... empty dreams They lay in pieces... discarded and strewn Wadded up and thrown away like yesterday's news Pieces of her young life... wasted and ruined Because love was not shown to her... Just anger and pain... No self- esteem... no worthiness about her has she retained She's lived her life on broken promises... empty dreams Yet... she's strong... but even the strong become weak Yet... she's brave... but even the brave have fears As she somehow keeps those promises tucked away and hidden Somewhere in a far away dream She just cries her silent... lonely tears She doesn't know it... but maybe someday will She lifts me high with the love that she shows 'Cause she the wind beneath my wings She helps me keep my life composed And gives flight to my dreams... as she encourages me [comments] => 5 [counter] => 391 [topic] => 48 [informant] => kidpoet_213 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
