“I Believed”


I believed, that if I wrote it all down,
and spread my emotions all around,
that if others could read what was in my heart,
they might not feel so alone, so distant, or apart,

I believed, that in my poetry I could show,
I too have been there, and I know,
What they are feeling and where they have been,
Because I’ve felt their pain and I remember when,

I believed, that my joy could bring a smile,
In the words I wrote, I believed all the while,
That the love I felt was one to share,
And my poetry was a way to show I care,

I believed, that God was true and just,
To express that in my poetry was a must,
But God is not fair, or just as it seems,
If you believe he is, your living in dreams,

Of all the things that I have believed,
my hopes and dreams that I have conceived,
the thought that anyone would care to know,
or want to read of the feelings I show,

I believed, Like any fool would do,
I believed, That my words were important to you,
I believed, That my poetry would ease an others pain,
But even for me the feelings remain,

I believed, my words would do some good,
That if I could help I new I should,
I believed, Like a fool in a fantasy land,
that my words would somehow give a helping hand,

I believed, In myself cant you see,
I believed, in my poetry,
I believed, In me!!!
