A Poem I wrote

[lisah]

Young man there is heaven or hell after you die

Keep it in mind!

Then just keep that in mind
when you're being a jerk

or simply unkind.

So this is a poem I wrote in bed at like 2 AM over the summer. I couldn't stop thinking so I decided to just put it in the words, got an idea to make a poem, and went with it. It took me a total of like 5 minutes. I'm posting this because I still really like it and have no other place to post it, and.. yeah.. maybe someone else will find that they share the same thoughts. I would normally feel embarrassed at this type of thing, but then I realized, the worst that can happen is someone doesn't like it. I can live with that. Oh i forgot to mention this was my fist poem I've ever wrote, I quite enjoyed reading it the day after, let me know if maybe I should start writing some more of these.  

I look up and the starry night I can see

When I leave earth what will be left of me?

In all the books, we're told earth is our destiny,

Yet I can't help but wonder what lies in the galaxies.

How will I stand out as an individual human being?

Will I act on creativity and ideas exempt from fear of completing?

How shall I live unconcerned with others conceding?

What is life without ever taking a beating,

For fear of public recognition is only self-defeating

What is the purpose, if never looking for deeper meaning.

So alas, I look up at the night sky and must ponder the stars

For every hardship I face, I am reminded who we are

A product of evolution, and we've come so far

What only concerns myself will keep me barred

So when I die I know impact was made, if I could manage to change the stars.

I really like it!

I miss the days when I was inspired to write. Keep writing!
