My Firsts!

So, since I'm on vacation, I figured it be a good time to share something with you. Today I will be sharing some poetry... that I wrote... myself. I've only been writing poetry for about a month, maybe more, so I'm not very good yet. So far, I've only tried free verse, and the following two poems are the first ones I've ever written. I hope you like them. :)

All Those Times

All those times

We laughed at the stars,

And how they could not decide

Whether to shine or not.

When really,

It reflected the choice

We struggled to make ourselves.

Can I show my true colors,

The real me

I want so desperately

For someone to understand?

Or will I be rejected,

Tossed aside

And once again

Labeled nothing, trivial?

I feel as if

It will never end.

Maybe it will always

Be this way.

They say that

Some things never change,

And maybe that is true.

But I have to believe

That one day,

I will find my light,

Just like one of those stars.

And I will shine

For all I am worth,

For I have found

My place in the night sky.

Hiding

Hiding,

You are hiding

Something.

By why?

Have I not done enough

To gain your trust?

I have shared so much

About myself.

And even though

You have too,

I feel that there is still

So much more.

So much more that

Not even the closest to you

Has seen.

You keep your true self

Under lock and key.

For such a warm

And caring person,

You seem to be suspicious

About everyone

And everything.

But let me tell you

One thing,

And that is,

You can be yourself

With me.

What about you? Do you like poetry? Do you write poetry, or at least tried to?
