Begging for help

This is how I am feeling right here and right now. This pretty much sums up what has been eating me up this afternoon.


My cry for help
---------------------
Got some news
Its easier said
Than it is to practice
Our purpose is out there
It is so hard to wait
To find the purpose
I've talked about waiting
But I honestly
Am not sure what to do
I have reached a point
Where it's hard for me
To grasp the patience
It takes to find it
Is it because
I care more than I should
I can't shake this feeling
Of absolutely
Needing to know
If you have some advice
If you have some ideas
Please
I beg you
Please
Share them with me

This poem was written in high school. I am still and always will be undecided on which version i like best. The first two were written in high school and the last one was written after i had found the poem. I look forward to hearing what you think.

Original
----------
Friendship

Take a slice out of life
And explore new people
Sprinkle it with
A season of smiles
Wait for the harvest
Of the garden of friends
You will end up with a
Lasting friendship

Take a slice out of life
Explore some new faces
Sprinkle
The season
Of smiles
Wait for the Harvest
Of your garden
Of friends
To end up
With
A lasting friendship

Let's shine!

This poem called "Shine" is a new one and one of my favs. It was inspired by the song "Firework" by Katy Perry. I look forward to reading comments.


Shine
-----------
We all have a reason
We all have a purpose
For being in the place we are
We may not understand
But
We need to try to find it
We have to push forward
To be all we can be
We have to do our best
Because that's all
That can be asked
The best way to do this
Is just live
Live every day
To get the full potential
To find understanding
Be all you can be
Do all you can do
Shine like the brightest stars
To find your purpose

When are you there for someone?

What Matters
------------------
Doesn't matter
How long you know them
Doesn't matter
How much you see them

What does matter
Is why you are there
What does matter
Is when you are there

Don't have to know them
For a lifetime
Don't have to see them
Every day or every month

Just gotta be there
When the time is right
For whatever the situation is
Just gotta be there
When the opportunity is available.

What does friendship mean?

True friendship is an awesome thing. This poem was on my mind for a while. This is also one of my favorites. It is the first poem ever to be written due to inspiration from a friend. I am glad this friend liked it and now I can share it publicly so you can enjoy it also.




What is true friendship?

Being there
Has different meanings
Can be expressed
In some different ways

Being there
Doesn't only mean
Being right next to them

Being there
Can mean
Talking on the phone

Being there
Also means
Chatting online

Friends can be there
For each other
When it matters most

Up the street
Through the state
Across the country
True friends
Are always there
