A friend wrote a cool line in my poetry group and I used it as my first sentence. It’s about how not letting people get in your way in life. She said she likes it a lot.

Why must wce live in a world full of hatred and jealousy

Live your live

You do you and watch me do me

-by Jalisa IsnHer Feel’nsForreal

But if you close your eyes I won’t mind much at all

Stay in the dark and plug your ears when you’re next to me

You’ll only miss out on how a peasant became king

Petty jealousy of little things while I’m moving on to bigger things

You might get in my way in the day but can’t stop my dreams

We won’t stop

As we try and make you fall in love

With every line, every word, and every letter

For better or for worse

Poetry is to have and to hold

Like we marry your memory

Read me keep me

Sinking deeply in seas of phrases

Until you can look through a skull

And see where the brain is

Trying to get famous

Focused on that mind set

Moving opposition out of mind

As if I’m a psychic

Who ever doesn’t like it

My condolences to you

Your heart is heavy as a rock

Watching mine float like a balloon

In a celebration of people

That feel these words

And we won’t stop

Even if your feelings are hurt

-continued by Lloyd Emery (Razorwind)
