I have to write song lyrics for my choir class. However, my teacher said we could write poems, too. So I wrote a poem, seeing as how I don’t think I know how to write a song. Anyway, here’s my poem called Life Goes On;
Look into the dark abyss
This thing that we call life
You wish to scream and pound your fists
You’re filled with lots of strife
Everything is crashing down
The moon and stars and the sun
Your only face is that of a frown
But your journey has only begun
In time, life will be good again
It’ll be happy and joyous throughout
You will live your life with all of your friends
And never scream or shout
Slowly, things are changing
Soon it will be good
Life is rearranging
Tears will no longer flood
Everything happens for a reason
But that reason is not always clear
People may act with treason
But remember, I’m always here
Turn your frown upside down
Prove that your are witty
I tell you that you’re beautiful
But do you believe me?
Life without you
would not be full
Don’t you see?
People will hate you
Bash you
Tear you down
Get back up
Don’t you dare frown
I’ve said it once
Now I’ll say it twice
I’m always here for you
Throughout our lives
I won’t let you go
I’ll show you I care
Everything I say to you
Will be nice, I swear
People love you in every way
Remember that life goes on
It does every day

I feel like the entire goal of the poem was for the words to rhyme, rather than the actual meaning behind them. Along with this, the direction of the poem isn’t concise, and there are several times when the poem resorts to cliche and loses strength. These are all signs of an amateur poet, so I recommend writing a few poems. Write some that rhyme, some that don’t, some short, some longer, some that have choppy styles, and some that flow, etc. After or I don’t doubt that you’ll discover what kind of poem writing you like and are good at, and you can run with that one.
I hope I helped, good luck! 🙂
