Bringing Power and Change

Bringing Power and Change

Some things have always been scary
Like spiders, snakes, heck, even raspberries
But other things are scary too
Like the things that push me down, until I break
That have so much force they cause my wake
As I sit here and ponder all of these things
I wonder what they all can bring

Society has made me build up my walls
Then it breaks them down without a problem
So much force that could be beautiful
But no good is done to make things better
To make things different 
To make things into somethings
I wonder what that could bring

People become royalty in their own school
While the other kids are left in a pool
A pool of nothing, invisibility
While the royalty is found, swimming in glamour
They have so much power and force
But they do nothing to sway the pool
To change what the pool could do
To change something
And see what it could bring

Alas, these people bring nothing
Except for some
Some of these people get it
But others stay numb
Numb with their power
That they could use to bring
So much more 
Than just nothing

Megan, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
