Compass

A compass is like friends in a dark forest.They say their always there for you.But,like a compass in the dark all they do is turn I. You and mislead you.

The dark forest your trying to escape from is the lies,negativit,and meaningless words spoken.Sketchy,neverending,and overgrown with betrayal.

The river your trying to hear in the distance is for guidance out of the dark forest and into safety.The river is your heart and mind trying to guide you as well.If you listen to your heart and mind and follow it just like the river it will never mislead you.

The empty vacant road you finally found is dark,intimidating,and completely unknown.With every step you take alone you become stronger and you feel safe.You no longer have a reason to look over your back,analyze people's actions,or feel unsafe.

Your path is yours that you must walk alone.Your a lone wolf..You walk alone..You are your pack!

Tabatha, 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 <-@
