Different Poetry

There is something different about the poetry 
 that i see written here within the  pages.

Not all poetry can be the same,
 some words are etched in fire and rage
 while others thrive in peace and joy of simply being,
 then there are those that rise slowly from the shadows.

Within our souls are the burning, glowing embers
 of lost youth and adolescence struggling to get out
 and rise above the pain and pettiness
 hidden in our dreams, emotions and desires.

To be more than who and what we are
 held deeply in the hopes that in the end
 we are content
 with who we have become.
