I Am a Poet

With the weight of my family, friends, And priorities on my shoulders, I continually strive on being a better me. As the weight amounts!!! -[[[[------]]]]- I leave my footprints on poetry’s sand, I pace the world looking for inspiration, And on my wonderful poetic journey... I can’t solve divine situations on human logic, I solely rely on resolving them in faithful prayer. Ooooo ( R ) ) / (_ / ooooO ( A ) \ ( \_ ) Ooooo ( U ) ) / (_ / ooooO ( L ) \ ( \_ ) I’m the rose that blossoms alone, I am the thorn that hurts no one. I strive reaching for the sun, While beautifying my surroundings... ......... , . - . - , _ , . ......... ) ` - . .> ' `( ........ / . . . .` . . .. ........ |. . . . . |. . .| ......... . . . ./ . ./ ........... `=( /.=` ............. `-;`.-' ............... `)| ... , ................ || _.-'| ............. ,_|| _,/ ....... , ..... || .' ....... | | ,. ||. .... ,..` | /|.,|Y, .....
