I Can Be

I can be strong I can be smart. I can let no one take my heart . From the challenges I face from day to day. Everyday people will try to tear down my name. For reasons why some unknown. But most are scared to face challenges on there own. They are like angers on your getaway ship. For even if they call me a dip I shall cut the ties and chains. And Sail my way to the promise land. Then reline the ties weld back the chains. But not chains of negativity. Chains of forgiveness. So when im back from my journey. Back from the sea of negativity. It wont be so hard to see whatever I say. I can be..... By: Donny Nelson

Nice poem :D Welcome to poetry soup! Like you, I too am new in this site. I would just like to correct you in your 6th line. "There" should be changed to "their". Don't worry because this is a very common mistake. I also make the same mistake sometimes. That's about all; welcome once again and check out my poems if you have the time ^_^
