Just Showing My Appreciation

I have never came out of the closet about my passion for poetry
People consider it a waste of time and a step backward to failure 
that cannot bring in a steady income and cannot make life worth living
So when I took up my pen and wrote my first poem and then share it publicly 
with complete stranger and with the love and support that I have receive it give me
back the feeling and passion that I once hid away and for that I thank you

Poem for me is the only way I know how to express my feeling without shame
It is a way to escape within my thought, emotion and dreams
Taking up a pen and just writing how I feel is something special and unique
and I have hid the one thing that makes me whole and alive; so when stranger 
who seem so nice and sincere can tell me and show me how proud they are 
it clears all doubt and for that I thank you

When I first found this site I was shock to know that I have found a place to call home 
where my words can be publicize and not just seen as words without meaning 
but shows potential of a girl who just want to do the one thing she loves
and poetry soup have given me a place to feel comfortable and finally be happy
so to all the members who have read my poem " crush" and leave such warm comments
and also for my future friends this poem is for you because 
I just want to show my appreciation as I bow and once again say
                                            Thank you!
                                                                                                                  K. Armstrong

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
