Jadrian Rivera Poet Rhyme

Life

I started in middle school,
A hobby that not very many people thought was cool,
Yet it allowed me say what I couldn’t speak
And has helped me out when times were bleak.

I submitted my first poem through a class,
And waited for the weeks to pass.
I had won the contest,
With a poem of protest.
It was put into a book,
I remember being so excited to look,
And seeing my name on the page.
The people around me saw a talent that would only grow with age.

My aunt bought a bunch of books to give out,
She supported me with all of her heart, I have no doubt.
She was a kind soul,
And for a lot of people, her absence brings a hole

I write this to honor her,
And to remind people that life is a blur
Always cherish the people who helped you get where you are,
Don’t let them grow too far,
Make that call, send that text, keep them in mind,
Before time reminds you that it is not your friend, and it will not be kind
