Cory Long Poet Rhyme

Thanks To My Poetry Soup Friends

keeping to myself all these years,
afraid to show off the talents I hold dear.
Hiding them well within my fears.
I was told writing would get me no where,
I turned around and walked off instead.
Not paying attention to any of them.
I started writing in my head.
Scared about what people would say.
If they seen the feelings that  sprang from my pen.
 looking for a place where I  would fit in
Finding myself at your website one April night.
A master of words, a writer I am.
God gave me a gift  to share.
I wanted to say thanks  to my poetry soup friends.
For supporting my words,
 challenging me, to try  new forms,
And showing me it's ok to open up once more.
