My poem.

This is a poem I wrote in about ten minutes. Nothing fancy, but it comes from the deepest part of me and how I feel about this individual.
Not sure if it is ok to post this here, if not just take it off, otherwise, let me know how you like it.

The moment I laid eyes on you it was the the biggest mistake I could have made,
I thought you were the best thing I'd ever met,
I thought you were decent,
I thought you'd treat me right,
I thought you were true blue,
I thought you different from the others and set apart,

You were my world. I was addicted to you.

As time went on I slowly woke up to the truth.

You began to show your true colors.
You are cheap,
You are dirty,
You are low down,
You don't give a care,
You only care about keepin' your swag in tact and don't care who you hurt along the way,
You are not trustworthy.
You think I still love you.

Wake up, boy. I ain't that fragile girl you once knew. I no longer care. You yourself told me to stand up and fight for who I am. Well, this is the new me, not a little girl blinded by love, but I've grown up and learned to be wiser in who I fall in love with.

I've realized I deserve better,
I deserve to be treated like a lady, not just that "chick",
I deserve respect,
I deserve a man with class, not a little boy who still holds on to his swag just because he thinks it's cool and will bring in all the girls.

Most importantly I deserve a man with a heart for God.

So I'm moving on. If you want to stay where you are, be my guest, but you'll regret it in the end.

I regret ever falling in love with you, but it's taught me a lesson---

The moment I laid eyes on you it was the biggest mistake I could have ever made.......

(For that certain individual who I've left behind.)

I actually like it.

nice poem.

Sounds like it came straight from the heart, Julia.

Thank you!

And Rob, it did! You can bet on that!

nice.

Here is my latest poem. It's called, "Is It Worth The Risk".

Your dashing,
Like a knight in shining armor,
Tall and strong you stand,
Gentle and loving you are.

You never fail to put a smile on my face and a flutter in my heart,
You make me forget the others who took advantage of me,
Those who abused me,
For you I know I am falling for fast,
But is it worth the risk?

I try to hide my love away from you,
Act naturally and just go on like nothing is the matter,
When my heart aches and yearns to tell you how I feel,
But my heart has been broken and battered too much,
I've been hurt so many times, I feel that I could not bear to take another blow,
So I reason with myself as tears fall,
Is worth the risk?

Your everything I've dreamed of and hoped for down to every detail.
Is it too good to be true?
The scariest part of falling in love is the falling,
I tell myself I have no chance,
But am I just imagining the things you do that makes me wonder if you feel the same as I?
Please let it be true, true that you do!
Are all these sleepless nights and foggy days I go though just an imaginary hope of a reality?
Should I just keep this all to myself and go on longing forever?
Or will one day come where my longing heart's desire is fulfilled and you come to sweep me off my feet and say you care?

But is it worth the risk?

Lovely, Julia!
