NAKED.
ON STAGE,
IT WAS. . .
god's VOICE WRITTEN IN
RED INK ACROSS MY CHEST.

THESE WORDS.
ARE MYSTERIOUS
THINGS. . .
they. GLORIFY THE PAST.
they. VALIDATE THE PRESENT.
they. INSPIRE THE FUTURE.

A BLANK PAGE IS A WORLD OF HURT.
A BLANK PAGE IS A WORLD OF LIARS AND THIEVES.
A BLANK PAGE IS A WORLD OF DICE THROWERS AND SWORD SWALLOWERS.
A BLANK PAGE IS A WORLD ENDLESS GOODBYES AND UNSAID HELLOS.

  1. Check this out! I am not sure that if its the words that i especially like, although it is cleverly worded, but i definitely do like the format on how this poem was arranged. But there are some interesting phrases that are provided in the poem.

  2. I really like your style. Innovation is a big part of creativity, and while the rest of us seemed to write in one certain style, you wrote in a different one giving us more thought, diversity and inspiration. I'm glad you're in our class.
