Being around you stirs up so many feelings
That my heart jumps out of my chest and soars
Because you granted it a pair of angel wings
And those saving wings were yours

Your eyes surpass the beauty of the stars
When I gaze into them I lose myself
I forget all of my pain endured scars
Because around me you’re yourself

I don’t care about your past or what you’ve done
Because you don’t pressure me about mine
With me those horrible things are banished and gone
You don’t care that I prefer not to shine

But with you I want to be the best I can be
I’ll shine the brightest just you wait and see

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I'm glad to see, not all your poems look on the dark side. Just saying. Your poem is very powerful, and I'm not kidding. I agree with what you are saying in your poem, all in all, your poem is true. Your poem is part of the Truth, we live in. If that makes any sense at all. Thanks for sharing this, your poem.
