Freedom Of Free Verse

its funny how in a america there is freedom of speech
and funny how in literature there is poetry
and funny how in poetry there is free verse

as an american i will excercise my right to speak
as a poet i will excercise my right to write
so lets begin

in the deepest corner of my mind lies lies
in the open space of my heart lies truth
in the unknown regions of my emotions lies insecurity
in the well known valleys of my attitude lies commitment

i be whom i should be and change for no one
i write what i feel and not what you want me to feel
i think what is for me to think and care nothing of what you think
i cry when i feel and not when you think you've made me feel

you whom are there have taught me
you are the and will disgust
you are there and will discuss me
you are there and will learn from me
you are there and will follow after me
you are there and will betray me
you are there and will not know me
you whom are the will NEVER control me

truth is in me and that will never change
love is in me and i dont want it to change
life is in me and that will never change
strenght is in me and i dont want that to change
wisdom is in me and i want it to change you
change is in me and that will never change

this talk of new beggining
this talk of love
this talk of truth
all this talk but no action
what a disappointment

WAIT
im not thru

how can you live with yourself
you have defiled yourself:
mind
body
soul
and spirit
what a waste

i dont live for you
i live because i have a purpose
and maybe i dont know what it is yet
but i have faith
and with this faith i beleive
with this faith i walk
physically blinded through swamps of evil
but, I know that GOD is there holding my hand
like a father guiding his daughter.
And like an alligator lurking in the waters
plotting a devious plan
is Lucifer the fallen angel,
waiting for any form of destraction
so that he can continue to corupt.

good luck..
4-leaved clovers
and horseshoes.
bad luck..
black cats
and cracks.
does it really mater
yes i keep in mind your feelings
as well as your sensitivity of your beleifs
but riddle me this
if a black cat with 4-leaved clovers
and cracks in its horseshoes
crosses your path what do you do then...

i think i've figured out me
but how could this be
when it took so long to see
that im here
to release fear
and enlighten your heart
to joy,
help you part
from being the devils toy
at least this is what i've seen in me so far
maybe this isn't true but how would i know
yeah,
it feels right
then again its not complete
so you now what right now im just going to live

free verse
meaning:
verse that does not follow a fixed metrical pattern.
to me its more of:
expressing without form or basis
well
this was my FREEDOM OF FREE VERSE
a young poet
in the eyes of many im a ticket out the hood
i dedicate this to no one in specific but
to all who have read or listened
and was touched and changed
by words that came
from my heavenly father
through a free verse girl.
