Take My Hand
August 9, 2014
Take my hand, pull me close
Close your eyes, don’t let go oh no
Be afraid, cause fear saves, lives
But don’t scared to lean into my arms
I’m not scared to love you for who you are
If you cry I will cry and we’ll both weep ,together
But don’t you let me go
I know I’m not the person you thought I would turn out to be
Everyday I stare at my reflection and hate what I see
But if the past is all we’ve done
And the present is all that we do
Then the future is all we have to look forward too
So don’t turn your back on me just yet
I know you have a lot of regrets but
With every regret is a lesson learned
And I’m still learning…
im still learning

Thanks for the advice. I leave certain words or lines lower case to symbolize different things like a continuation of a lyric or a display of an emotion. I think i'll have to decide on one or another. thx again for the advice. I really appreciate it!! - Caramel Kisses:}

I love how relatable and heartfelt this piece is. The emotion shines through brilliantly and I could easily connect with it. The only suggestion I have is watch your capitalizaton because it is alittle inconsistent. But overall, I think this is a very powerful poem! Nice work :)

This is amazing. It's full of emotion, honesty/rawness, and also you. It's just amazing. I can't believe that it has only oone comment now making two. I thnk that though there are some people who hurt people more, I think everyone hurts someone. I hurt, you hurt, everyone hurts. We also hurt people, even when we don't and didn't mean to. It's just how part of life it is, kind of. But we're all still learning. That last line in your poem that I love a lot is, "I'm still learning." For it is true, if we let ourselves, we are still learning. I'm still too. Haha, I hope this all makes sense. All in all, your poem is wonderful and full of amazingness. I aboslutely love it, and connect ot it from a rather similar experience.Thank you for sharing this. ^_^
