Not All Poems Rhyme

This is actually a song I wrote but I think it works well as a poem too, so here it is: I grab my pencil crayon and begin to shade Everything that's in my head I could draw well and let all my emotions fade But I'll draw what I want instead If I was neat enough, and If I was sweet enough, then They would never think to say Colour within the lines, oh Blend in and you'll be fine, cos Who wants to stand out anyway?  I grab my paintbrush and the canvas starts to show Everything that's in my mind And though I can't draw well, the colours seem to glow With all the feelings that I find Though I'm not neat enough, and Though I'm not sweet enough, I Still won't listen when they say Colour within the lines, oh Blend in and you'll be fine, cos Who wants to stand out anyway?  I'm not that good At drawing what I'm meant to on a page But I know that I could Draw it anyway and I know that I wo...

Here is another song. The road is winding and the light is dying out And I keep finding myself drowning in the doubt Will I ever find anyone out here? But I keep walking this way, year after year And one day, I’ll find my way back home And I’ll stay, even if I stay alone There’s gotta be a way, nothing’s ever set in stone  And though the path may lead to nowhere, at least I will have known At least I will have known Another night where there is nobody I know I wander though I don’t know where I’m meant to go I’m still lost without a soul to guide me back Someone please save me or I’ll end up way off track But one day, I’ll find my way back home And I’ll stay, even if I stay alone There’s gotta be a way, nothing’s ever set in stone  And though the path may lead to nowhere, at least I will have known At least I will have known Somebody find me, Somebody save me now Somebody guide me I think I’m lost right now I think I’m l...

I wrote this poem for National Poetry Day. Free as the wind The wind in her hair Born thick-skinned Because a kid doesn’t care A kid doesn’t think  What the others will say A kid doesn’t shrink ‘Cos she just wants to play Wants to play with her mates And she won’t let it go If they want to decide on her fate She’ll say “no” “I can be who I want And there’s no way to stop it There’s no way that I’m not Flying off in a rocket One day when I’m grown And you’re stuck on the ground  I’ll be zooming through space Where there’s no-one around ‘Cept the sky, and the stars And the nothing I love And the things that there are In that space high above ‘Cause I’m gonna be there And you’ll still be stuck here And I never will care No, it’s not you I fear I can be who I want And you bet that it’s true Do you see that I’m not  Going to listen to you?” She’s free as the birds The birds in the sky So whatever you heard,...
