I Once Was Poem by Chris Clingman
I Once Was
I once was a kid
but now i am a teen
i used to love to laugh
and now i hardly smile
i once was a fighter
but now i am a lover
i will turn away a fight
unless you attack my heart
i once was a pup
but now i am a wolf
as i work to build my mind
i also work to build my strength
i once was a firey blaze
but now i am a cooling ember
i used to burn with hate
but now i burn with love
i once was an artist
but now i am a poet
i used to draw how i felt
but now i write how i feel
wow, this is amazing. i love your creative style of writing. keep writing, you rock at it.
Really good. It really shows how you are changing from being 'hard' to something moldable and loving.10++
We all change hopefully for the better, life teaches us so much! Great rhythm and flow, Excellent write!
Great show of your transformation. I can relate with basically all of it. I especially liked the last stanza.
We should never burn with rage but always with love, for that is what the great Lord has given us. I can also relate to this poem and you take my breath away with your works. Keep on going...
