I tried to hold day
It did not stay
I tried to steal time
I missed many times
I tried to boost self image
But failed short of page
People knew of its intensity
It was all in futility
I lack
Power to stake
Claim no noble things
It is nice quality I think
I have stopped
Mad adventure to stoop below
Now I maintain dignity
As ordinary man’s capacity
I speak controlled language
Shrewdly explain and manage
That keeps many people away
I choose my own way
I have loved and liked
And many things disliked
I love to be among my people
Who daily work hard and struggle
Beautiful Just Another_man25 minutes ago yu are a mastered of your words... great job Comment +1
Average Charlene Flanagan23 minutes ago I always believe that poetry, in essence, should never be edited. However, if you choose to write in a language that you're not very comfortable in, I would strongly recommend you review it before you post it. The message is powerful. And the line I speak controlled language is proof that one does need to review his/her work. I don't mean to be harsh. The poem is beautiful. What ruined it for me is the obvious language errors.
