Talking Hearts Poem by Samuel Enrique

Often times I have let myself be controlled
Like a fool with no brains, I have been toiled on
I have been cut and hurt
I have been separated from my personality
THAT’S now a past thing,
My decisive self is now on the move!

I am not going to be used, misused and abused
Neither am I going to destroy all who ignored my opinion!
I am going to use this opportunity to deliver my talk
Walking away this time isn’t an option
I scream with bone-tearing brevity
Robust as I am, firmness will be my theme
Ignorance will be pit’s myth

I know I may have fallen
Yeah, many times I must say! But it’s now my time to rise
Competing with the phoenix is my aim!
Like a bat, I won’t cry
I will show the world that a shallow shadow can open a window
ALL that remains is a pale shadow of my past
By time all will be gone
To whoever booed me; continue donning yourself with stupidity
For I will be around when your candle dims on!
