It Seem
By TO
It seem like I only can write about love
Cause I love too much
I didn’t know love make you feel like you’ve been struck
Struck by lightning and make you die
I didn’t know love make you cry
The only way I don’t stress
Is when I’m prayin’ and writing some kind of poem
I wanna be outside but not in no storm
It seem like I’m down and out
When I should be up and about
It seem like love ain’t for me
It like love ain’t ‘pose to be
Love hurt but people act like they can’t see
It seem like life upside down
Or like some people are clowns

Love is there for a reason, sometimes people write about what their heart desires and for you it seems that your heart has the desire for love. Love is one of the Most Important feelings and Actions. Don’t give up. It Will Get Better! You just have to make it happen by turning your life around and learning from your past mistakes and other people’s mistakes too.
I think when we love or feel some type of way it is indicative of life inside our hearts. Being able to love is one sign of a mature person. So many of us are taught to repress our feelings. It is so inspirational to me that you are channeling these intense feelings to produce something as powerful as this poem.
Thank you.
You are such a talented writer, I love this! And love comes in a variety of forms, so even if the romance department sucks right now, you’ve got your family and your friend who love you. Even those who are helping you get your words out there to touch the world, they love you too! Hang in there and keep your pen to paper 🙂
The rhythmic feeling of your poem is so satisfying and powerful. You are a very talented person and this is something that should be shared everywhere. You encapsulated many people’s feelings of love, it is something we all want to feel or want to have, but when it’s not there or the way we want to feel it it hurts. It hurts very badly, love can make you feel so down. You write very maturely and I can tell this is real and from the soul. Keep writing , you have such a pure talent!
