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 🙂
