"When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave the world wondering how you did it".


My Greatest Fear
Everything has turned into a never ending space,

Nothing could be sensed beyond this pitcher of despair,

No friends, no family, no matter of heart

For the existence thereof has gone elsewhere.


My overwhelming peace, sanctity, and joy,

Has now cracked away to the dust all around,

Those who surrounded me with protection and love, 

They all have been lost among those of the ground.

 

 

Notes
So much depends

Upon clearly capped words,

Written in decorative design

Just to appease the eye.


On basic beauty of the 

Straight laced letters and

Purposely perfected line.


So much depends

Upon the all around affection

That wraps around my mind.


It all comes down to 

the overall costly composition

Of the beautiful, overdue chore.


The author's comments:

    These two poems were written for an assignment for my Computational Literature class. Our job was to write poems, that's kind of it other than we had to incorporate some certain skills in them. My first poem titled "My Greatest Fear" is about, you guessed it!, my greatest fear. I wrote in a way that my goal was for the reader(you), to be able to feel what my greatest fear is. My greatest fear is to be in a place in life where no one loves me, and no one cares for me. Where I am practically alone. I love people, so it would honestly destroy me. 

    My second poem is titled "Notes", and it is about notes. I am in school right now, so I have to take a LOT of notes, especially in my history class where we get around 2-3 assigned notes we have to do and then take a quiz on them. I am very particular on how my notes are written, and my goal is that you can feel and sense what I do when I right in my tidy, neat, aesthetic way that always makes me smile! 

    I hope you enjoy both of my poems! Have a wonderful read, and an amazing rest of your day!
