Every day

This is one of my favorite poems by my favorite poet Emily Dickinson. I think I am the only person I know that likes to read and write poetry. I know a lot of people actually hated it in high school. This poem expresses how I feel and how I try to live my life every day. If I can just make the most minuscule difference in someone else's life or day...that would mean everything to me. I love to just be there for people when they need someone most or show that there are still decent people in the world that will do nice things for a complete stranger. Just talking about all of this really makes me want to watch Pay It Forward(good movie). In a nutshell, I really just love to help. Most of you should know that much about me.

Poetry has been in my life for as long as I can remember. When I was younger I wrote poems about my mom which she still has. In junior high I remember writing my first "serious" poem about silence. In junior high I started to write a lot. I have written some of the weirdest poems ever! When I think about those ones I also think they could become silly poems for kids. I tend not to share my poems for the most part because they are very personal to me. I have shared a selected few in the past. I wrote one instantly after I found out my best friend had passed away in 2003, you can read it here. If you want to see some others leave a comment or message me. I guess poetry is my outlet for whatever it is I may be feeling. If something ever happens to me I would want someone to locate all my poems and possibly publish them in a book for people in my life that would want them or people in general who knows.

Even though I might not have a hand to hold, there will always be a pen.
