Is anyone really good at finding similar poems?

Question

ok, so i have to find a poem similar to this one:

The Voice

There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel that this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, or friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you---just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.


~~Shel Silverstein

ps doesn't have to be by the same poet!

Oh, here's a funny one for those in school. it's by Jack Prelutsky

Homework

Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you
Away in the sink,
If only a bomb
Would blow you to bits
Homework! Oh, homework!
You’re giving me the fits.

I’d rather take baths
With a man-eating shark,
Or wrestle a lion
Alone in the dark,
Eat spinach and liver,
Pet ten porcupines,
Then tackle the homework
My teacher assigns.

Homework! Oh, homework!
You’re last on my list,

I simply can’t see
Why you exist,
If you just disappeared
It would tickle me pink.
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!

Answer 1

This is nowhere near as good as Silverstein's, as a matter of fact I think it's soppy, BUT it's on the same topic:

Good luck!

PS - found another one --

The Voice Inside

You can do it! You know you can.
You can be afraid…do it anyway.
Go ahead and laugh, it makes you less nervous.
Why on earth did she say THAT?
Just because she said it doesn't mean it's true.
I love you, you are beautiful.
One step at a time, be patient.
Push yourself a little harder, find out what max is.
Pace yourself, life is long…
Make it fun. Look for the humor, it's there.
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing BIG!
My voice is my biggest fan.
My inner voice gets very loud when I begin to lose hope.
My inner voice is the sound "me love" makes
You can do it…you know you can.
My inner voice makes me smile in a quiet room
She has a great sense of humor.
