Stand Up
When you feel you’ve been knocked down
Stand up and put your feet on the ground
Look your disaster in the eye
You know you wanted this
Or you wouldn’t have tried
It’s giving up that’ll win
If you sit back down, again
Stand up and do the hardest
Thing you ever had to do
Stand up and look yourself in the mirror
And know that it’s worth it
If it means being true to you
If it’s a dream you always had
Stand up and realize
The good is worth the bad
There is always going to be
Hard times ahead
Make it worth it by standing up instead
Stand up and do the hardest
Thing you ever had to do
Stand up and look yourself in the mirror
And know that it’s worth it
If it means being true to you

This sends out a good message and it's written with a more fluid feel to it. It ebbs and flows with such persition. I loved it.

Instead of posting several poems in a row, try writing only one a week, then revising it, then taking it to your POETRY PROFESSOR for suggestions, the revising it some more, and some more, then in a few weeks revise it some more. Then maybe when you post it on here (why would you at that point), it might *earn* its praise.
This is one of those examples of relentless postings I was talking about earlier. Try reading 50 contemporary poems from contemporary poetry magazines for every ONE you write. That'll teach you more than you can ever hope to gain by posting and posting and posting online and that's it.

Just sit down and shut your gob
you really make me down
just put your feet
upon the road
and get on out of town
Its not that I don't like your prose
It could be good as gold
I'm just tired
of listening
Its all just a wee bit old
So sit on down its easy as pie
your knees just gotta bend
drop your bum
toward the floor
this poem's at an end.

that is really good. i write storys and poems, but here is a heads up: i would never put mine on here, some people could take them and claim them as their own. you have no proof until their copyrighted. once again, its great!
