Failing isn’t a option
By: Yasmin Moreno
I want this to poem to show how I struggle to write poems but never gave up just how Romeo and Juliet struggled to be with each other
Attempt 1
Even though
There are barriers between us
I try to stay away
But the wind is pushing
Me towards you
Promise me that
You won’t leave me
Without your love
I will give you
My heart
But
You got to promise me
That
You will
Love me way pass
Forever
Attempt 2
Hours
Minutes
Seconds
Someone is dragging
There feet
Leaving footprints
That stain the dirt
With uncarved scars
My mind over flowed
With questions
Yet no answers
There skin shedding pain
1st teardrop
Leaving my country
2nd teardrop
Thinking no one will love me
3rd teardrop
Not knowing if I will survive
Attempt 3
Beyond the boundaries of our restricted life
Our love and happiness
Is near in our
Heart
Or even
miles away
It doesn’t matter
What we share is something
That
Can’t be broken
To the point where we don’t even have to communicate
Because our hearts will be
Doing the talking for us
I want to be so close to
You that our lips can dance
In perfect harmony
As if we’ve
Rehearses a thousand times before
Our hands holding so tight
My heart doesn’t know
How to beat anymore
Our souls get tangled
Because everytime we gaze into each others eyes
It feels like we are floating on a cloud
Beyond the boundaries of our restricted life
