The world could be a lovely place, If we would let it be
The world could be a lovely place, If only we could see
What we’re really doing when we make someone cry
There are so many people who just want to die
We scorn them; we ruin their lives
They want to cut themselves with knives
Can’t we be kind?
Stop tormenting that kid’s mind
I think we should love these people as the one who loves us
We should not fight, mock, or fuss
They have as much right as you or I
To live free of fear that we will make them cry
The world could be a lovely place, If we would let it be
The world could be a lovely place, If only we could see
I will choose to love them, just to let them be
For they are the ones who can really see
What a lovely place the world could be
Very nice. It had a good message, and I like how it stayed mostly simple and somber instead of going into those “Waaah humanity is a horrible monster and doesn’t deserve to exist” tangents poems like these often do. And I agree, for the most part.
That’s a lovely poem, IncredigirlVirginia. It’s simplicity means the message is all the more potent, and once again your use of a strong rhyming scheme keeps it flowing really well. You’re quite the poet!
Oh, and I’ve moved this to the Non-Pixar Art section of the forums as that’s probably the best place for this thread.
This is for my best friend’s birthday, so don’t stone me!
The Best Girl I’ve Ever Met
You’re always nice to everyone, even when you shouldn’t be
I wish I could be nice like you, and not so much like me
You always give everyone a second chance
You shower everyone with acceptance
It’s true, I wish I was like you, but not in jealousy
It’s in admiration, because you’re wonderful, you see
It’s your birthday, I hope it’s great
Because you’re so special, you deserve happiness on this date
I hope one day you’ll see
Just how much you’ve helped me
Just by being my friend
You’ve made me a better person in the end
I love you, as though you were my own sister
You’ve shaken me up, like a twister
You’ve impacted my life as much as anyone I know
I hope one day I can come to help you so
So, what I mean is you’re the greatest friend I’ve ever had
I wouldn’t trade your friendship for anything, that would truly be bad
I hope your birthday is wonderful
I hope it’s really swell
I can’t give you any present as great as you letting me be your pal
I don’t think I’ve even seen this thread before! Aww, the poems are lovely. I was very moved by the poem for your best friend because I know the feeling exactly. They’re wonderful.
