    Girl that I am yet to be

     The rain on the windowpane
    is nothing compared to the noise of my pain
    And as I drown deep inside from the emotions that I hide
    I sense there is another part of me
    A girl that I am yet to be

    Why should I have to cry every night cause deep inside
    I am caught in a web of despair
    Why can't I just be free
    I want to ride the waves of liberty
    And become that girl that I am yet to be

    I want to listen to my own heart
    I want to make my own choices
    I want to feel something other than pain
    I want to smile and be happy
    I want to fly way up to the sky and look down
      and see all that misery beneath me
    I want to be that girl that I am yet to be

    Terrific poem Erica. I love your passion. You really write well for a young person. I am very impressed. Many of my early poems on this site I wrote when I was about your age, some 30+ years ago. You should take a look at them when you have time. Look at Sue (A Cinderella Story) and A Girl I Once Knew. I think you'll like them...Thanks of sharing.. Kevin.

    This is good, however I would say that it doesn't flow so well in the last few lines. Other than that I like the emotion and the feelings that you put into this.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
