I’m Leaving My Mark

Velvet Moon
In this strange little world 

See, it’s these poems that I’ve kept on writing 

Ever since I felt both young and free 

But the road has not been clear, like one might assume 

Several times there’s been opposition  

And some form or other of contradiction 

However, I have determined to be sturdy and firm 

Like some great rock 

No matter what I won’t stop 

Writing the poems that give me hope 

For it’s in my control to respond 

And this writers pen will not cease 

Simply because there’s one small piece that offends another 

They can get over it and move on 

Just like I can ignore what they said that was wrong
