For as long as I can remember,
I have seen nothing but darkness,
Shadowing over me,
Keeping me from breaking down my walls,
From letting anyone in,
And from falling in love,
Something has changed,
Now I have hope,
I have dreams,
And I have happiness,
For as long as I can remember,
I have been blind,
From the rest of the world,
Surrounding myself in sorrow,
Suffocating from my thoughts,
That want so desperately to be heard,
Something has changed,
Now I have opinions,
I have feelings,
And I have a voice,
For as long as I can remember,
I have not known how to love,
But now I do,
Something has changed,
And it's because I have you.

This poem is important to me because I never used to write about being in love, only experiencing heartbreak.

Thanks! :) This poem is very special to me and I appreciate you taking the time to comment :) And I'm glad you can relate to it. I don't only write poetry for myself, but for others that share the same story.

Beautiful poem! I know how you feel about not  write about being in love. I can really relate to this poem, I always have my walls up so no one can hurt me, when I let it down I feel like problems will come. However, after realizing my wall had fell down before I even knew it, I see how much I have right in front of me. It's a really sweet poem. I love the last line. Very sweet!

This was a beautiful poem! I loved your voice, and the way you structured this piece. The last sentence was incredibly powerful, and I couldn't help but go 'aww, how sweet'! :) Well done!
