Ok, found poems. Here they are.
So, this made me feel like Ellen Hopkins. Who by the way, is probably my favorite author ever.
Also, these are all from conversations I've had with people on Facebook. Which I guess goes to show why I'm such a fan of that fantastic website.

I think they worked quite well in my opinion....
And, I thought this was incredibly fun. I wouldn't mind more blog posts like these.

Sometimes, people are wrong...
Satan will do whatever he can
To tear you down.
Whether it be through other people
Or through your own thoughts.
He has no authority over you.
He cannot receive revelation for you.
Only YOU know what is right for you.
And YOU are the best judge
On what you can and cannot do.
There may be some validity to his claims, but.
Didn’t people tell Galileo
That he was wrong?
Didn’t people think Einstein
Was crazy?
Didn’t people support Hitler
Killing the Jews?
Didn’t people (and don’t they still) think Joseph Smith
Was a cuckoo brain?
Just because someone else thinks,
It doesn’t make it correct.
It’s what YOU feel in YOUR heart.
It’s the confirmation YOU receive,
When YOU think or pray about it.
Don’t let anyone tell YOU otherwise.
I’m not saying to disregard advice,
Don’t get me wrong.
But,
Don’t take it all as a fact.
Sometimes, people make your day...
I want you to know.
That you have made a difference.
In my life there have been days.
A lot of days.
When I come home.
And feel so low.
I just lay on my floor and cry.
And then I see.
Laugh hysterically not only.
You make me feel.
Truly deeply loved.
You don’t just say you care.
Because it is the right thing to say.
You really care.
About me.
And do all you can.
To let me know that.
That means
So much to me.
Sometimes, people just have a way with words....
Look at praying.
For example,
What if
You had given up?
Think of all the times
We talked and you said
You just couldn’t do it.
What if
You had continued
To tell yourself that?
Or with Provo?
What if you had let yourself
Continue to think that you
Could never get in?
It is at the times
When our trials
are upon us.
When our gaze is directed
To the floor.
That we must be strong.
And lift our head.
Fixating our eyes
On heaven.
Sometimes, people just know what to say.....
In the long run,
Our eternal salvation
Is not based
On the grade we get
In chem, or bio, or even Book of Mormon.
It is based
On our faithfulness, and our ability
To keep the commandments.
By staying strong,
In our spiritual life
We are prepared
For the things in regular life
That will bring us down.
If we make sure
To spend our time
Increasing our testimony,
Heavenly Father will
Magnify our time
In all other things.
Trust in Him.
Follow His promptings
Follow His promptings
And guidance.
And you,
Will never make a wrong choice.
I agree that this was a really fun assignment. :) Just wanted to say I really liked your poems. Not only did you make them into awesome ones, but I appreciated the message in each one. You have some really good conversations :)
