4.It is what it is
5.Autobiography of a metal lock

Here's my second poem

@rida I wrote it in google docs. The font is Animistic

3rd poem:

Ooh Colour of life is such a positive lovely poem! The colourful text and the rhyming scheme match the theme of the poem really nicely, it adds to the bright upbeat feeling c: I especially like the lines "How to turn yourself / Into a colourful shape" and "a song of bee". Keep up the good work! <3

It is what it is

It is what it is
You try extremely hard
To change each and everything
But, you can't

Let me be myself
I am tired of being the replica
Of someone who is not me
‘Follow him– follow her’
NO, I want to follow myself

I want to follow my dreams
My heart is my guide
You can't change it
You can't make me
Follow all those people

Can you tell me
Why were they popular?
They did something unprecedented
I don't want to be famous
But I want to follow my guide
And do something
Which can satisfy me at least

I don't want to satisfy any other person
But they want me to
Follow each and every word of them
Even if they make me die
Even if they pierce my heart.

But, don't worry
They will not be able to succeed
It is what it is
They will not be able to change me
Until my heart allows.

Hey NaPo buddy!! You've got a couple more great poems here! c:

It is what it is is definitely a very relatable poem for a lot of people! Everyone experiences getting told what to do or how to behave at some point in their life, and it can definitely feel frustrating <3 I think my favourite lines from this one are "Let me be myself / I am tired of being the replica / Of someone who is not me" !

And Autobiography of a metal lock has such a cool background! I love how rusty and crumbling it looks, but also like it's been there forever and will be there forever if that makes any sense haha c: The lines "When men hit me with rocks, / Still I bear the pain..." portray the loyalty and determination of the lock really well!

Keep up the good work Forever!

Hey Forever, Alice here!!!

I really like the last poem, I like how it's kind of emotional but at the same time a metal lock saying this is hilarious. I wonder, how you came to write such a unique poem.

The poem- It is what it is - is very very ture and ofcouarse everyone can relate with it. It has such great emotions, you got me in the feels.

Good luck for the rest of the month!
