Poems of Mine

Hello all! I know I don't normally post on Thursdays, due to band practice, but I wanted to make up for the fact that I didn't post on Wednesday. I know that's a "if I have time" day, but lately I've been getting back into poetry, and I really wanted to post some of my recent writings. I hope you enjoy! (Btw: All these poems are written in Iambic Pentameter) I had to write one (the one entitled My Bullies) for Ela, but the rest I just did for fun. Either that, or someone challenged me with a short amount of time and a random topic. It's pretty easy to tell which ones are which.

My Bullies by: Abigail Gurley

I know my battle scars will never heal,
I fear that on my knees you'll make me kneel.
My anger does build slowly, this I know,
and in my heart, my passion it will grow.

Now gone are days in which I'd sit and cry,
Goodbye to days I wished that I would die.
You know that now I won't bow down to you,
The words I say are many, yet a few.

By now I'm finally happy once again
You monsters were my demons, now you're slain.
You used to haunt me daily, and in dreams,
But now I know you'll never hear my screams.

And so to you I say farewell, adieu,
You'll sit in solitude wishing you knew.
I'm free, you see, I'm not controlled by you.
I have but one more phrase to say: we're through.

Champion by: Abigail Gurley

Our peace and solitude is rather rare;
It seems that nowadays we're in despair.
We need a hero NOT with golden hair,
But bravery and strength to lead us there.

They'll come someday; I know it to be true,
But when, I must confess, I have no clue.
They'll ride in as a champion, brave and blue,
Forever free, now this I swear to you.

You've heard their stories, now please just believe;
I hate to say that now I take my leave.
Fear not, my friends, for I will soon return,
Please read these words if ever you do yearn.

Our champion now will be here any day,
But until then I know we'll be okay.
Alas, my friends, for now I say no more,
But in your heart, I know my words you'll store.

A Car Poem by: Abgail Gurley

Toyota does drive on and pave the way,
My Honda does lead me on through the day.

Garbage by: Abigail Gurley

The garbage smells like death and fills the air,
I see that now there's garbage everywhere.


Thanks for reading! Hopefully you liked them, even if a few were a bit goofy. Expect another post tomorrow!

First Official Post!

Hey guys! Last week, I posted my new schedule, but I didn't follow it at ALL! I'm so sorry! I ended up being too busy all week. Since it's Monday (a new week), I'm officially starting it now! Since I missed several posts, I'll try to post multiple upload today. I'm also going to work on writing things in advance.
For those of you who read/check my blog daily/routinely, thanks so much! I'm happy for all the support that you're giving!

That said, I'd like to start a new feature: Q & A! Whenever you want to ask a question comment here, or on Facebook. (I post everything to my personal fb AND to my fb page) You can also do it through Twitter! Either tag me in it (@abbie_gurley) or use #outcrowdlife. Either way, I'll check, and answer it on my next post! I'll even do a segment where I pick my favorite question and give the winner a shoutout! Don't be shy! Just make sure your question isn't inappropriate.

That's all for now!
Stay Strong, Stay Beautiful

Beauty Poem

Beauty by Abigail Gurley

'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'

What a load of crap, in my opinion.

If you go by this, I'm only pretty if others think so. 

I used to believe this, as many do.

Nowadays, I'm smarter. 

Everything has it's beauty, even if it isn't in their appearance. 

Beauty can be found in your mind, your thoughts, and at the deepest level?

Your heart.

Even the most vile of people can have beauty.

Never forget, evil can be beautiful to.

Beautiful, yet deadly.

As they say,

Dark doesn't always mean evil,

Light doesn't mean good. 

Now, go.

Spread your beauty into the world.

We need it desperately.
