Pen tapping, mind scrapping
Trying to find the right words
To do you justice.
Then I remember Freedom is
Different for many people,
So I decided to say it straight
From my heart, and off I was,
Ready to start.
I believe it should be an
Entity of Goodness,which allows
Us all to be or look the way we
Choose, without prejudice.
And Left feeling pressured to
Be what others think we should be,
And left feeling empty and
Disengaged from society
But worse of all,abnormal inside.
So if we find ourselves
Ready to shout out our own
Judgmental thoughts,
Remember we all have
A heart,that can bleed.

You write well. In any work aim to make your poem immediate, as if it is happening right now. There are times to kind of remember the past, and yet by making it come to life as if your eyes are enjoying the moment, it creates an immediate impact with your reader. Just saying... Richard LP
(I hope you don't mind my suggesting line changes to create the present---You, the writer decide finales. Cheers.

Hi Richard :) Thank you for taking the time to read and comment.
Thank you also for saying 'I write well' I think I write reality and from the heart and most times I try or hope to make people smile, but the jury is still out on good lol but I do appreciate what you said.
I do not mind any suggestions and I did originally put remember rather than remembered, which I may change back thinking on that,and change goodness from good which is a good suggestion thank you, however the rest I may stay the same, I aimed to get a message across, and for me even if one person was not judgmental for one hour after reading my poem I'm happy,rather than thinking about bringing this particular one to life. But for many pieces that would be more suited which is a very valid point, which I will remember Richard :).
Keep Writing

Sorry Pia lol
I also meant to say, thank you for wishing me good luck, that also means alot.
But I need every bit of luck, lol as there are a lot of brilliant writers on here (which I am not lol) on here, but as long as I hopefully get my message across and people at least think about what they may say or do to even one person they next see, then iv won to me :))))
