2 Corinthians 12:9<br /> But he said to me, &ldquo;My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. &rdquo; Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ&rsquo;s power may rest on me.

A want to be wallflower
the Daisy Duke from Hell
emotion hides within her eyes
with secrets she’ll never tell
faces blur before her
names depart her mind
she closes her eyes and gives in
this girl is hard to define
when all she wants is freedom
a day in blinding light
it’s hard to make her money
when she wasn’t born for the night
she tries to be invisible
blend right into the wall
but somehow without trying
she makes all of the men fall
how can she ever break these chains
these men will never let her be free
locked behind there prison bars
this girl just might be me.

Wow. Right from the first line I was intrigued, and was facinated by the poem. I also love how you were writing about a girl, then at the ending you revealed how she might be you. I would have never thought to write something like this, so amazing job!!

Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame,<br /> Where there is a flame someone&#039;s bound to get burned.<br /> Just because it burns doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re gonna die,<br /> You&#039;ve got to get up and try.

I think this is a beautiful poem with so much depth and meaning. The flow and rhyming is fantastic it has a beautiful rhythm. If this wasn't teen ink, I would have though that this was written by a famous published author!
