Pt. 2 of Crows and Swallow poems

Who is this kid in the mirror
Staring back at me
Used to read books
Now I read movie bios
On Netflix
Used to show emotions
Now I act like I don’t care
Used to be obsesssed
with buying into better experiences
Now I’m obsessed
with buying Nike and supreme
Used to talk all things Disney
Now I keep it in
This kid thinks about
all things he is now
But just the negatives
Positively he’s happy
He has a good life
He’s a strong dancer
And his passion for Disney
Is still strong
He hangs with his family and friends
And loves every moment of it
Although he has changed in the mirror
He still is the same mentally and
On the inside
I personally really liked this idea for a poem. It was a great way to self reflect on things that have changed for the worst and for the better. When I was writing this, I was happy with a lot of the ways u have changed but sad about others.
Untitled Poem
As soon as I walk in
My mood is hightened
A smile is growing on my face
Like a wave growing in the water
Slowly building excitement
Of the Magic in it all
Eating food
Riding rides
Into the night
Music playing in my ear
Happiness growing in my heart
Just like the wave crashing
The excitement must come to an end
But the memories last forever
Without specifically noting what my subject is, it is pretty clear by the 6th line. This poem came straight from my heart as it centers on my favorite experience. I chose to keep it as broad as I could so I could imagine all of my memories in one setting. Overall this has been my favorite poem so far.
