&ldquo;Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside.&rdquo; <br /> ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

I have thousands
of inexplicable thoughts
that I cannot seem to
smooth onto paper.

I have memorable people
that I wish to be documented.

And there are so many everchanging feelings
I could speak of.

I believe my soul is a place
in which all of these captivating things
can be discovered.

Maybe not every set of stars
can be fathomed into constellations.

I agree with JRaye and _Zavery_, this is an exceptional piece. You've managed to express a feeling in your poem that is frequently experienced, which makes it easy to follow and connect with. Nicely done! 5/5

Jeez, I feel like this all the time. So much to think about about, so much I don't say. I was really able to relate to this - simple and elegant. Lovely poem:)

I'm speechless. This is a very moving and descriptive poem, and I especially love the last line. Good job!
