So when the last and dreadful hour
This crumbling pageant shall devour
The trumpet shall be heard on high,
The dead shall live, the living die,
And music shall untune the sky.
-Dryden

This book is an idea I've been wanting to do for awhile. It's basically going to be a labor of love and a single place to showcase the poetry that inspired me throughout my life. All these poets are dead now, but their genius and words shall never be. I will be adding as I can, and if there are any poems you think should be added, message me or comment in the book and I will add it. I just need the title and author. I love discussing these oldies too, so discussion is always welcome in the comments. Have fun delving into the past and I hope you all find something in these words from the past that still speaks to you today.
A/N- I DO NOT OWN the copyright to ANY of these poems! They are public domain. I created the cover but also do not own the original pic.

We all have untold stories and unresolved struggles. Life puts us through many hardships, and while we learn a lot from them, there are times when we feel like giving up. Sometimes, we become so numb that we can't even process what's happening because things go beyond what we expect. We carry emotions that are hard to explain to others, and sometimes, even to ourselves. But we need to stand up for ourselves. We have to make things better. We can't let negative overthinking make things worse. Please, don't ruin yourself-there are enough people out there who might try to bring you down. Focus on yourself. The journey of improving yourself is tough and tiring, but it's worth it. I write to inspire people to think in new and different ways. My goal is to help you focus on positive thoughts while accepting reality, even when it's difficult. I don't want anyone to suppress their emotions, but instead to face life's challenges with understanding. Life can be overwhelming, and the impact of events and people isn't easy to overcome, but we find a way to move forward. Through my words, I hope to help you see things from a new perspective. Don't let negative overthinking weigh you down-it can be destructive. It's not easy to control those thoughts, but trying is a step forward. Each day is a new beginning, just like you, so don't let your negative side take over. I hope my writing brings some comfort, holds meaning for you, and makes your journey feel a little lighter. I hope my words help you, even a little. I hope they encourage you to think more clearly and wisely. And if you feel that my words have the power to improve someone's situation, even a little, please share them. Recommend this book to others or tag them in the comments. Lastly, I want to thank everyone for your kind words. They inspire me to keep writing and sharing.

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute, we read and write poetry because we are members of the human race." -Dead Poets Society I'm a 17 y/o (Started this when I was 15) just wanting to share some of my poetry with people other than my friends :] (Also feel free to comment any tips and how I could improve on my writing!)
