    His Dream
    Probably one of the best poems I’ve written in my opinion. What do you think?


    I’m gonna be there when the sun rises
    I’m gonna be there when the rain falls
    I’m gonna be there when the son rises
    I’m gonna be there when the reign falls

    And I have hope
    And I have faith
    And I have love
    And I am brave

    And I know his Dream will save us all

    He dreamt of a world without slavery
    He dreamt of a world without pain
    He dreamt that you would hear his prayer
    And think of what we would gain

    And he has hope
    And he has faith
    And he has love
    And he is brave

    And I know his dream will save us all

    I’m gonna follow him
    I’m gonna change the world
    But how can I do that
    When I’m just a simple girl?

    Well I’m out of hope
    I’m out of faith
    I’m out of love
    And I’m not brave

    But somehow, some way
    His dream will save us all one day

    Shows a few too many traits of prose in my opinion. The rhythm when reading it is slightly messed up by this. The rhyming scheme was existent but flawed, seeing as it wasn't really consistent over the corresponding sections, neither was the format really. These things aren't really wrong, seeing as common types of poetry tend to be the most flexible and forgiving styles of writing in existence. I wouldn't really call it exceptional in any aspect, so I'll hand it to you, you're not bad.

    It is a little too constant in the use of the same type of words over and over. Alos, I see this as more of a song than an actual poem, since the ways are more of the song genre. And apart from the the spelling mistakes made it seems good.
