I think Frost is telling us, in an ironically obscure way, that we'll have to tell our true story eventually -- a "revelation", if you will.

I write poems do to how enigmatic my emotions, and my mind is, it's so complex, and I write poems to express my feelings( when I write poems.)\n\n\nThe force of the tranquil ocean\nCalms all but one\nThese elements create a potion\nGelid harsh coldness surrounds us\nEarth relentlessly hardens\nThe only escape is on my bus....\n\n\n\nThat poem expresses many things, and has many double meanings, see if you can find them, I even made some rhymes.

Young girls that waste time trying to be older is basically what that poem is referring to.\n\nYou know when your young and can't wait to grow up so you try to appear older?  That poem is encouraging young ladies to be young ladies and not be in such a hurry for time to pass.

the lyrics are making an attempt to explain that the person they speak of has taken something of great value and rendered it worthless. \nLike the gift of love.\nhe's trying to make clear that their love is doomed.

I think the theme of the poem relates to the nature of the world and appreciating life.\n\n"Light takes the Tree" may refer to darkness when the sun sets (as fits with your interpretation "I am born to die"). The line about the worm climbing the stair refers to a struggle against great odds.\n\nI think the poet is saying to take your time in life and to learn how to live your life as you go.

An interesting and sometimes-lovely poem. It's an acknowledgment of where and how the writer connects to his origins.\nPoetry doesn't need to make sense.  Like religion, it is often irrational.

The full rhyme is \nSomething old, something new \nSomething borrowed, something blue \nAnd a silver sixpence in her shoe. \n\nEach item in this poem represents a good-luck token for the bride. If she carries all of them on her wedding day, her marriage will be happy. "Something old" symbolizes continuity with the bride's family and the past. "Something new" means optimism and hope for the bride's new life ahead. "Something borrowed" is usually an item from a happily married friend or family member, whose good fortune in marriage is supposed to carry over to the new bride. The borrowed item also reminds the bride that she can depend on her friends and family. \n\nAs for the colorful item, blue has been connected to weddings for centuries. In ancient Rome, brides wore blue to symbolize love, modesty, and fidelity. Christianity has long dressed the Virgin Mary in blue, so purity was associated with the color. Before the late 19th century, blue was a popular color for wedding gowns, as evidenced in proverbs like, "Marry in blue, lover be true."

In the poem "Music I Heard", written by Conrad Aiken, the love expressed is different. The character of the poem is a man, that is speaking about his loved one. Full of memories, he has flashbacks of when the loved one was around him and his belongings. After the loved person left, he is lonely. The memories are coming back to him in the quote (line #5), " Your hands one touched this table and this silver". He misses her and the good times they had together. He wants to have her come back to him. She is now only in his heart full of past memories.\n\nThe feeling that love brings in this poem is sadness. The sadness of missing the loved one is great. He is lonely and full of memories that still light up his hopes for having her come back. He remembers her actions and what she touched, but only the memories are left. The sadness is expressed in this quote (line # 3-4) by the character. "Now that I am without you all is desolate;/ and all that was once so beautiful is dead." He misses her a lot, and does not like things that much as he did when she was around.

It's not really an encouragement poem... but it is about someone going off to fight. \n=================\nA Thousand Words\n\nI know that you're hiding things\nUsing gentle words to shelter me\nYour words were like a dream\nBut dreams could never fool me\nNot that easily\n\nI acted so distant then\nDidn't say goodbye before you left\nBut I was listening\nYou'll fight your battles far from me\nFar too easily\n\n"Save your tears cause I'll come back"\nI could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door\nBut still I swore to hide the pain \n\nWhen I turn back the pages\nShouting might have been the answer\nWhat if I'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart\nBut now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart\n\nThough a thousand words\nHave never been spoken\nThey'll fly to you\nCrossing over the time and distance holding you\nSuspended on silver wings\n\nAnd a thousand words\nOne thousand confessions\nWill cradle you\nMaking all of the pain you feel seem far away\nThey'll hold you forever\n\nThe dream isn't over yet\nThough I often say I can forget\nI still relive that day\nYou've been there with me all the way\nI still hear you say,\n\n"Wait for me I'll write you letters"\nI could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor\nBut still I swore to hide the doubt\n\nWhen I turn back the pages\nAnger might have been the answer\nWhat if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait\nBut now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late\n\nCause a thousand words\nCall out through the ages\nThey'll fly to you\nEven though we can't see I know they're reaching you\nSuspended on silver wings\n\nOh a thousand words\nOne thousand embraces\nWill cradle you\nMaking all of your weary days seem far away\nThey'll hold you forever\n\nOh a thousand words\nHave never been spoken\nThey'll fly to you\nThey'll carry you home and back into my arms\nSuspended on silver wings ohhh\n\nAnd a thousand words\nCall out through the ages\nThey'll cradle you\nTurning all of the lonely years to only days\nThey'll hold you forever

I've always liked this poem...\n\nOne night I had a dream--\nI dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord \nand across the sky flashed scenes from my life. \nFor each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, \none belonged to me and the other to the Lord. \nWhen the last scene of my life flashed before me,\nI looked back at the footprints in the sand.\nI noticed that many times along the path of my life,\nthere was only one set of footprints.\nI also noticed that it happened at the very lowest\nand saddest times in my life. \nThis really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. \n"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,\nyou would walk with me all the way,\nbut I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life\nthere is only one set of footprints. \n"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,\nyou should leave me." \nThe Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,\nI love you and I would never, never leave you\nduring your times of trial and suffering. \n"When you saw only one set of footprints,\nit was then that I carried you."\n\nMary Stevens

This poem is really a good poem... Yes it is a good peom... The meaning is not deep but when you want a deeper meeanig then put the words into your life then you will understand the real meaning of the peom\n\nDesiderata \n\nGo placidly amid the noise and haste,\nand remember what peace there may be in silence.\nAs far as possible without surrender\nbe on good terms with all persons.\nSpeak your truth quietly and clearly;\nand listen to others,\neven the dull and the ignorant;\nthey too have their story. \n\nAvoid loud and aggressive persons,\nthey are vexations to the spirit.\nIf you compare yourself with others,\nyou may become vain and bitter;\nfor always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.\nEnjoy your achievements as well as your plans. \n\n\nKeep interested in your own career, however humble;\nit is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.\nExercise caution in your business affairs;\nfor the world is full of trickery.\nBut let this not blind you to what virtue there is;\nmany persons strive for high ideals;\nand everywhere life is full of heroism. \n\n\nBe yourself.\nEspecially, do not feign affection.\nNeither be cynical about love;\nfor in the face of all aridity and disenchantment\nit is as perennial as the grass. \n\n\nTake kindly the counsel of the years,\ngracefully surrendering the things of youth.\nNurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.\nBut do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.\nMany fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.\nBeyond a wholesome discipline,\nbe gentle with yourself. \n\n\nYou are a child of the universe,\nno less than the trees and the stars;\nyou have a right to be here.\nAnd whether or not it is clear to you,\nno doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. \n\n\nTherefore be at peace with God,\nwhatever you conceive Him to be,\nand whatever your labors and aspirations,\nin the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. \n\n\nWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\nit is still a beautiful world.\nBe cheerful.\nStrive to be happy. \n\n\nMax Ehrmann, Desiderata, Copyright 1952

It is not a poem. It is originally from the novel by Charles Dickens,  A Tale of Two Cities.  It is the opening sentence to the novel.  The actual quote is: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.   It is one of the most famous lines in all of literature and quoted very often.  I believe the sentence concerns the French Revolution.

Although grammatically incorrect and lacking steady timbre, there is no doubt as to the feeling and emotion expressed in your poem. I don't know about your friend but if he or she read it I am sure that they would continue to be a friend for life. Good luck.

Being a poet myself, I have to say it's a good poem, but what it's saying is you are not really dealing with the pain and hurt too well. My heart goes out to you. I hurt for you, and also, identify with you. I'm compiling a book of my poems, called "Pain On Paper". The poetry for us is a release of our pain...........keep on writing! You're doing good! Talk to somebody though, a friend, a counselor.......\nSOMEBODY! Get the pain out!!
