Finding that special piece!!



Someone asked me a question recently that made search myself.
Do you think you can actually survive without no one else?
I didn't know how to respond, so I quickly turned and ignored.
I realize a piece of me was missing and it needed to be restored!

Now as ponder on this thought I escalate my dreams
Taking them apart one by one asking myself what they mean.
Finding that special piece has gotten me thinking on my past.
How could I have made this far with all these questions asked!

I made it all these years because I believed in myself and more.
All my pieces fell in place as I unlocked each door!
The doors of my hidden fears that never kept me bound.
Finding those pieces were easy picking others off the ground.

Now I'm certain the questions were answered I had to prove it was true.
Finding those special pieces is what I continue to do!

Carl Semien

Hi.....my name is Carl Anthony Semien, I was born on Oct 25th 1957 in Lake Charles, La. I found my passion for writing poetry when I entered my first poetry contest with Poetry.com in 1997 with the poem "A Place" which gave me my first poetry Editor's Choice Award. Since then I've published two poetry books and received 5 more Awards. Writing is a vent for me and I'm a better person because of it! Now I reside in Hollywood, Ca. Where I continue writing to inspire, encourage, and challenge my readers and other fellow poets out there! Hope my poems brings optimism, change, to make this world a better place. And most importantly, when my life is over, let it be said....."I Contributed more than I Criticized!" more…
