ReplyDeleteThis poem shows how the outside of a person's body does not reflect what is on the inside of them, but instead may end up hiding their true personality.
A person's body grows up on the outside,-
Its easier to see this way,-
If a person doesn't show there true personality,
The body is a good way to do so
The body is always open;
It never leaves yourself
The body can hide who you are
Without a problem.
Shannon Camara
DeleteAlthough a person may be growing up
That's not all that can really happen
What you see on the outside
May just be a quick way to hide
A body can hide everything
Of what a person really is
In the effort of hiding within the body
The world loses another person
The body grows outside of its skin
ReplyDeleteThe easiest way
The body hides its spirit sometimes
Its morale stands always
Open,safe,welcoming
It never betrayed a person
The person that asked it for shelter
In scared honesty
Ben Hevner
When you grow up you go through many journies
ReplyDeleteThe journies are what make you who you are
If you hide your true self,
You won't grow up to reach your goals
Secure your true self and invite new ideas
Nothing will stop you
You're meant to do certain things
Even the scariest things
You see a body grow-
ReplyDeleteLike changing hair and face
The growth inside stands alone-
Invisible to others knowing
It's wholesome and real
It finds its sacred home
Inside your sheltered body
Where the honest parts live.
A body is just shelter
ReplyDeleteWhat is inside matters most
Looks can be decieving
And mask what is true
Inviting the outside in
For the body is protection
A soul may find a home
A place to stay
**I didn't really understand what to do**

When you grow up you do not look the same.
ReplyDeleteYour body undergoes changes on the outside.
Yet, who you are on the inside can stay hidden and safe.
The skin and the bones are always a shell.
Like a turtle's that gives a home to the soft parts of the body.
The body can shelter more than blood but emotion.
It will never deny giving you a place to be who you are.
Even in the scariest of days.
The body grows seperately from the soul, and the soul grows away from the body. The soul needs the body.
ReplyDeleteThe spirit hides in the body, and the body does not betray the soul
The body is a safehold for the soul. The soul trusts the body to keep it safe

DeleteThe body grows bigger or ages as you get older.
ReplyDeleteIt's easier for your body to grow on the inside instead of the outside, because it's harder for you to grow up maturely.
If you are shy then you won't mature as fast.
You will stay the same and not change at all.
The body is like your home.
Your body and soul are always there for you.
The soul needs the body and the body needs the soul
But your soul isn't as "strong" as your body so it's more timid.
The body grows for people to see
ReplyDeleteThis is an easy thing
The spirit you have stays hidden
It never goes away only grows
The growth inside takes time
The soul does not come with the body
It has to ask and want to stay.

Matthew Albanese
ReplyDeleteThe soul's growth is always
harder than the body's growth,
and if the soul is seeking refuge,
there will always be a place for it.
The soul's place of refuge
is welcoming to the soul,
and it would never betray the soul
that humbly questioned it, asking
for shelter in a time of need.
Every single person
ReplyDeleteneeds a home
to be sheltered from the outside;
against the harshness of people and nature alike.
The house always there;
Never allowing dangers to enter,
Always protecting the person,
Against the world.
As you get older, your body grows both physically and mentally
ReplyDeleteYour body grows in the easiest way
If you hide who you really are
You will noit have that killer instinct to accomplish your goals
Never doubt your beliefs
Nobody can stop you from believeing what you want to believe
You're born to do certain things in your life
Even the things that are the toughest

ReplyDeleteThe body grows on the outside,
ReplyDeleteIn which the spirit can hide,
It provides shelter for your spirit.
What's on the outside can decieve you.
The body never abandoned
The soul that was inside it,
It is open and inviting.
The soul can be secure.
You grow through many obstacles
ReplyDeleteBut your sole does not change
A sole found a home for a reason
And you body protects it
Who you are on the outside
Does not change what you are on the inside
Eric O'Neill
You see your body grow in many ways,
ReplyDeletesome of which you can't change
You are the person you are supposed to be
Don't hide who you truly are
Your body is your home
keeping you safe.
It will never turn against you,
Even in the scariest of days.
-Maya
The human body is the home to the soul
ReplyDeleteThe body grows, but the soul stays the same.
The body is just an open home,
Waiting with open arms to keep the soul safe.
The soul can hide
Or be open
But the body will keep its opening arms whenever the soul needs it to.
Someone may seem to be growing up
ReplyDeleteBy what you see on the outside.
What's on the outside can hide
Your true self.
A body can hide a person,
And who they really are.
Each and every bird
ReplyDeletehides behind a tree,
taking shelter from the world
and avoiding injuries.
The tree should always be there
to protect the needy being,
who hides under the tree’s cover
that takes on the world for it.
But what to do when that tree’s gone,
the bird may not know.
But then it’s time for the bird to leave,
and find shelter somewhere else.
Maybe someday birds will be less timid
and come out from those trees.
Change a little bit
and take on their own world.
the body is only a form of protection,
ReplyDeletefor the personality that's inside,
the body is a shelter,
but only covers what is shy
welcoming, safe, and an open invitation.
it never has done no wrong.
a personality needs a shelter,
to protect from other personalities.
