Better Late Than Never?

My thoughts about the class last week didn't seem especially brilliant, so I'm posting a poem I wrote this week.  It's flowery and whimsical because I'm a teenage girl, not because I have especially deep thoughts. So here goes...

Shining knights and lovely maidens 

fill my dreams today.

Day creeps on, the dreams are fadin';

Why must they go away?

If only love were always honest

and the same for life as well;

would all else be so purely flawless?

If you know, I beg, pray tell.

The simplicity in my mind

rejects reality.

I forever look and never find

perfection's rarity.

And the only thing that's left now-

the one way I can cope:

To believe with all my heart now,

To never give up hope.
