Little
Egg
Little egg, high in the tree I wonder what you might be. When you hatch Will you make a sound that's loud and proud or a frightened little peep. Will you sing every morning or will you cry every night. Will you listen to the words your mother chimes, or turn your head away? When it comes time to try, will you jump from your safe little nest and fly high, or will you look down at the ground and refuse to budge. Will you stay on the path following those who are versed, or will you stray and discover the world of the unknown? Little egg, I wonder, what you will be. What will become of you one day? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Snow
Fluttering in the breeze They softly cover me Pure white is tainted as the world moves A white abyss of nothingness, I’m stuck in the midst The sun begins to rise taking away the chill. Sparkling and shining the city stands still. The scene in front of me is awing as the ice melts and the river begins to flow. Warmth starts settling in But it’s more of a friend As I sit and wait for it to snow again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Within
Charismatic charm, just remember that words can harm. These are the words that have left me mentally scarred. Each word you say hits me like a glass shard Leaving my mind utterly marred. Catching me completely off guard Then you just go away leaving me totally jarred. This is a hate that you just can't fake May I ask what have I done so wrong? I mean, I know I kinda don't belong.. But what did it take to make an enemy, Out of person who used to be so friendly? I just don't understand what I did to deserve this verbal abuse you put me through. Just exactly what did I do to you? You say I am completely worthless. Useless, you spit, absolutely nothing. The hate you have for me is stunning. I walk away to end my suffering But even at home I can't help remembering. The words that tore me apart, leaving me dismembered I don't think anything can put me back together. It's an effort that has left me totally exhausted. These words that have left me haunted The mirror just reflects an image that these words have fostered I see nothing but a monster Breathless, I'm horrified to see exactly what the affect these words have had on me. But the most terrifying thing, arises in the moment when I realize that these words come from within. |
I
Am Here
I am here… Silence. Please, look at me. I am here, waiting. Waiting to be noticed, to be remembered, praised, and cherished. Don't let me down, don't leave me alone. Please, I'm here, don't go. Listen closely, I beg you to. The quiet voice that's been stolen without choice. These are the words unspoken, stories not yet told. This silence is aching. Taking my heart. Yet I can speak no more. I am here, covered and alone. This place is dark and cold. I seek shelter, to ease this numbness. Take me in, give me warmth, banish all the blue. Look at me, I am here. See this, notice it too. They stand there. Masked faces, but a crumbling hearts. You can end this pain. Here I am. There is a shattered part. Where there is nothing but a world torn apart. I am still here. Silently Screaming. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unique
You mustn't sing to loud for they might stop and stare. Don’t sing to freely because they might just judge you, baby And they might say some words that just might leave you scarred. Yes, I know. You must be afraid and that is okay. So you just go with the flow, keeping your head down low. Fit into the crowd. No one will call you a coward. Blending with the rest of them, who cares if you are condemned? But you resent it just slightly, and you know you are meant to be. Yet you continue to follow them along and you just don’t get along with yourself at all Trying to blend you, you fell into the sea, and you've disappeared completely. Why would you pretend to be some else when you are born to be yourself? Speak out; let your voice be heard. Rise above everyone else and stand out! For you are something no one else can be You are something totally unique. |
