Whipping Winds

Freedom

March 10, 2008

They go paving the way for the rest

Supported and excited

The excitement wavers

Till the hope and joy fades

Leaving me to push

To make my way for freedom

No longer for excitement and pride

But for the betterment of the world

And hopefully for myself

Whipping Winds

March 30, 2014

The wind whips through my heart

As I feel the warmth abandon me

The anticipation for tomorrow torn apart

As I stare at the bare tree

It weighs me down, with heavy eyes

Shaking cold I lie in bed

Dreaming of warmer skies

For too long I've looked ahead

How to climb with no sight

I wish for warms arms to carry me

All alone I must hold myself tight

Till from this ice I am free

In My Mind

You Would Think

March 9, 2008

You would think

That if you tried harder you would succeed

You would think

If you thought about it longer you would remember

The logic of the world

Is unlike gravity

Pulling right where we know it will go

Instead it takes unusual turns

Throwing us off balance

Making our minds wonder, "You would think..."

In My Mind

March 12, 2014

You've found an unbarred door

One coated in dust

In my mind you wander

Leaving things in disarray

Feeling you behind my eyes

I shudder, feeling defenseless

I cannot recognize what is mine

Mistakenly using your tools

Tearing apart the patches

I've reinforced too many times

Painful work now in shambles

Starting over seems unfair

Myself

Who And When

February 26, 2008

At this time with these people

I am this

Now with you

I am her

All alone then

I am that

At what time and what place

Am I me?

Myself

February 27, 2014

My day for You feels taken

My love for this time is lost

My heart can sense no comfort

My strength cannot be renewed

My mind will just keep racing

My attitude growing dark

My time seems like it's wasted

My perspective needs to change
