Unfamiliar Ground

Mysterious Darkness

March 13, 2008

The dark threatening clouds

Rolling over and through my head

Bringing a sense of excitement

Sparking interest in the shadows

Holding desire

Just because it is a mystery

The wonder is half of the allure

Not knowing making it attractive

Unfamiliar Ground

Thriving on familiar ground

Yet I tear away

To my whims I am bound

Later I will pay

In this depth will I drown?

Remaining where I lay?

Where I am I won't be found

If I determine to stay

Should I move, favoring the sound?

Perhaps one more day

Why I Can

Lowest To Highest

March 12, 2008

The stress of it all is wearing me down

Crushing every inch of hope

Making me sick with despair

Time to see where my work has got me

I have succeeded above all else

All the empty darkness is filled

With brightly shining accomplishment

The difference before and after

The low to the high

Is worth not being in the middle

Why I Can

May 21, 2014

I can do this because I've practiced

Practiced until it was made a habit

Habit that successfully hid me from myself

Myself has become so many

Many forms for different moments

Moments made for others, always

Always a different voice, different face

Face that belongs to me

Me hidden behind them

Them that double as I

Shining Star

Changing The World

March 11, 2008

When I was younger

The teachers taught

That one day we could change the world

With our imaginations

As children

We made the world ours

But as the years go by

And the lessons are learned

The more our minds are confined

To how the world will be forever

Shining Star

May 12, 2014

The star I watch is much too glorious

To approach and feel, I will get burned

Enchanted, unnoticed, I move closer

The intensity so powerful it almost hurts

But it does not, not yet

Hearing my name, calling me back

I can, but I don't return

Weakness as strong as two magnets

Each blink draws me forward

Burning flame, please go out

Before life ends in your heart
