An Ode To You
you are the sun
thatlights up my day
piercing through the shadows
that lurk in our way
you are the joy
that brights up my life
wiping away the sadness
in my world filled with strife
you are the comfort
the rest I seek
whenever the future
appears so bleak
you are the love
that fills my soul
mending the broken pieces
and making me whole
you are the angel
heaven sent
your are, and will always be
my very special friend

it must be the weather

Is it?
And lock your doors from all the pain?
Is it selfish to build a wall
A protection to keep you sane?
Is it selfish to act so cold
And let no emotions show?
Is it selfish to delude the world
And not let your thoughts be known?
Is it selfish to always pretend
With a smile plastered on your face?
Is it selfish that behind that smile
Lurks a creature of disgrace?
Is it selfish to cover your ears
And ignore their tearful cry?
Is it selfish to drown out the words
For knowing in the end its all a lie?
Is it selfish to think of one’s self
And try to preserve ones’ sanity?
Is it selfish to spurn the world
Which through the eyes of prejudices see?
Defeated
In the darkness
The figure hides
Hunched in the corner
Like a beaten child
Head averted
Bowed down in shame
Arms encircling the knees
Concentrating the pain
Limbs are tense
Expecting the blow
Focusing the mind
That nothing will show
So strong a being
Not running from pain
Yet silent tears are falling
Like droplets of rain
The night was still
Not a body stirred
The figure searched for peace
But it was not heard
Suffering in silence
Grieving alone
Its cry muted by the wind
As tough not known
Day by day it continues
Yet no one heeds its call
Days becoming bitter years
With no one to help it at all
An eternity of anguish
Endless sorrow
With the rising of the sun
It might fade into tomorrow
But the being is spent
To tired t try
Just awaiting for dawn
Where its soul will fly
