Alicia Bridget Smith Poems

I’m longing for something that’ll give me a reason,
To sit out this bitter and lonely cold season,
But there’s nothing that lingers long enough in my brain,
To stop me from fearing the wind and the rain,
...

Have you ever watched a flower come into bloom.
Just marvelled at the power of something so fair.
Glows with it's beauty, almost without a care.
But everyone knows that even something so sweet,
...

The canvas skin, that you're living in, there something not quite right.
The painted grin and the safety pins, are they mine tonight?
And the empty stare, that’s sleeping there, and you know there’s something wrong.
The words you say, i know it's all okay, coz you were right all along.
...

So sometimes it gets lonely, all tired and worn and gaumless.
However, what's the least you can expect from a 9 - 5 all rounder.
He wakes from his grey ground dreams, dropped into reality once more.
After taking nourishment from the contents of a cupboard,
...

You’re in the wrong.
You know you’re in the wrong.
But what do you do? You blame someone else.
You blame every last bit of guilt, fear, pain and anxiety onto someone or something else.
...

It seems we can’t truly see the things that stand right before our eyes,
For we think that they will forever stay, and not change with time,
But the truth is that with time, nothing stays the same,
People mature and memories fade.
...

I never knew you, but I looked at your beautiful face.
So small, so fair, too pure to embrace,
You are not a stranger, for we are so strongly connected,
You are forever within my heart, forever protected,
...
