Alison Smith Poems

I've stepped out from my safe haven
I'm accepting the buffeting of mankind
With each step I know Im growing
The seeds of doubt are falling on barren ground
...

I have finally reached the time
Where I cant find a path from my pain
I can no longer try to seek
I am too tired to try again
...

To seek independence we need security
We need to have both physical and
Mental strength to push past the barriers.
How is that achieved?
...

As I sit and contemplate all around me
I wonder what it would be like to smile
To have the glow of joy and happiness
Filling my very soul.
...

Expressions of feelings are hard to show
We are afraid to show how we really feel
We don’t want our lives displayed for all to see
For then we will be venerable
...

She sees him around every corner
She feels his breath on her neck
She wakes knowing he has been there
Even though he doesn't exist.
...

What is it about we humans?
That so many of us are alone
That we seek to form a partnership
And will go any where to do so.
...

Through a light of a candle
The thoughts of things past occur
Feelings of things that have already been
Can you feel the flow
...

Brutal taking of life
Understanding cant come from this
Look at the pain
Let the leaders stand and face
...

Whisper to the wind
There is a tale to be told
Can so great a dragon
Be destroyed by the failings
...
