Bethany Maxwell Poems

It’s too dark to see in the dawn’s early light.
The horizon is blurred,
The smoke glows red.
There’s fire everywhere,
...

They said to me,
"I disagree with what you're saying,
But you have talent."
No, no, it was more like…
...

My hips keep time,
Sixty second circles,
Forming minutes in the air;
My heart beats out the moments,
...

Tomorrow is another day,
So don't let today stop you.
Tomorrow is unbroken,
Even if today is shattered,
...

One day a year sights and sounds combine into one,
As people sing of love and joy,
As lights flash and music rings.
On this day people join,
...

Ok theres this girl from korea who made my family dinner once
And she made a traditional rice dish
And I am not big on the whole shrimp and mushroom thing
But I look into my bowl and there are shrimp staring at me! ! !
...

What does freedom really mean?
My mother letting me make decisions,
That is freedom.
The ability to make my own passion,
...

On a bed of roses you lay
For here you shall stay
Your time has come it is the end
For now you can not mend
...

Dear Diary,

Daddy was on the couch again
Mommy left again.
...

I can feel the air around me,
I can see the people laughing and singing,
I can be the spirit in the trees,
I can fly with the birds in the sky.
