Brandon Nothing Poems

Pain that once was thought to be lost
Has come again, from the scars
That they imprint on all of us
Blank stares pierce your smitten eyes
...

I can come to terms with beatings
But not with the shame
The catalyst, long forgotten reasons
Unsteady hand: dip a feather deep
...

I deplore the days I spent waiting for today
For nothing on this day brings belief
Ignition does not light my fuel less heart
Nor the wet branches of once tall trees
...

Indigenous, we raise our swords
Exiled be those who fall
A waving flag is small when seen
From the window of a castle’s hill
...

Solemnly she surrendered after years of vigor
Her hope would never return again
He said I can’t stay long
The dark brought a welcomed song
...

Turn to despair
You’re never there
So sad to see
What became of me
...

Cryptic tales of dust
We could touch the moon
Ideals about to burst
Gliding viciously down
...

Over and over we see it grow
It begins to fade but it grows
Why must it be so big?
It couldn’t have just faded away
...

The days draw on
Figures swell the combustible air
Various creeds thrown to the side
Who cares anymore?
...

They call it a phase
I call it they’re right
What if I was never meant to belong?
Maybe my dice didn’t roll
...
