Charnele Waith Poems

Foolish Eyes
They have a mind of their own
The mind to cry for everything
Even when my brain is constantly telling them
...

I go by each day with this smile on my face
This smile is just a thin layer that covers the scars I'm forced to embrace
I try to look at the world through not these eyes, but the eyes that others see
Because my internal picture is covered in dark debris
...

No one talks to him, he doesn't fit in
But you feel like you do when you make fun of him
You want to belong so you go along
But his pain is the price paid for you to belong
...

Hold my Hand
Don't Let it Go
We'll Travel the World
Like Leaves that Blow
...

Like being thrown in the ocean when you can't swim
You can only stay afloat for so long before you sink in

And while you're at the surface you see the one that threw you
...

Betrayal;
Living your life seemingly forever with pain
Thoughts running wild never giving peace to your brain
From the minute you're awoken you feel you're going insane
...
