Eric Escobar Poems

Stuck in quicksand
because i can barely stand
the thought of not having enough
Then i see a hand
...

One ton of guilt pressing hard against my chest.
I try not to let it phase me but I cannot rest.
Feeling the insides of my stomach rise with every breath.
I dont have a clue of what to do.
...

If only it were as pure as water
Too bad love can easily be tainted
Feelings like receiving your first daughter
Love is bad I'd rather stay acquainted
...

You left your heart out and unprotected
I did anything for you to like me
Feelings like that were so unexpected
Being with you had made me feel so free
...

It’s all a dream inside my head
I wish I could but I am dead
My senses failing no one knows
What this life brings to those
...

When the morning is crisp
that's the best.
I know this day
is better than the rest.
...

I'm trying to be the best that I can be.
Why cant you understand this is hard for me?
Assuming the worst, please take that elsewhere.
Judging me before I speak just isn't fair.
...

I shout out but my voice can't be heard
How will I make it and succeed
when no one is here when I am in need
I've been soaring so long the crash was inevitable
...
