A change in perspective
will change a sunshine filled hour
into a melting, hot, and unbearable eternity.
...
The marks you left inside of me,
those cannot be seen.
These marks, though,
...
Love is a picnic in the park, on a red checked cloth, eating from a bruised wicker basket.
Love is fishing in the summertime.
Love is the smell after rain.
Love is 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or maybe 103.
...
I sit here late at night;
alone, afraid, and in the dark.
I wallow in my self despair
...
Baby steps are tiny.
Each liitle gain is applauded.
And when you fall
someone is there
...
The tears wont fall.
I wish they would
so they could cause a flood.
Like Alice did in wonderland.
...
I'm stuck in a corner with no definite way out.
I spend my time wishing it would all just go away.
Old addictions are sneaking up to tempt me-
it's getting harder to just breathe.
...
You're going on a mission.
I'm so proud of you for it.
but...
...
Life is gray,
the shapes all blend together.
Nothing has a meaning.
...
How are you today?
Is it strange that that's a hard question to answer?
Do i tell you that im fine?
Or great?
...
'Lord, what fools these mortals be'
loving each other hopelessly.
We're mortally foolish you and I
but our love will never die.
...
I'm numb again.
I was happy for a time
but that has gone away.
Now I'm locked up in ice-
...
I am 20 years old and I started writing poetry pretty much as soon as I knew how to write. My writing is oftentimes just a means of venting and usually the emotions are not permanent...so don't freak out.)
A Change In Perspective
A change in perspective
will change a sunshine filled hour
into a melting, hot, and unbearable eternity.
A change in perspective
will change a meadow of flowers
into a plot of weeds.
A change in perspective
will change a barren wasteland
into a field of opportunity.
A change in perspective
will change a bleak, dark room
into a place of sweet rest.
A change in perspective
is all anyone needs
so go and change.
Make flowers out of weeds.
