Morgan Stanton Poems

Why cant you leave me?
Are you afraid to be alone?
Are you afraid to face the facts?
My dear, you need to know
...

Questions char our mind
But they remain untold
We must be accepted by society
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
...

Life is hard to fill with
teeth that bite
and eat up our fears
...

Drown the flooding introspection
Sing the song you’ve been yearning for
Abandon the need for acceptance
Caper your own little dance
...

They say its not a disease
nor a sickness, illness, or virus.
Simply, a silent epidemic.
Pandemic would be a better word...
...

Play the guitar one more time
And sing one last song for me
Time may be running out
But we can make the best of it
...

‘“No one has to know, ”’
Said the lips of the ‘Greek God’
‘’Just you and me.’’
Can it really be this perfect?
...

Music saves me from the world
For the world goes too fast
For me to follow
Drown out the noise
...

The intense collision of trembling lips yearning for a change.
Endless wishes all clash as one, cravings for what we want most.
Like sprinting statues, we run from society. Hesitant, yet enthusiastic.
Ready to give in, ready to surrender. You lead me to restraint.
...

Soft rain, hard world.
Tear-filled sighs,
Acceptance, regret
All a part of normal life
...
