Shane Meritt Poems

Calm. Untouched. but full of noise.
Chirps of the crickets coming in steady beats.
Unbroken by the noise of machinery.
The sun has gone down to rest.
...

i cant. the word that is so underestimated. i cant do i cant think i cant see. i left my body to feel the thing that matters the most. my soul. but it wasn't with happiness and joy but of pain and confusion. the things i thought i knew were as lost as a stone in deepest ocean. i'm called things people don't know the half of. seen as confusing and misunderstood and neglected or mistreated for it. they say correct your wrongs and fix yourself to better please society.
...

here and now is what to worry about.
not here to cry and shout.
these thoughts are all I can worry about.
I left with ambition and excitement.
...

My heart beats.
Your heart beats.
We breath the same air.
So how can you sit there and tell me i'm under you.
...

One man, one woman, and one life.
Things that are the creation.
Things that others fear.
Is another person's courage.
