Shelby Lanier Poems

I watch you from afar
Thinking of what to say
To get your attention
Which I could never do anyway
...

Some may say
That my heart is pure as gold
And that my smile
Could never be sold
...

My heart beats fast
Out of my chest,
And here I am
Longing to feel at rest!
...

I look back on my past
And wonder about my thoughts; are there regrets
Or pieces that I wish hadn’t fallen?
But they did, so I can’t change that.
...

I knock,
But you can’t hear me.
I bleed, but you won’t see me.
I scream,
...

Out of this turmoil
And free from the bonds;
Restored and renewed
And now carry on
...

I think back on my day
And the hardships that I had
Still stressed and confused
Trying not to get mad
...

This feeling inside me
Makes me want to scream
To feel my blood run through my veins
And have an uncured dream
...

Someone who stands on top
Who has a smile that will not stop?

Charming and handsome are you
...

To keep to myself all the time
I remember the memories of the past,
Ive learned more than you’ll ever know…
And I hide my hideous face from behind the world!
