Edward Veilleux Poems

Through all the ups, all the downs,
Some will be there, some can't be found.
If they won't care as they should, so be it.
This is life in the way that I wish to see it.
...

It's hard to translate one's feelings into speech,
It takes time to overcome the obstacles we meet.
Don't live life scared of what your words will bring,
Even if you fail, at least you attempted to do something.
...

Why must one such as I,
live my life with fear,
the fear to unjustly die.
It is not what you first hear,
...

Do you see things as we all do?
Trying to prove yourself, but to who?
Are you worried about what we think of you?
You're insecure about yourself, but who knew?
...

So much to know,
So much to learn,
Fires to start,
Hearts to burn.
...

I can't sleep,
not allowed to dream.
Sitting here wide awake,
thinking about what it all means...
...

There she stood,
with another new guy.
She looked good,
actually that's a lie.
...

We build it up, beautifully,
In all our rage and anger.
when will we pull the pin?
If it is set off today,
...

I woke up today as I do everyday,
Wondering if you dreamt of me too,
As you said, I can't help everyone,
I would be content just to help you...
...

At his funeral there will be sadness and tears,
Some are fake but some have been forged through years.
Through the best of times, and equally through the worst.
It'd be interesting to see who would speak up first...
...
