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.
...
Roses are so beautiful;
but I wonder,
if a rose had feelings,
would she feel beautiful?
...
Life is gray,
the shapes all blend together.
Nothing has a meaning.
...
You're going on a mission.
I'm so proud of you for it.
but...
...
'Lord, what fools these mortals be'
loving each other hopelessly.
We're mortally foolish you and I
but our love will never die.
...
How are you today?
Is it strange that that's a hard question to answer?
Do i tell you that im fine?
Or great?
...
'Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.'
'Yesterday is history'.
That's why I can't remember.
...
Sleep and slumber.
Words that have the same meaning
but only in their barest state.
...
Mice in a maze.
Cats in a box.
Push a button;
get the cheese.
...
Once, in a rose garden,
grew a lily.
Its vibrant shades of orange and gentle hints of pink,
daring to bloom
...
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.
