Mellissa E. Borth Poems

They thought I was feeble
They thought I was weak
So when I struck back
They fell at my feet
...

Autumn leaves crown the trees
Teardrops fall from the sky
Quiet calm standing by
Marching to the rhythm of the rain on the roof
...

I was nothing more
To you
Then the girl next door.
...

I lit a match
I watched it burn
It fell through a latch
And made the world turn
...

The moon is made of cheese.
The stars are made of butter.
The milky way, a dish of cream.
The universe is supper.
...

'I don't believe in magic, '
He said.
'Fate, I seriously doubt.'
...

If I didn't wonder, didn't wait,
didn't stop or hesitate,

who would I be but a toy?
...

Fire rends,
tears, destroys.
Fire breaks.
Takes life's joys.
...

Courage is a beautiful song,
Sung in the night,
Courage is the tune standing strong.
...

I'm only a shadow
Of what you hoped I could be
I'm just a reflection
Of something great to see.
...
