I wish I could dance or sing
But those talents were never given to me
To express myself in a song
Is something I will never know
...
Stand with me on this ledge
Crawling closer to the edge
Push me down
Watch me fall
...
My life has become a doorstep
For everyone else’s hopes and dreams
Steadfast, forever holding
To be walked over
...
I think I need a coffee break
just to get away from this day
I woke up to early
fell asleep far to late
...
If the sun refused to shine
we could live forever in tonight
no longer constrained by time
Imagine the things we'd see
...
Jealousy
Is eating a hole inside of me
It’s a feeling I don’t need
An emotion I will not feed
...
a friend is gone today
a voice no more to hear
whose life, cut short
ran closely to our own
...
when you lay down at night
surrender yourself to the moonlight
is it me you dream of
in the still air of night
...
The truth is; that
i don't know if I could stand
to live a day without you
and I don't know what I would do
...
I find Nature dull, and emotionless
while some write poems about the colors of a flower
I find such work mundane
although a rose may be bright
...
You know I never tried to hide
the worst parts of my life
I was looking up to the sky
for some inspiration to find
...
It’s like walking over glass
all our time slipped past
life flies way to fast
so I’m still living in the past
...
Is God looking down
From the sky each night
Making sure the world works right
Is it within his majesty
...
America is Gone
slipped into the sea before dawn
she left the world today
seems like it isn’t the same
...
My whole life I’ve been trying to rewind
Back to another place and time
A place like home where I feel alive
...
I don’t remember why
I’m standing here tonight
don’t have words to say
to keep you here another day
...
I need medication
to stop this frustration
its never ending
waiting for this new beginning
...
I'm a recreational writer working my way through school. Poetry helps me to pass the time and it gives me a way to express myself. I welcome all compliments and constructive criticism. Any feedback helps me to become a better writer.)
And Here I Remain
I wish I could dance or sing
But those talents were never given to me
To express myself in a song
Is something I will never know
As well it is with rhythm and coordination
Those things I’ve also never had
Confidence, so far from my reach
Holds me down
Determined to keep me from reaching greatness
I lack charisma, and charm
I am forgettable in all ways
But in these words
No one can see my face
Ink and paper have not yet captured the sound of my voice
In those things I may continue to live
My face lost to endless time
My voice failing on deaf ears
But my soul will remain
My mind forever sealed in the pages of a book
