Khaleel Steir Poems

I’m lost in the dark labyrinth of my mind
For there is no way out, no exits, only dead ends
Why am I trapped here?
Help! Somebody please help me
...

The wind howls as the storm rages on
Trees dancing and leaves celebrating
It's dangerous out there
A tree falls from dancing to hard
...

We travel through time daily, crossing decades
Yet we focus on the past
We close our eyes and begin to venture minutes, hours in reverse
Searching for opportunities we may have may have missed
...

An outcast. A stranger. An outsider. I'm a shadow in this world.
Nobody cares, the only care about themselves.
My shadow has even left me; actually, my shadow and I have switched places.
Depression has shackled me and holds me hostage.
...

An unstoppable force, like a tidal wave crashing over my competition
You can't stop this man, who blows past the obstacles.
I'm the Micheal Jordan of anything I do.
...

My hard work goes unnoticed for years. I'm a nobody.
I feel like Robin, Batman’s sidekick.
A pat on the back, at most. Why even try then?
So when will it be my turn? !
...

As the light begins to fade, the day is coming to an end
After the day of laughs, fun, memories, and good friends
It's time to finally go home
...

You are the brightest star in the night sky
Brighter than the sun itself
You smile, brighter than an exploding star
Nothing can truly be said to capture your true beauty
...

To define what in thee world my teacher writes on the board
I clearly see gibberish or some strange scribbling on the board
How will solving these strange and complicated equations that having nothing to do with life?
...

Why do I feel so empty inside?
Like a hollow tree
Yet so many people know me,
Call me their friend, tell me I'm important to them
...
