Maya Reid Poems

I need to have a talk with you
There are some things I need to get off my chest
So sit down and please just listen
Although listening isn’t what you do best
...

Every day is a new day
Each day could be your last
Make each day special
Don’t let it just sail past
...

Remember that, while his body is gone
Inside of you, his spirit still lives on

Now, with every step you ever take
...

You make the world seem less crazy
And make my efforts seem worthwhile
You guide me when the days are hazy
And can always make me smile
...

Nothing is right anymore
Nothing is the way it’s supposed to be
I’m sitting in what used to be my favorite class
Crying
...

I was on top
I was the creme-de-la-creme
The cream of the crop
The best of the best
...

I’m standin on building blocks
From my hands, my mouth, my mind come electric shocks
I’ll use them to bust through all the locks
And all of you can set the alarm on your clocks
...

Two days ago was a good day
Yesterday was a great day
And I can already tell that today
Will be wonderful as well
...

You’re a blip in my past
A shapeless soul who remains masked

Confining me to a cramped shell
...

I am an owl
Flying to you on silent, swift wings
With my big glowing eyes
I can see clearly when you’re lost in the darkness
...
