Niamh Gold Poems

I'll cry no tears of sympathy,
I'll cry no tears of joy.
For what you've lost,
For what you've gained,
...

Is life really worth living for,
Is it worth all the pain?
Is it worth all the fear and spite,
The vanity, the shame?
...

When I'm around you,
I feel like I could fly.
We burst into laughter,
When we catch eachother's eye.
...

You seem so different than me,
On the outside an the in.
You seem brittle and tough,
Frozen in time.
...

Here it is again,
It's come at last,
We knew it would in the end,
Like it does every year,
...

When I dream I take reality,
Then twist it as I like.
Until everything is perfect,
There's no problems, or worries, or strife.
...

A smile is all it takes,
To make someone's day.
A smile is all it takes,
To throw the stress away.
...

You seem so quiet,
So peaceful,
So calm.
You smile,
...

To be brave is not to fierce,
Confident or strong.
You needn't have saved a life,
Nor brandished a sword,
...

When will you know what I know?
That you're strong, independent and brave.
When will you hear what I hear?
Words of kindness and love that save.
...
