Sara Douglas Poems

The smallest leaf finds its way through the earth
There are forests of weeds
It’s a miracle it is surviving, still growing
My small little leaf, I wish I could hold you
...

I cannot even stand on my own
I lack balance that you hold with ease
I’ve never been strong enough
To say I left and didn’t turn back
...

I stick like Elmer’s glue
To anyone that gets too close.
I hope you don’t run too.
I know my imperfection glows.
...

It’s just to get by, just to survive
And every time you want more
Tell me; tell me, do you feel alive?
I want to know what its like to soar
...

I found myself lying dead on the floor
I can’t look in my own eyes anymore
I can’t imagine the revulsion I will see
Mirrors covered, I'm afraid of what I’ll be
...

Dwell in this prick of my skin
I know I shouldn't be here
Daddy's gonna be so angry
Momma's gonna be so weak
...

Bring new meaning to the oldest idea
On the lowest level you can see higher
I hardly live in the world around me
But it's always been something to inspire
...

There's a child in the window
And through it he can see the world
He wont waste strength to fold his hands
He knows that God is giving up
...

The Horizon soaks up the sky
Shadows wash your face
But I don’t need to see you
To feel your pure grace
...

I’m sure it will only take one look
To ask yourself why
You must have never known
How much it meant to die
...
