Compass Poem by Sh'vaun Keeley

Rolling words spill out of my mouth.
I'll point my arrow to shoot straight south.
The heart's pumping my blood into my tiny veins,
filling up the void so as I don't become insane.
I dare speak my words caught in my mind.
I can't because I will have fallen behind.
Hum a tune of pure delight, ignite the flames into the night.
The signs surround me but I fear I'm blind.
All I want is someone so kind.
Truth be told, I don't know how I feel.
I'll have to flow with the wind and not let my mind conceal..
What's real and what's false.
I can feel my pulse, I'm alive and well.
My monsters at bay, I've already been through hell.
No more please, I whisper at night.
I've been good and true,
I require something more than a lovers delight.
I don't want to play pretend, I'm on the mend.
I'm not quite there to be fully the one,
but I'm on the way.
I pray I don't come undone.
