Aryn James Poems

Why can’t I find the magical Oz and ask for courage?
I know he will say “it is in you, you just have to find it.”
But I have looked long and hard
I have searched high and low,
...

How do you cry?
Can anyone answer that simple question for me.
I try and I try to cry
But some how it stays bottled up.
...

If I could write music, it would be about you,
Every note so delicate and quiet,
But loud and bold at the same time,
Like angels rejoicing praise in the heavenly skies,
...

Ah, those endless afternoons playing dress-up in my garage,
Wearing our tank tops and tutu’s over our jeans
Walking around like we are the rulers and my neighborhood is our kingdom,
While not noticing that the neighbors our staring out there pathetic windows
...

What is love?
Can anyone answer such a defining question?
The dictionary defines love as-
“Strong affection or liking for someone or something”
...

I just want to run away from all of this,
The drama, the tears, the pain,
I can’t take it!
It’s just too much for me right now.
...

Do we realize how lucky we are?
Although we got caught by our parents for what we did that one horrific night,
We are still lucky.
They don’t turn us in,
...

Why must there be this constant war over my mind and heart?
My mind keeps telling me that I’m over you,
And I’m stupid enough to believe it.
What a fool,
...

I need something new.
A wonder that is not found in this sphere of life,
A joy that even heaven can not offer.
...
