No Coincidences Poem by Alandra Nicole Moreira

These things I feel I cannot control
They flow through me like a sudden water fall in a raging river
Taking me by surprise, scaring and confusing me
I hate these feelings yet I love the one making me feel them

These things running through my mind
Are running a never ending marathon
And I just sit here trying to figure out what's going on
Yet the place it all started is unmistakably clear

The people judging my every move are just faces
The blur as I fly past them
They're saying things, whispering with no end
But only one I always see, only one I always hear

The things I care about the most
They are all the same
Leaving just as fast as they came
But this, this stayed with me

The things that hide
The thoughts that no body knows
The deep scar that never shows
I wear in plain sight

The words I know they speak
The things I know the think
The things on the verge, on the brink
Don't help

Whatever reason there may be
Whatever brought this through
Or whatever hidden truth
There is one thing unmistakably clear
One thing I know

This is all for a reason
I'll mostly feel stupid in the end
For knowing and not expecting
For caring so much

I know there is more to come
I know questions will be answered
I know somehow it'll all workout
Because I know
I know

There are no coincidences
