Samantha DeWitt Poems

The day you died, you took my heart
You left me many tears
I realized that day you are a part
Of my hopes and my cheers
...

As I sit in the calm meadow
My lips drinking in the sun's warmth
My desire in nature's shadow
Is loving it for all it's worth
...

A random thought goes through my head
Am I covered head to toe red
What will happen when I awake
Will my heart be split with a stake
...

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
As I walk slowly up the hill
Not knowing yet what I am to do
He doesn't cease his trill to coo
...

I slammed the door tonight
Wondering what went wrong
Anger took hold of my sight
As my unbidden tears fell long
...

Israel, land of history
Why are you a country so torn
Thoughts of hatred wash over me
Land near the gift of love was born
...

The colors reign down
As my jellied arm enfolds me
Ribbons pulling me around
My rocky chest confounds me
...

Why do we allow a hurtful emotion like
Hate into our lives because
Ignorant, disrespectful, idiotic, and hurtful
People have nothing better to do than disrupt our sense of peace
...

I don't know what is wrong with me
I've not been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
My species not betrayed
...

I don't know what is wrong with me
I've never been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
Look at the fear, these twelve have made
...
