Sweet Serenity Poem by Nick Kler

My words
are always boxed in
I can never say
how I feel
I can never feel
what I say

As I gaze into
the grayed aching sky
there's nothing left
for me to fight for

My past is choking me slowly
killing every moment in me
It has me counting the stars
up until the break of dawn

Wounds it leaves behind
from smothered love
almost always ends up
In excruciating death

Scars are far deeper
than any of my regrets………….
what have I done to myself?
where would I ever find?
courage to climb back out

I just wana fly away
far Into the arms
of sweet serenity
forever and ever
