Priscilla Monroy Poems

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to the lord our souls he'll keep
And if one of us should die before we could see
That we could have been so much more
...

Take me back to the days
When people believed in chivalry
Being a good man was a goal
Take me back to the days when children were a gift
...

I lock myself in this bathroom
Crying for you
I want my daddy
Where is he
...

The clock ticks away the seconds pass by
I am still here nothing
The clock ticks away the minutes pass by
I am still here nothing has changed
...

I smell the air I touch the grass I want to roll around in it
I see the blue sky and the white clouds
I want to touch them if only I could
I feel a tickle in my heart when I hear the my children laugh
...

Make it go away
This fear
This uncertainty
Make it go away
...

I am the whisper in the breeze,
the laughter in the rain,
the warmth of the sun,
the light shining through the clouds
...

Son love and be happy
Go out and embrace the world
Do not be afraid
Be yourself and make no apologies for it
...

You've never said it
but I can see it in your eyes
something passed between us
that our eyes cannot disguise
...

A Child crying into the mirror
Holding her hand to its reflection
Daddy I want my daddy
To almost a woman putting on makeup
...
