Sam Hughff Poems

Happiness, oh happiness,
waiting to burst forth from me,
happiness.
...

Today I start all over,
today is a new day.
I forget the past, and all those in it;
those who looked my way.
...

Am I good enough for you,
so much older; full of knowledge.
Do you think that I'm smart too,
even though I despise college?
...

Restless, jumpy,
I walk; alone because
I am always thus so.
...

I have become an empty shell
because my shell is gone-
in more words than I can tell.
...

Tired and groggy,
i awaken to the suns first light.
I move swiftly, cautiously,
for my fears hold me tight.
...

When I saw the look in your eyes,
I knew I had done wrong.
Sadness overwhelmed my soul
as you sang that sad song.
...

I take a step outside,
feel the cool crisp air;
the wind whips my face,
stinging like a thousand needles.
...

My brain pounds with agony,
is it because you're not here?
To hold me close, make me smile,
chase away my fears.
...

I can drown my pain in liquor, I can drown my pain in wine.
Neither of those things will make me feel divine.
A growing sadness darkens over my already tainted heart,
to whom do I owe the pleasure?
...
