Shadrach Knight Poems

It seems stupid,
But it's not,

You could call it love,
...

I am invisible,
Yet, you can see me,
But I am transparent,
Or maybe not,
...

In life I walk a dark road,

I don't walk it alone,
...

Sitting in the back of the class,
The school day gose by like a flash,
But only when I sit with you,

We laugh in gym,
...

I think we all lie,
We lie when we look in the mirror,
Every morning when we say the same pep talk,
...

Looking at the streets below,
The little people walking below,
The cars and taxis rushing below
...

It hurts when she talks to me,
A spark of hope shocks me,
She says things that hurt and burn,
...

Body broken by a dead tree,
Just like your spirit,
You get better,
But only physically,
...

The sand slips between my fingers,
The last shards of humanity falter and cave in,
A single shadow of what I used to be walks a desert of emotion,
...

I remember,
But its burning dim as tho its a flickering ember,
Hope and Joy,
Dimmed by Anger and Fear,
...
