Shelcy Joseph Poems

I write to preserve the remnants of orthography
That our generation is losing slowly
I write to express what most of us try to hide
In hopes of keeping our pride
...

They say you eventually get old
But in my mind I will be forever young
To me, the notion of youth surpasses the physical
Its very essence lies in the spiritual
...

All my life I've tried to run away from change
The change that occurs without warning
Hits you like a blast of wind
And takes you out of your routine
...

Lonely am I, lonely are the nights
Lonely are the days as they quickly fade
Lonely am I in this cold weather
Lonely feels the winter, and my life as a blur
...
