vanessa Geriks Poems

Standing here on the battlefield,
I hold the only weapon I know,
I have nothing more than paper as my shield,
Anxiously I wait.
...

I remember being 5,
Running through the park,
Not worrying about a single thing,
Except sleeping in the dark.
...

With so much time passing,
Year, months, hours gone by,
I wonder why it doesn’t hurt less,
Why sometimes I still cry.
...

I believe that if a heart is broken it can be eased or healed.

I believe that we are all capable of random acts of kindness and should take part in them whenever possible.
