Have just recently started writing poetry, a lot of the things I write about are often about my inner emotions, desires, or even just some random stuff. Feel free to read and enjoy :)
I think it's true That what happens Is meant to be Somehow or someway Even if it isn't clear Time moves the clouds Revealing a masterpiece Clear as day I see the awe Deep within your eyes Infatuated by what you see What you hear Do I strike a cord When you look into my eyes? Or do you just look away And fade from me?

What You See
Confident that it’ll be okay Times will change The storm will pass And peace will return Sometimes you have to suffer To find happiness Rough patches happen You’ll push through it Confident you can take it on And beat it You’ll be strong Stronger than you've ever been I know that it can be tough But I know you’re tougher Just hang in there and fight And beat this thing head on.

Confident (revised)
Confident that it’ll be okay I know it will The storm will pass And peace will return Sometimes you have to suffer To find happiness and joy Rough patches will happen You’ll push through it though I’m confident you can Take this head on And beat it You’ll be as strong as ever before I know that it’s tough But I know you’re tougher Just hang in there And beat this once and for all.

Confident
Dark, gloomy clouds fill the sky The day feels dreary Rain pours from the heavens Lightning strikes and thunder rumbles on The force it brings Makes the ground rumble and groan Hail falls from up above At first, penny sized Which then grows to golf ***** Cracks form in the ground The earth shakes overwhelmingly The sky opens its inner fury And unleashes it on the world below A tornado forms through it all Fear is evident in the air Within the hour All fades away As the sun returns to a clear blue sky.

Storm Clouds (revised)
Dark and gloomy clouds fill the sky The day begins to feel dreary Rain pours from the heavens Lightning strikes the earth as thunder rumbles on The sheer force which it brings Makes the ground rumble and groan Hail falls from up above At first, penny sized Eventually, they grow to golf ***** Cracks begin to form in the ground As the earth begins to shake all around The sky opens up its inner fury And unleashes it on those below A tornado forms through the turmoil Fear is evident all around But, within the hour All begins to fade away And the sun returns to a clear blue sky.

Storm Clouds
Stuck wanting something more, Stuck knowing I can do better, Stuck living and feeling all alone, Stuck to my depression like glue. Stuck to my "what ifs" and "if onlys", Stuck to thinking about the past, Stuck feeling like less than a man, Stuck feeling my heart be broken again.

Stuck Again
Wandering down the highway Which has been abandoned for decades A bridge by the water, bruised and beaten down For Mother Nature has shown her wrath, but it stands tall still Rigid and rough, the road claws at my shoes Cracks and small openings line the sides Is it still safe to cross? Hopefully Once I had crossed, something caught my eye Resting on the beach front was a small cabin Equipped with a dock and fair sized fishing boat I was relieved at this sight, as I had been searching for life for weeks Many have died in wake of the recent attacks, but some still stand Parts of our country remained unscathed, but not many I dashed to the door to see if anyone was there And yes, an answer! "Hello!" I said, "I survived too!" The man opened the door cautiously He stopped for a breath, then said, "You're a very lucky man, but I have news for you." I pondered what it could possibly be? He then said,"The nation is in tatters. We lost the war." I froze with fear, I knew what was coming The enemy was approaching, and there was nothing we could do All we did from there is wait, waiting for what fate had for us.

The Aftermath
On a bright summer afternoon Down by the old pine tree Lived a man by the name of Lee He said to meet him home by high noon As I sailed to go to meet Lee My ship begun to toss and turn in the angry sea The furious waters brought me to shore And then I was saved in El Salvador.

The Voyage
Although some things may not be good for you It is good for the greater good For all of us, we believe That one man's sacrifice, is the greatest there is.

Greater Good
As the sweat rolls off your body While you lie awake in bed Pretending it didn't happen And wishing you were dead.
