Herself:
Hollow
Eyes dim, no smile
Reflection unchanged, though spirit taken away
Little to no words
But thoughts, thoughts race, tears flow, this isn't a place to stay, time to go.
To others:
Full
Eyes bright, wide smile
Reflection unchanged, happy spirit
Words a plenty
But thoughts, thoughts race, but with them, tears don't flow. This still isn't a place to stay, time to go.
Final move:
Empty
Eyes dim, but this time a smile
Reflection unchanged, but an excited spirit
Words written, the "I love yous" flow
Thoughts? None. A sense of calm. This isn't a place to stay, now it really is time to go.
And she was gone. Free. Dead or alive? You decide.

Questions... After questions... after questions
Is it worth it? am I?
What if I didn't exist? Shall I?
Pain. Why is it endless? Shall I end it?
Flashbacks. Why did I go through that?
Happiness... when? Where? How?
Questions... after questions... after questions
Love. What is it? Where's mine?
Peace... must be death... right?
Fear. Why the constant fear?
Questions, after questions... after questions.

We were confined, and, yet the earth was free;
we had stopped, and, the earth had spun -
the rivers ran blue, the mountains stood tall;
the air crisp, as though it was brand new;
for once, the earth did not mourn.
BUT
our souls were crying;
our families dying.
Nature had run its course - a course not smooth,
but in time we will heal, sore not sooth;
And maybe one day, we can be free with the earth -
A new adventure, new happiness and new birth.

He smiled to his friend that day, just before bed;
The next morning, he took his life, and there he laid dead...

A man and woman to love is fine,
but the same gender in love is far from divine?
love is a feeling so strong and pure,
for any species, love can be the cure;
so why should these loves be feared?
just because the narrow-minded think its weird?
man and man, woman and woman, woman and man;
everyone should take the stand;
for people to love who they want,
for people to form that special bond;
for freedom to finally take its course,
for love to be the most powerful force;
for the world to see that no matter who you are,
love can take us all so far;
so why should there be fear or hate?
let us not discriminate;
let people love, let them be free;
let people be happy, for everyone to see

You struggled for me;
Made me learn right from wrong;
Taught me numbers, taught me songs;
Fought with me, cried too;
Laughed with me, helped me tie my shoes;
You were my father, from day one,
So happy fathers day - I love you mum.

For nine months you carried me,
protected me from everything, from the largest mammal, to the smallest bee;
I'd crawl around, and then i'd walk,
you smiled at me so bright, especially when I started to walk;
I remember the struggle that we went through,
but it only strengthened you;
I'd then tell you my aspirations, my dreams, my goals,
and you would tell me to go for them, with my heart and soul;
And as a curious child, I wanted to grow up so much,
I wanted to explore the world, take in every touch;
And in my teens, we laughed and cried,
and even when we argued, you'd sit with me when I was teary-eyed;
And even in my teens, you'd brush my hair,
forever showing me how much you care;
And when you cried, I felt every pain,
pulling me down like ball and chain;
Lunch and dinner will always be made,
On the table it would be laid;
The one day you were in hospital, I cried for days,
my world was suddenly ablaze;
But I was so relieved when you came out,
the only thing on my mind was looking after you - no doubt;
but we get through everything together mum,
you will always be my perfect sum;
You will never stop showing me love and support,
your heart for me will never fall short;
And I hope one day I do you so proud,
so I can witness your smile through any crowd;
For you sacrificed so much for me,
more than there is water in the sea;
So this poem is just to show how much I love you,
even though I'm sure you knew;
but mum - you are the best person I have ever known,
and my love for you - so deep it has been sown.

She lies in her bed, crawled up in a ball,
shouting, screaming, internally going through it all;
He stands in the garden, looking up at the stars,
thinking about his grandmother, up there, oh so far;
Another girl lays there, on the road, after her ****
not wanting to move, scared of every shape;
The six year old watches his parents death,
he saw the blood from the gun, and he saw their last breath;
The ten year old dreams of a family that she draws on rocks,
wearing hardly anything, with just one sock;
He walks miles just for water filled with ******* and dirt,
his back, his body, his mind, so hurt...
But you don't know the struggles people may face,
the struggles which come at such a fast pace;
and they do wish 'if you only understood',
but some things we will never understand, never have, never would;
an unfair life - of course it is,
some of us with utter burden, and some with utter bliss.

Time heals all wounds - or so they say;
From days, to weeks, to months, to years - time should heal?
but the pounding you feel in your heart every night;
the constant rage of fire in your brain;
the sadness that weeps out of your eyes;
the shivers that run down your spine;
And even after what may feel like a millennial later;
that pounding never really fades;
whilst the fire is only controlled, yet not lost;
every now and then a tear is still shed;
and the shivers still haunt you...
so maybe, time does not heal all wounds;
time only allows you to cope;
but the wounds - oh those bittersweet wounds;
they still remain - pounding, raging, shivering...

A connection, a spark,
light in the dark;
lust into love,
as pure as the angels above;
both so young, both so dumb,
just the two of them was their sum;
they felt the world move as they moved,
everything intertwined in just their groove;
so madly in love, as if the world was only filled with those two,
both went hand in hand together, like a toolbox and the screws;
but then, both did things they said they wouldn't do,
and soon they realised it was no longer them two;
they realised in fact 'the world does not revolve around us',
and they were just two teenagers who were once in ocean deep love;
and as the days had passed, they had spoken less and less,
both did things to ease away the stress;
and now, they would hardly speak at all,
ironic for two who once stood so tall;
and all they have now are memories so fond,
of the love they had for each other, once so strong;
and now in their hearts, the memories remain deep,
for every once in a while, there would be a tear or a weep;
funny how life pans out,
yet time keeps moving forward, without a doubt...
