For the first time in a long time,
I can say that I feel free from expectations,
free from limitations,
and myself.
I can feel the seasons changing,
and it's been a while since
I've seen the surface.
Felt the sun kiss my skin
and heard the wind whistle melodies
as it grazed my ears
on the way to the mountains.
The whole world is aching –
I know, but the rain never cared.
It reflects a time
when man was primal;
before he had a right to fear.
The rain whispers to me, 'I love you.'
I love you,
and I am not afraid.

You're Truly Are

You're truly are, positive influence here.
You're truly are, Inspiring influence too.
You're truly are, encouraging individual.
You're truly are, someone whom inspires.
You're truly are,an force of Greatness too.
You're truly are, someone to be look up to.
For God uses your poems to change others.
Through the love that you always shows others.
You're truly are, someone whom loves others too.

Leaf

I held the fragile object in my hands
It’s veins clear in the sun
And I let go
And I watched it fall

It fell deeper
I felt afraid
I wanted to reach out and grab it
But I didn’t want it to burn me

I felt the leaf slip from me
The warmth I felt from it
As it fell, as did my joy
Because I don’t think I’ll get it back

Even if I know she loves me too

Motivation

The gears turn slowly
I brandish my pen
I write down everything and nothing
My subconscious writes itself
The gears shift
They squeak, then as if the rust was nothing
They spin
And I turn to my paper again

The Dream of Last Night

A stranger, and a flood
In my room
The water is rising
Faster and faster
I take out the window
Two others climb through
We cannot leave
We would get in trouble
A green glob, grows and grows and doesn't stop
Moss specs form on the object
It grows everywhere, it won't stop
The three others with me are in trouble
And it's my fault
They leave me, off doing their own things
My mother calls the government to help me
No one else is seen
The glob grows larger

And I wake up

Guarded

Over the years I have grown my own armor
They have struck me, and embarrassed me
Now no one can see me

I'm scared to say "You're welcome" when someone thanks me
I don't know if they were sarcastic, and trying to get a laugh out of my stupidity

I'm scared to open up, in case someone is quick to judge me
Like they were quick to decide they only wanted to make fun of me

I'm scared to talk, in case my voice fails
And I fall into the black void again, just because I'm embarrased

I'm scared of all these things, but the thing that terrifies me most,
No matter how good my armor is,
I'm never going to be confident enough.

Lights

Too bright
They flash
Like morse code
From a lighthouse
I want to escape
I need to escape
Before I dissolve

But you hold me back
