Somewhere
Someone’s will to live
Has been lost
Left on a lonely park bench
Waiting for it’s owner
To come back
And retrieve it

Singing
Is always so much better

When I’m in unison
With you

You make me smile
You make me cry

You make me laugh
But then I die

You’re the closest person to me
Yet so far away

I think that I should just stay trapped
But soon I’ll surely pay
I don’t know if this is really about anyone in my life, the words just kind of came to me.

Deep within my soul
There are statues
Statues that define my life

Some are concrete
And some are just sand
But all of them are there for a reason

There’s one of me
At the very center
It’s not made of concrete yet,
Because I don’t know who I am
But I soon will

There’s a statue of my family
Made of concrete
Right at the very center

Then there’s a statue of my best friend
Also of concrete
Almost as close to the center as my family

There’s also my poetry
So near to my heart
It is made of wood
Strong, but breakable

Singing is also there
Concrete and proud
Singing frees me

These are my Soul Statues...

What are yours?
Write a poem about your Soul Statues! Also this was inspired by “His words, not mine [10w]” by Lu Lu.

You
I can’t think
Of any of the reasons
Why I love you
Except that
You’re just
You

She sat quietly
Wings tucked behind her back
And her head down
To hide her magical eyes
