DAF - Hello Poetry

currently

there they go
though here i am
wishing they were too
setting sail for oceans new
it surely
will be
blue.

masks

often i can see the sadness
through the smiles and the jokes
laughter
just can't seem to drown
eyes that cry out

clutter

only when it's silent
do the thoughts speak up
perhaps they hide
in boisterous mind
mummering amongst themselves

Put on a Smile

I
“Seem to be ok”
They say
“Much better than before”
I
Tell myself the same
Still
I am not convinced

choked up

words don't do it justice
no sound vocal chords could make
would portray
the rising
tightness in my chest
the quickened pace of panic
anxiety swells around adams apple

be

nothing to live up to
save yourself

souler eclipse

sitting inside when the sun is out
close all the curtains for shade
i know the highs gonna come down
i'm sure by noon there'll be rain
