EveOfWhat Sep 2018
Humans are made of darkness,
heavy strokes on bright light.
Beautiful, like a promise
Of shade or of shadow
In blinding radiance.
We are art, ever changing.

But remember,
Never banish the light,
Never vanquish all darkness,
Without one there is no other.
Without one,
You disappear.

I'm almost underground,
Gasping, struggling to move..
They've buried me.
Covered me in what they think is true,
Little things about me they've assumed..
And hidden almost all that's real.

I'm fighting.
Struggling, kicking out.
But there's nothing to hold on to.
And I'm almost underground.

I'll climb out.

Can't you see?
Can't you see that I want to?
I want to sing, talk, show you my thoughts?
My thoughts, crowded in my head,
flowing, spilling down,
Down to my mouth, longing to be told to the world...
But the world has swept them away so often that I'm afraid..
I'm afraid that you'll sweep them away too....
Poems thoughts emotions afraid fear courage unsure

My thoughts are broken,
shattered, crumbling into intricate spiderwebs
that stretch out forever..
Too delicate for my crude hands, my crude self.
So I hide them,
Hide them in the crevices of my soul, and weep.
Weep, because I can never make
Anything perfect, whole...

But maybe, just maybe...perhaps...
What's broken can be beautiful too.
