Hope (is it real?)
Alexa Sz Jul 2010
The world is flailing and drowning in its own mess
the people are confused about who to be faithful to
the children are afraid of not knowing how to change the future
I, I am tired of watching this war

Opinions are peace breakers, no one can agree
religion is a base to a whole new argument
Hope, is it real, or is it just a dream

Love is pretended but always true
lies are told more than the truth
Peace is beaten down to a seed
a seed that must be planted to make a mighty tree

Hope, is it real? To me it always will be...

Why can't I find it?
Alexa Sz Jan 2011
Love
I hear it is so great
I hear it is the best thing in the world
I hear that it is a blessing
A saint…
Why can’t I find it?
I see love everywhere I look
I see it all around
If it is so abundant
Why can’t I find it?
I feel the desire to meet him
I dream about him all the time
I dream that he is mine
Why can’t I find him?

The Land of Silver Sand
Alexa Sz Mar 2010
Crusted peaks and warning bells,
fear that hits all others souls,
howls that pierce the silent night,
caught up in a dream of fright, lightning flashes across the sky,
the secrets seem to change their faith,
and yet all that comes to mind is feelings distant that get to close.
What of this land of the silver sand?
Some say it is a blessing some say it is a curse.
One thing is promised around all of its mystery is that this place is not a fairy tale.

Thoughts of Life
Alexa Sz Jul 2010
Through my maze of complex thoughts
I have thought about life
as simple
or complicated it may seem

Many have their strong opinions
I don't mind listening
as long as your heart is really
were it's suppose to be

I don't mind remembering
what you have
to say

I don't mind holding on
what was hard
to let go

so maybe you might think
with me

Maybe you might
just might walk with me
through my maze
of thoughts

Walk with me
through thoughts of life
and consider
just for a moment
what its like

and I don't mind considering
along with you

oh I don't mind falling
into your thoughts

as long as I can see
the thoughts myself.

Goodbye
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
An empty paper on my desk
I cannot write
I cannot guess
The days turn gray
The nights are shallow
My hopes are erased
Hopefully written back
When a new future comes

You live
You die
You have feelings inside
And yet just look
How easily they are taken
Burned and crumbled
Ripped and erased

Some say there is hope
Some say it is a lie
I just have to see
Each day go by

Some are proud
Some are worried
Some like me suffer

The light turned off
In my house
The sun went down
I’m done for today
I’ll live again tomorrow
For now I rest among the dead
I no longer want to suffer
I want to say good night
I let my hopes make their patterns
Inside of my head

If you happen to walk to the end
And see a little light
Please tell me
I want to know
Should I stay for awhile

But for now goodbye, good day
Maybe we’ll meet again some day.
Dedicated to all of those who have been affected by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After studying so much about it I realize how much those innocent people suffer because of their government.

Fantasy through words
Alexa Sz Sep 2010
holding a pencil in your hand is entering a land of fantasies, words being formed is a start of an adventure, mysteries lurking for only your descriptions to discover, life that is unknown to anyone but yourself, images of lush meadows with secrets hidden in it's beauty all being written down on the page before you, scribbling down what could be or could've been, each sentence is another step through desolate, arid deserts, sandy golden beaches, glaciers that reach the end of the beginning. I have my fantasies through words, secrets through every sentence, lies that can not be split away from the truth. With that writing utensil in your hand you have become the God of your own world!

dust into light
Alexa Sz Nov 2010
dust is what is left of my thoughts
my eyes to dry for tears
Although the battle is over
the war has just begun

every last step
into the aching wind
whispering it's sad memories
into my deafening ears
it's too lonely for healing to begin

the blood that poured
is now stained
into our souls
one more step farther
away
from
the cold

But yet the ice freezes us
from inside to out
alas we may never know
the nice feeling of warmth again

Oh how I am tired
of this strenuous fight
I wish to flee
or more accurately see
to those who were damaged
oh so ever more
to help them through their pain
while also healing mine

the stars point me
to another world so bright

So goodbye enemies
I leave this fight
to start the healing
of hope
so goodbye
to
all
who fought so hard
to achieve
what we were fighting against

I hope to
warm
smother
and hug
the hurt and empty ones
and help them into
a better night.
tomorrow to bring haste and light
and change what we have ignored

hello world
Alexa Sz Jul 2010
Sorry I've been gone
It's been quite awhile
I was busy facing my fear
in a land that is unknown
Hope I didn't miss much
but now I'm back
and ready once again
so hello world
thanks for welcoming me back

Poetry
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
I sat down next to my little sister
and I opened up the Shel Silverstein book
I read out some of the poems
and laughed to a few of them
and sighed to others
it was the feeling of the poems

After writing so much poetry
I am able to understand it without thinking
but with feeling

But every time I laughed
or sighed
or even commented
my little sister would think VERY hard
and then say, "I don't understand"
At first I ignored it and just read on
but after awhile of thinking about how much she was thinking
I had a moment
I felt her confusion
and suddenly I understood
something that has been put into words so many times
yet I never understood it this deep
Although I know it is too deep for her age
she's only 7 how would she understand it
but it took her confusion
to clear mine

So finally I answered her
I said, " When you hear poetry, you can't think about, you've got to feel it. When you hear poetry, take it in by your soul not your mine. Don't think about it, be it, feel it, hold it in."

Now when I read poetry I can't say I get it, but I have to say I feel it, I know what the poet is getting across.

Looking down
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
I am looking down on a girl
a child
that brings hope
she is the future
she is what we rely on
all children are
face it people
we need those children to know
don't lie to them
face them with only truth
face them with reality
they are the future
she is the future

When will it stop?

How can they be so ignorant?

The world is suffering.

The peace is fading.

What are we doing about it?

Rain
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
I walked down the empty road
the rain disguised my tears
and cleaned my punctured soul
the clouds lift me higher
the lightning gives me strength
I can't hold onto this any longer
so the wind blows me away

Xolusalantas
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
Clouds overhead and people do not talk
ever since the incident
Investigators try to understand what happened
but no one will say a thing
What investigators don't understand
is that this incident has ripped from the people's soul
the color has faded in the land of Xulusalntas.
I remember the times when the colors were grand
and the people were nice
the arts were known well
but ever since the incident
everything has changed
in the land of Xolusalantas.

Because I promise it was not me.

Silence in the noise
Alexa Sz Mar 2010
In every noise there is a silence,
as every road has its bumps,
every light has its darkness,
for darkness isn't constantly bad,
light is equal to darkness,
just as silence is to noise,
we are equal to others,
so what difference does it make,
some are silence,
some are noise,
we need both,
and in the the end both need us.

Smiles
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
Hard times are everyday
yet your smiles are so wide
I pray to help everyday
because your smiles help me
you are brave because you smile
you look at all of the good things in life
instead of the bad
even though the bad outnumbers the good
most of the time
I look around and see all of these people
complain about there day
when you smile and say the good things
that happened in your day
I wish everyone could look with your eyes
because of your brave smiles
and optimism
I will smile, laugh, love, and spread happiness every day for you and because it is something that I would have no problem doing!

not you

Dancing in Music
is the freedom

The day you were gone
Alexa Sz Jun 2010
When I was told
you and I were young
I was your friend
you were mine

That day you were gone
I thought it was all okay
but when they told us the news
everything changed

When they told us my heart skipped a beat
maybe two
or three
I couldn't hear anything
it seemed the world had stopped spinning
and the sun had stopped shining
and the love had stopped spreading
and the happiness dissolved
into a black hole of emptiness

I remember when you came home
and you called me around 5:00pm
to come spend the night
and I did

That night before bed
I heard you say



I
would
do
anything
to
get
her
back

Now I think

If God is so great, why does he **** innocent good people?
In 3rd grade a little after winter I remember our class and the 4th grade class gathering into our classroom, my friend Izzy and her family were gone that day. Everyone thought we were in trouble. I noticed some older kids were there too. It was then the teachers told us the story:

   When Izzy's mom was going to set up her mothers or her grand mothers funeral she was on a private jet with another man, the pilot, and the copilot. When the plane was landing it started to have some issues and the plane went up hit the top of a tower went down and crashed. No one lived. Izzy was 9, her brother was 10, and her sisters were in their teens. The night she got back, she asked me to come over. I came over to find a few more friends over she seemed fine. That night before I went to bed a lady came to say goodnight to Izzy and I heard he say in a weak voice, "I would do anything to get her back."

Her mother was a good person.

Now Izzy lives in Washington DC

  I worry about her everyday, she is 13, boy crazy (in a bad way, no offense), her father has no time for her, she is influenced by her older siblings, and she is trying terrible things.

Izzy was my best friend and I hate to see her life get wasted this way.

Words
Alexa Sz Apr 2010
When I write a poem I let my
words
make their
pattern
I give them a freedom
because they are a gift
to me
if I did not have
words
I could not write poetry
or songs
No one realizes
how
important
words are
they are the structure of
writing.
But there is some things
that words can not do
like explain a beauty deeply
words also have limits
not
every-
thing is a word
like oboligiopity
or
capontiolifondise
sorry if this bemuses you
it's just the way I think.
