Dream
Ani Feb 2014
As you sleep
In your bed
You see a ballerina
A stage
A pink sparkly tutu
She twirls around
And leaps and spins
Then she's gone

As you sleep
In your bed
You see a tiger
A lake
A gazzelle
The gazzelle leaps
The lion roars
Then they're gone

You reach your hand out
Groping in thin air
Searching the skies
In an endless journey

You went to Tanzania
To Antarctica
To Italy
To Japan
Looking and seeking
For something
That you already own

You just haven't harnessed its powers yet
You never can
You never will
It's a dream with endless boundaries

Alone
Ani Feb 2014
Have you ever
Endured something you
Loathed?

Have you ever
Had your own powers
Turned against you?

Let me tell you
Nobody likes it
You feel the need for suicide
To hurt others

So stop this war
It hurts everyone
Nobody deserves it
We all want a chance

So stop this sillyness
It's ridiculous
Nobody wants to fight
But nobody wants to be alone

Like a rock
Bending your back
Endless pain, endless torture
Never goes away

Like a burden
Carried every day
Resting weight on your shoulders
Never goes away

Sometimes gets heavier
Sometimes lighter
Know what it is?
It's a backpack.
I'm 13 and I have a 20 pound backpack
