dream

i don't know
what i dreamt that night.
i don't know
where it came from.
i don't know what it was.

but i have to find it.

look deeper

i look in the mirror
and i don't see who i really am

of course,
i see exactly what i look like.
but i don't see the real me.
my heart.
my soul.

there is so much more
than what the eye
can see.
what the naked eye sees
is not the real me.

scaring me

ill never know
what it is
that keeps me from taking risks
or opportunities.

it holds me back
choking me
holding me like a tight hug
that hurts.

One Simple Penny

She never knew
what one simple penny
could do.

She thought it could bring some luck -
if she found one on the sidewalk.

She thought
donating it wouldn't help -
or bring happiness to a man or woman
living
in the street.

She never knew
what one simple penny
could do.

— The End —
