Tranquil

I wanna be wedged in the pages of your books, while you are unvexed in the pages of mine.

Words

Words flow
From our veins
Magic words
In our brains.

Pictures painted with a pen
Lovely sight don’t let it end.

Strings of letters
My salvation.
Places where I
Can be at peace in.

Keep on writing
‘till you drop.
If you’re reading
Still don’t stop.

Secret hideout
In these words.
They lift you up
Like wings of birds.

I hope you can understand
In your brain
A million words are crammed.
Ideas are not words anew
Just real old ones
Coming to visit you.

For everyone who enjoys reading and writing. Aka, everyone on this website.

Would We?

How far
Would a person go
For money
For power
For fame?

What would
A person do
Just for selfish gain?

Was the human race
Ever innocent and pure
Will we ever know,
Ever know for sure?

Would we all do so?
If we were put through the strain?
Would we all do so
If we were faced by the temptation?
Or would we stay grounded
Rooted in our determination?

Are we all tainted
By that bit of greed?
Or are we all strong enough
To not do the deed?

I know that some of these questions have obvious answers. I ask them nonetheless. Some questions are more important than their answers.

What happens when you make a limerick for the first time

There once was a cat
And he took a good swat
At a mouse that scurried away
The mouse-dignity frayed-ended up ok
But he never saw the end of that.

You can imagine how much his friends teased him.

Tree

You may
Grow to be taller
Much taller than others.

Don’t look down on them
They might grow taller than you
With time.

Remember when you were
A little tree
And those around you
Towered above you.

Remember how you got there
Pushing yourself up
Not pulling others down.

In the end
You will fall down
Like everyone else.

Make your life
A legend
Not an example
Of what not to do.

This may make zero sense. I’ll probably end up posting a bunch of nonsensical crap. Sorry bout that.

Thinking Way Too Much

People think way to much.
If only
We could think like animals
Life would be half as hard.

Animals don’t overthink
Overdo
Overworry
Animals are,
in a way,
A lot more smarter than humans.

In many ways actually. A lot of ways. It might just be because people are sometimes idiots. We all have our moments.
