My Boy
Danielle Feb 2013
Baby, let’s just dance and swing.
Grab onto my waist and you’ll be my king.

We can just forget for awhile,
Just hold me close and let me make you smile.

My head resting on your chest with your heart beat
Following the pace of our clumsy feet.

And just for a moment I can just forget,
Everything we went through and just hit reset.

You just have to live in the moment and hope for the best,
And move on from all of the rest.

Close my eyes, hold your hands, nothing else on my mind.
I have all that I wanted to find.

The World
Danielle Feb 2013
The world is such a big, strange place.
And I’m such a tiny, strange person.
And there so many strange things in space,
And there is just so much to be done.

But here on Earth it’s not that easy to achieve.
We’re infested by these things called: humans.
Who by legend were cursed by a lady named Eve,
And now were doomed by corruption and clans.

Clans of evil, twisted people with horror in their eyes.
While the innocence of children fades into hate.
The hope of humanity is lost in their cries,
but sometimes there are those who are good and great,

who can show us the way to brighter days.
I may be tiny and I may be just one,
But it is with them to where I fix my gaze,
So maybe I can help the good work get done.

Sometimes I think I see a different world than most,
they all put on these masks to hide themselves,
but I can see through that like they’re a ghost.
I can see the pain and sorrow when one delves.

I can see past their fake laugh and fake smile,
But sometimes they can tell and they get upset.
They’ve spent so long trying to beguile
those around them with this secret they’ve kept.

But some want help and their eyes reach out,
They want someone to love them, that’s all.
I sit and listen to their horrible stories throughout,
And wonder who could do something to someone so small.

Maybe not in size but in their little, tense voices,
I can feel their pain and how they just want love.
All this terror just because of their choices,
Someone deemed them different and put themselves above.

I try and show those people who are so sad and alone,
that they are special and that’s what’s so cool.
Nothing is ever really set in stone,
We can change and morph and then the worlds not so cruel.

You don’t need to fit in somewhere, you can be you,
A singer, a dancer, a engineer even a math teacher.
As long as you’re you, your beauty shines through.
And you’ll be loved by someone, every feature.

I may be strange and I may be small,
And there may be hate and evil and disease,
But if there’s one thing I had to say I know at all,
it’s that the world is a deeper place, than ever one sees.

Lucky
Danielle Feb 2013
When I look at you I can’t help but think,
how I got so lucky to be in your arms.
Life can go by so fast in just a blink,
but as long as I’m here with you, I have no alarm.

Time can be just a figment between us,
we’ll leave our worries and troubles at the door,
because with us there is no stress.
Just laughs and smiles and the world to explore.

Everyone searches to find who they are,
but it’s easier with a friendly hand to lead you,
who can help you feel and heal every last scar
and see your eyes all the way through.

I can’t promise I’ll always be perfect,
or that some days we won’t fight.
But I know by the way we connect,
many more days will be blithe and bright.

I'm running
Danielle Feb 2013
I’m running.
Faster and faster until I can feel my heart,
until I can feel my breath explode,
and even then it’s just the start.
But then I hit the end of the road.

I’m falling.
Farther and farther until I crash into the water.
It’s like it has hands that grab onto me,
pulling me under, and then it gets hotter.
Like there’s a fire consuming the sea.

I’m burning.
More and more until I am nothing but a ghost.
I can no longer breath or speak.
I just drift through the water, engrossed.
Nothing matters now, I’m too weak.

I’m floating.
Higher and higher above the ocean.
Tumbling in the cool, easy breeze.
My body just follows the winds motion,
Until I hit the clouds and it turns cold and full of trees.


I’m shivering.
Harder and harder as I realize I’m naked in the snow.
It hits my body and burns with a sting.
I try and find my way with only the moon’s glow,
Then suddenly everything turns to spring.

I’m running and running, and from what?
I don’t know.

— The End —
