At Peace

The strength of the waves
Caused by other boats
Makes mine rock
Back and forth
Side to side
Making everyone lose their balance
Causing objects to fall and crash
Doors to slam
Against the wall and frame
This is my sanctuary
The place that I can all mine

Confusion

There is no fighting it
There is no point
If there is one
There would be no purpose for it
Accept the facts
And move on
Even if
It makes
No sense

Friends

Friends are the ones that you can count on,
They’re the ones that will watch your back.
Friends will accept you for who you are
Not how you look
-or how you act

Friends trust friends with
Embarrassing moments, hopes
and dreams.
Friends look up to each other,
Stand up for one another.
It’s impossible
To not have a friend
It seems

You can always trust your friends
If they are really true-
Thank your friends,
Even if you
Have a few

Do you

Do you know who I am?
Do you know that I am here?
Waiting
Will you remember?
Or not
Do you know who I am?
Do you think that I am strange,
Just because I am different
Do you know that I exist?
Do you think that I am invisible?
Just because I am quiet
Do you even know
That I am alive
Don’t you feel the same way?
A moment or two
I know
I do

Decoding

English is a challenging language
That is forever evolving
New words are added every year
Some words follow the set rules
But many do not
Words are a puzzle
They difficult to convey
As I try to image them spelled
It is problematic
Some have extra letters
While others are silent
Some have to many vowels
While a few barely have any
With this notion
Spelling is a continuous riddle
Those with learning disabilities
May never fully solve

English

Reading, writing, spelling, grammar
All components of language
Each part has there own challenges
One may be harder than the other
For some it’s second nature
It can be as natural as breathing
For others it’s difficult
As they are tying to breath
With one lung

Whole Again

For many years
I have felt broken
And empty inside
My depression grew
To the point where I
Felt nothing inside
My life change
When I met you
For the fist time
I am whole again
All because
You challenge me
To be a better person
Care for me
Even when I don’t think
I deserve it
You silence my fears
That has been
Building for years
I feel so close to you
Even from the distance
That we must endure
Every day that I am with you
You make my life better
Because I don’t have to
Wonder, Cry
Or have heartache
Over someone
That isn’t you
