All I see are words
Not language
Not sentences
Not letters
All I see are words
It all becomes a blur
Nothing is standing out
They start to blend together
All I see are words
I start to fall asleep
My brain is processing incorrectly
I stop reading because
All I see are words

Ten years ago
Three planes crashed
One at the Pentagon
Then two at the Twin Towers
This tragic event
Rendered us to feel
Vulnerable
Sad
And scared
For our life
There was no warning
That this would occur
No one prepared
For this to happen to us
Today we remember
The thousands of people that died
The brave search and rescue teams
Looking for survivors
Of this horrible scene that was laid out
In front of them
Where there seemed to
Be no hope
Now they can rest in peace
For the man that was the mastermind
Of the tragic event
Has met his justice
For the pain that he caused us
For so long
We can rebuild a new
And move on
But in the back
Of our minds
We will never forget
All of the lives that
We lost

This was written for a book in my undergrad when I was a freshmen, I tend to update this poem as needed

What is love
Does anyone know
Should anyone know
What is love
Is love some fairy tale
That only happens to the wealth
Or the poor
How does it happen
What is the purpose of it
What is love
Is it just that feeling
That you will just know
When it happens
Or not
What is love
I guess
We have to wait
And see
When the time
Comes

Thank you for your hard work and everything that you have done for us.
Here is a poem that I wrote to show that we appreciate everything that you are doing and would have it no other way.
Stay safe and fight hard.
Have it No Other Way
I feel safe
Knowing you are protecting us
I would have it no other way,
Than the service men and women
That stands together to protect us
I would have it no other way.
I give thanks to you
And
May god bless you for your hard work
I would have it no other way.
We appreciate everything that you have done
Now return home to us
Soon

Wondering though
Street by street
From plaza to plaza
All looking the same
But more beautiful than the last
Trying not to get lost
In the unending place
From here to there we go
Looking and looking
Until we find
What we are looking for
We jump and cheer
Thanking god
We did not get lost
Now all that is left
Is finding our way back

It’s crowded
To the point
Where I can’t breathe
There are so many people here
Looking around
At the shops
At the art
Taking pictures at antiques
I want to leave
I want to find
That little elbow room
That everyone deserves
Away from the crowds
And long lines
I want to find
And experience what a real traveler
Should be doing
And not what a tourist
Is looking at

Shy
Out of place
No one understands
Don’t have the nerve
To say anything
About how you feel
When you do
Say something
They tend to brush it off
And don’t acknowledge
What you say
You sense you’re annoying
But you have done nothing
For them to say anything
You just feel
Out of place
