Here’s a story for you, dear
About a girl who had no ears
Could not hear of the world’s fears
Here’s a story for you, dear
About a boy’s vision so unclear
He could not see his mother’s tears
Here’s a story for you, dear
About a dad who loved his beer
Too drunk to know the end was near
Here's a story for you, dear
About a man who worked cashier
With wish to be an engeneer
Here’s a story for you, dear
About a helpful volunteer
Who most times was insincere
Here’s a story for you, dear
About a woman’s failed pap smear
Preparing for a condition so severe
Here’s a story for you, dear
Although we try to persevere
*We all want to disappear

You mustn’t forget

If you don’t you’ll regret
Write

I'm afraid I'm obsessed
Write
Write
Write
Or slightly possessed
Write

Write
You must do it with order
Write

Or the words will get stuck
Write
Write
Write
To make the voices stop
Write
Write
Write
I have to get them out
Write

Afraid of my own thoughts
Write

I am prisoner to my mind

"It's time for quite,
  It's time for peace,
  It's time for calm,
  Now go to sleep"
                                                    *I'm sorry but
                                                    Those words
                                                    Have lost all
                                                    Meaning to me
Haley Lorish Sep 2014
I lie awake at night
Wondering what could be
Terror of the great unknown
Without you is there still me
Tossing back and forth
An everlasting restless
What if I can never sleep
                                                                 Is this how crazy feels
I can sense the anxiety
Rippling from within
Control has lost its meaning
My heart rate escalates
Blurred vision and shaking
Are all I know that’s true
Dizziness then takes over
As my head pounds in tune
Laying here drunk with fear
As my world fades away
I am frozen in place
Am I breathing
Am I living
Is this *real

I know you might be reading this
And I guess I hope thats true
Most likely you could care less
Don’t worry, I don’t blame you
My writing is quite rough, but
If by chance your eyes grace by
I would like you to know why

I love you to the moon and back
But that’s not quite enough
I love you to the end of earth
But still that isn’t all
I love your sweet perfection
But it’s your flaws that drive me wild

Through and through I love you
Skin and bones and all
Up and down, left and right
But each direction can’t fulfill
The words I can't get out

Just know that I am sorry
For all that I have done and
You’ll probably never read this
Or even get this far
Like I said, my poetry
Isn’t for the weakened heart

But in case you ever do
Today, tomorrow, or ten years
If you and I aren’t meant to be
Just know I’ll always hope
You find some who loves you
Even more than I could cope

What if it cost money to say,
                                                 "I love you"
Would you have said it
                                                      So soon?
Would you have said it
                                                     So often?
Would you have said it
                                                          At all?

Bless your sister of the light
As she braves on through the night
Her cousin darkness loves to smite
May she always have great might
And her cousin see the bright
Where there is none to fright
Sister, take us to your height
I would like thank Eddie Starr for inspiring me with the first line
