Poetry

It's the one thing
That's keeps me happy
Even though my poems
May be sad and depressing
They still make me happy
I was inspired by the great
Edgar Allan Poe
And now I let some people know
My feelings through my poems
For my poems make me happy
Even through the toughest of times

Stranger

I saw you from a far
Your eyes shining like stars
Though you were a stranger
It felt like I had know you for forever
I didn't want to leave
Cause I would probably
Never see you again
I remember you were drinking
Champagne Taittinger
And I worried about seeing
A ring on your finger
But I didn't come talk to you
For you were a stranger

The Door

I've always wondered
What was behind the door
For it's in a house that's
Supposedly haunted
I always go by the door and listen
I hear screams and crying
It scares me
And
Intrigues me
At the same time
I will always wonder
What's behind
The Door

The World

It's a scary place
Things that happen
Can make tears run down
People's face
That's where my fears come from
Afraid of the wrong person in charge
Scared of jobs going scarce
My fears can be triggered easily
But it's all about the world

Cheetah

What animal would I be
I'd be a cheetah for I'm free
They run and sprint
As they please

For they are free
I'd run and jump
Forever free for
A cheetah is the animal I'd be

For they are
Forever free

The Man in the Window

The man in the window
Will haunt and taunt
And he will never stop
For he is the man in the window

He screams and dreams
That you will forever leave
For he is
The man in the window

Destination

The ship goes higher and higher
As we fly and soar
We get closer to our destination
Which we wish to meet forevermore

We get closer and closer
And then we stop
For we have reached our
Final destination
The galaxy

We wanted to see if it truly looked
Like we said it did
It don't however
It's gorgeous as it is
