losing yourself
ScorpioPoems Sep 2017
There are Poems, Songs, People talking about losing themselves. I read the lines, sang along and listened. Until i found out what it really meant. Losing yourself is a tragedy. Unexpected and undeniable. A slow process. And you can only watch yourself losing. Losing hope, happiness and your dreams. I stopped singing along. My mind was lost, and so was my voice. You don´t find out who you are in the blur of it all. You find out who you are when everything is quiet. I found my voice again. To sing when they talk about losing themselves. Not to sing along, but to sing for them

Stones
ScorpioPoems Jun 2017
i´ve been walking on rocky Ground
trying to lift heavy Stones,
rolling them uphill, pulling them down
shaking, stumbling, shoving

it took me a while to realize one thing
some Stones never move
some Rocks never roll
never turning, tipping, trembling

so this Ground will stay rocky
a few Stones will move
some mark my Way
but i´ll be walking, wandering, winning
We all walk on our individual, rocky Path. We all have Obstacles on those Paths and i like to picture them as Stones. Some of them, we can lift. Some of them, we can't. And it´s our choice to rather lose our Strength on them or just walk around them. Do not put your Efforts into things you can't change. Focus on your Path, focus on your Aim. You are not in a hurry. Time is relative. Our Visions are not

Roses
ScorpioPoems Jun 2017
If only the Roses in me would not wither,
slowly losing all their leaves,
how crumbled they look - like old leather,
longing for their Gardener

fragile glass
ScorpioPoems Jun 2017
Sometimes we lose ourselves in the rush of time and push ourselves too hard.
Lose sleep, lose friends and lose our minds.
Covering up the pain just like we cover up those undereyes.
We are fragile, just like glass.
But we tend to forget that glass can crack.

A Poem
ScorpioPoems Jun 2017
If you'd ask me to write you a poem
I'd need a forest for paper,
thousand liters of ink
a million tons of eraser
I'd go and leave home
to find words good enough
I wish i could find them

I guess i'd never return

You can't be afraid of failure
You've failed a million times
But you're still here
Undefeated

Enough
ScorpioPoems Jul 2017
You don't have to be better
Don't say you have to do better
You already are enough
more than you think

make it right
ScorpioPoems Jul 2017
Let's forget it all and meet again
Introduce each other and start over
Let's forget the fights and tears
Slow it down, don't rush, don't hurry
You know the 'us' could work
Let's try again to make it right

Poison
ScorpioPoems Jun 2017
I´m the poet, you´re my poison
you´re my living dry spell
searching words as bittersweet
as your love, refusing to dwell

It hurts what you didn't say

I danced under thunder storms
wondering why I got a cold

light blue
ScorpioPoems Jun 2017
light blue blanket in her hand
light blue eyes seeing stars
dreaming dreams of distant years

i owe it to her
to make those light blue dreams come true

— The End —
