Sit
Sit, stare at wildflowers
Humans have no roots
Chaining us to
Soil
Nothing to save us
From life's trampling boots
As We sit and watch the wildflowers

Look to your right                                                                                            

                                                                                                            Your left
Shake their hand
Say your name

Lace your arms together
Hold on

Shakes your body                                                                                            
                                                                                             Shakes your soul
Shakes your hand
used to write poetry as a kid on this site-- now coming back as an English major in college studying poetry to share my growth -- share some words

My words paint the world in sullen hues
A far cry from the expected ruse
On the outside my instinct is to smile
But on the inside I surely am vile
I view the worst, most hope for better
Everyone realizes *"I never should have met her"

My constant stress is wearing me down
My skin is composed of the sands of time
Slipping away
Wearing through the wooden floorboards
Buried with secrets and covered with lies

Showing how I feel seems so pretentious and narcissistic
That by showing real feeling I am showing something meant to never be shown

Is it time to say goodbye?
Or do I lie?
To both you,
And I

I want sleep to drag me under
Force my eyes closed
Lay like a weight on my chest
So I can finally be at rest
