Poems
Aug 2015
To me
Affection is
a place of warmth and safety
where joy and fun collide
in an idea of future
Love is
unremitting emotion erupting
boiling flames of possible pain
a wondrous burning heat
Fear is
knowing you'll die alone and forgotten
discovered as a corpse years later
when neighbours complain about the mail
Joy is
being lost in a single moment
the unexpected laugh of being alive
a passing radiant smile
Depression is
a black tar bog
dragging you down
where even screams are drowned
Loneliness is
the unfortunate idea that
if i don't smile now
i won't get another chance
Happiness is
finding that memory
that will make me laugh
no matter the situation
Horror is
waking from my dreams
to find they're not real
and having to face this world
Self loathing is
the constant critique
and lists of all my faults
running through my head
Relief is
knowing it is only a few hours
i can sleep again
and lose myself in dreaming
Frustration is
when my head hits the pillow
and eyes drift close
but the mind will not let go
Strength is
waking up a normal unremarkable person
seeing all the pain the day will bring
and trying to make sure someone else will smile
Hope is
that there is someone out there
that i might meet today
that can make me smile
Bravery is
looking in the mirror standing tall
to brace my shoulders against this life
and making sure i make someone laugh today.
