#comparisons poems on Hello Poetry

And I said
     So?
     Who cares if she's better
          you told me I'm the best
           and that's good enough for me
     Who cares if it isn't fair?
          you told me I was still the winner
          and that made it all the more worthwhile
     Who cares if I'm silly and even downright insane
          you'll love me anyway, right?
     Who the heck cares if I ***** up,
          tumble and fall
          or just come crumbling down

I was built and loved
      enough to stand up on my knees using my own two hands
      eventually, I'll be on my feet
      ready to fight again
And you know what?
    **I'm **** proud of that

I'm so sick of being compared.

Haiku for Hands

He has such soft hands.
Your hands are tough but they are
Always where mine belong.

Normal

Please tell me,
Who is normal?
Is normal some kind of
condition that society
divides people into
or did we find a way to
create it ourselves?

In many ways,
normal and weird
are the same things.
If only we knew how to identify
those stuck in-between.

The Hues In You

I was colorblind
And I’ve yet to see a splash of color
Vivid as your mind
A shade of coral like no other.

That pretty smile
Paints the walls of rooms into rainbows
As blue as Nile
And as red as a heart any man may know

Just as the sun
You are bursting with an orange fire
A loaded gun
You are black powder loaded for hire.

Every wildflower
Lays a yellow pedal at your feet
As a reminder
That brilliance can be seen.

Never may I ever
See someone else just as beautiful
However severed
May I never see another color dull.

In greener days
I’ve yet to find something so true
In so many ways
I love every last hue in you.

**-D.B.H
for Brandi.

I'm not nor have I ever have been one to create love or affection-inspired writing, but this one is one of the very few I've ever been somewhat proud of.
