It’s stereotypically said
that poets see beauty in everything.

Everything as in
the many ups and downs that life throws.

To a certain extent
it can be a true.

But, sometimes
beauty itself can be hidden.

And I wish to not find it.

Then it just shows up.

I see the lights of beauty
show up when I don’t want to see it.

It’s as if it forces its way
to be in plain sight,
to show off in my face.

Beauty shines of optimism.

This lets me know that
whatever I am going through
it will be overcome.
Clay Face Mar 2020
Disconnected, self destructive,
every moment alone and soon out of time.
Don’t desperately pull anything to breast.
But clocks run out, and panic will a set.

Hold your breath now, what’s the hurry,
these things cannot be forced.
Step on your toes, around this blushing rose.
Your stomping will bring the end of time.

Once distant, infancy blinded me.
I pushed you away, before so evilly.
Reality will wash away the falsify of order.
The fatuousness of lonesome is round the corner.

Ego and fear sublimated away!
I’ve seared you, now honest and vulnerable.
I hope this state can repair a path so dismal.
Constructed with puberal malice and discontent.
Apologies I can give, but actions scream.
Let me love incontinent.

Far too long, we’ve sat in complacence.
Now youth has boiled away we can see.
I’ve been dilating connection to a crony.
One I clench so profoundly.

Connected like roots to soil.
Far past our old toil.
Juxtaposed, we are paradoxical.
But we’re both connected to nobody.

You are something.
You just gotta find the right people to be someone to.
Real friends.

What is this normal we’re all seeking?

Has anyone ever found it?
Amanda Kay Burke Feb 2020
It has been awhile since I've written
Busy and it's hard to find time
I know that each first word I write
The start of a difficult climb

Every foothold hard to find
Work for each sentence and letter
When I finally reach the end
Feel as if I could have done better
Written 8-11-13

I have almost posted every old poem i have from middle school (2007) through 2017
Casey Rodger Feb 2020
I be this man
Who walks his path
No solid plan
I feel the dark

I need say nothing
They see how i live
Happiness I'm bluffing
Myself one day I'll forgive

I'm scared because i try
To search for what I'll never
Understand my cry
My purpose I'll endeavor

I see my life
In all it's wonders
I take my knife
Stand tall to thunders

Some times i feel so lost
Nobody's with me here
My smile comes at cost
Forever sadness in my cheer

I hold on like they tell me
I won't give up on me
I'll find my place to be
And everyone will see

One day my time will come
I see how strong I'll be
The man i will become
An improved type of me
