I look around
and wonder
Why am I forced
into this
scripted realm ?
Why do I have
to fit in
Some timeless motif

My disproportionate desires,
Makes me a misfit here.

All I want to do is
chase the bizarre dreams
my heart longs for,
and go far—
far away from
all this realm.

I wonder,
if I can be in my own
Quiet constellation—
Where nothing is
etched in order.

Where music
hits my heart
and I can dance,
sing along —
and just live.

But i’m stuck here
Sinking in this chaos—
Not living.
Just breathing.
I’m just a misfit

I wonder how much would change
I wonder how much we could do
If we stopped trying to rewind time.
Would you be happier?
Would your soul be more whole?
Would you feel more or less in control?
The truth is, nothing good can come
From living in the past
In a world where nothing
is meant to last

As my body gets weaker,
my mind grows stronger.
But I can't help but wonder how much longer my heart can hold on.
Hold on to the faith, to the dream.
But more than anything,
I wonder how much longer the love in my heart can hold on to me

The seconds, minutes, hours pass by.
And yet, after all this time,
I can't help but sit back and wonder...
"Why?"

what is the point of being deep
    if nobody dares to dive its depth?

I wonder what goes
Through your mind
When someone
Mentions my
Name to you.

I wonder where you are
I wonder where you've been
I wonder if I'll ever see you again.
I wonder if you miss me
As much as I miss you.
I wonder if you dream of us
And all that we've been through

I wonder if you write poetry about me too
Since every poem I write seems to be about you

I wonder if my smile makes your day
If hearing my laugh makes you want to stay

I wonder if you light up when I walk in the room
If seeing my face makes your heart go boom

I wonder if your pulse speeds up when we hug
If you've fallen into this hole we've dug

I wonder if you want to take my hand
And forget everything else that you had planned

I wonder if you think about kissing me
If I'm who you want your first kiss to be

I wonder if you feel these same things I do
I wonder if you just might love me too
I tried a rhyming poem, so that's new. I threw in a Hamilton reference for good measure :)

I wonder if I could Speak from my
      Eyes
         And See from my Mouth
                 Would I have Worded any of
                        My Decisions better?
