And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive, and I can't complain

But now take me home
Take me home where I belong
I can't take it anymore
Love you!
Jennifer DeLong Mar 2021
Daring to change
Wanting to feel alive
Wanting the happiness
I see it everywhere
Wonder why not I
Is it possible
for me to find
that joy that comfort
to build upon a love
thats just real
no issues no drama
I wanna release my passion
set it on fire
dance in its flame
Laugh till my eyes water
Find the adventure
I got you
So whats in the future
Just dont tell me
I will always be alone

Post your poem so I can share my thoughts, she says.
That child that gets to share at show and tell in kindergarten.
I get to talk to everyone about me, that little boy says.
All proud of himself.
Is it a hidden world where I am a star?
When will it be the other kids' turn for show and tell?
When I'm interested, he maintains.
This world is about me when I focus on me, and about them when I focus on them.
Is there a place not to share?
Does this mean I listen to others by not sharing?
Well, it certainly sets the ears to others than myself.

My day, my cake, my family with fake masks, uncover the truth, stay put.

Don't look, don't go, restrictions on space, my limitless.

Oh, how the sun shines on me today.

Fill pals, fill empty hearts, but they grow to be brutal.

My cologne doesn't smell the same, I am sick.

Oh, how the sun shines on me today.

I get by, without being broken, glass behind a safe.

Opposites, my shirt is flipped and so is my memory, I have not eaten.

Oh, how the sun shines on me today.

Claimed by a poor family, they have just enough to spare.

They have watched, and seen, I am a victim, for the first time.

They know what I like, and dislike, I have found love.

Unlike draining conversations, these are plentiful.

Unsettled to this feeling, but it feels right.

Oh, how the sun shines on me today.
This poem is of many, this is a series that I have been thinking about, the series itself is called "Eugene". But this specific poem in my early starting series is dedicated to an important person in my life who has taught me to be humble. Hope you enjoy :)

(Chorus)
I never wanted to leave

I will never be free

The light is calling to me

For me to have peace...

-Descovia

My mind runs deep as the ocean, thoughts are tides filled with memories that slowly merge it's way through the sand, but still existent within the water.


Ocean of sadness, I hear you sing so beautifully! Feeling every part of me, sinking and drowning into semantic memories. The tide pulls in my mind. Drifting away, to escape the pain and miseries.
I sought vigorously to become immortalized in your heart, where my home suppose to be!

Diminished of my energy. Eventually this will be the end of me. This is not temporary, if you could truly see.


Terrors in my heart surfacing. Ocean. Sea. Hear my plea. Please set my burning soul free!!!


Thank you so much for your well being, knowledge, protection, dedication to survival, unlimited appreciation, patience and understanding to my growing light as well as demons surrounding us!

This collaboration wouldn't have been possible without you.
Just simple.

A  simple person
With a simple life
Using simple words
to tell a simple story
to create a simple picture
which stays forever
in the mind
That’s what poets do
Just simple .

Everybody has a story
Everyone has their own way of expressing feelings inside.
In the end
It doesn’t matter
Who you are
Where you’re from
What you have
The great things you’ve done
All that matters is
what  you shared.
and how you cared.
for everyone.
Feel free
In the end.

What is the purpose of this life

I'll be ****** if I didn't.

******. If I did.

It's understandable to make up

For missed moments
as a kid


It's all fun and giggles.

Until, somebody falls in face first in s*

Sit down. Think a minute. You never thought about
the cause and effect of your actions? The outcome could have been different. Perhaps, it was mindless pleasure, without harm intended,  You decided not to listen. What in the f-
Face of everyone you love, you were thinking?

Another day, blunt burns away.
Without much hold the bars. Please.
We smoking.
We drinking.
Tune in for another tab.
My heart starts sinking.

Tears blur my sight.
The last words I remember
confessing to you under
the moonlight.
I keep telling myself
It's going to be alright (alright)
I feel the pull of my soul
ascending to the sky
Baby. Please, don't you cry.
Must hold tight as
angels sing loving lullabies
while carrying you as you fall....



This world around you

Needs your truth!

What is your meaning tied to?

What is us? If I am without you!?
