#redone - Hello Poetry

I repeated every lesson, hearing every drowning word... Every syllable that was recast, but I never learnt a single... done over, duplicated.. Reproduced as another version of the same verse.. Everything was! refashioned, redone, remade.. In the fashion of what was before. But even though I sat in every class.. I never took a single word in.. The teachers changed, but I remembered that one who made me resit every lesson.... I cant see anything in this crammed space... But hopefully one day some one will cover me for a toilet break.. And I'll be peace.... I resit every lesson and still all I see is deathly words.. Never heard, but reverberating though hollow bones

Lessons Never Learnt

I repeated every lesson, hearing every drowning word... Every syllable that was recast, but I never learnt a single... done over, duplicated.. Reproduced as another version of the same verse.. Everything was! refashioned, redone, remade.. In the fashion of what was before. But even though I sat in every class.. I never took a single word in.. The teachers changed, but I remembered that one who made me resit every lesson.... I cant see anything in this crammed space... But hopefully one day some one will cover me for a toilet break.. And I'll be peace.... I resit every lesson and still all I see is deathly words.. Never heard, but reverberating though hollow bones

I’ve been trying to leave in silence Escape the ruthless routines Take my belongings and run off in to the sky Hide my fears and escape before sunrise But every time I find myself half way there The ground grips my feet and my eyes start to stare And I find myself entranced by the wonders of the universe For every time I run, I come back for another day I try to leave in silence but I can’t seem to escape every time I try, the stars block my way And they always take me home, where my heart tends to stay

Stars Block my Way II

I’ve been trying to leave in silence Escape the ruthless routines Take my belongings and run off in to the sky Hide my fears and escape before sunrise But every time I find myself half way there The ground grips my feet and my eyes start to stare And I find myself entranced by the wonders of the universe For every time I run, I come back for another day I try to leave in silence but I can’t seem to escape every time I try, the stars block my way And they always take me home, where my heart tends to stay

We each have pain but, on different levels all the same hell but each a different devil we see what we may, we see what we might we might try our hardest but we can't see into the night To ourselves we stay Each of us may but together we are one all under the sun together we will be undone We go our fastest , away we run but the next morning it will all be re-done

Each of Us

We each have pain but, on different levels all the same hell but each a different devil we see what we may, we see what we might we might try our hardest but we can't see into the night To ourselves we stay Each of us may but together we are one all under the sun together we will be undone We go our fastest , away we run but the next morning it will all be re-done
