#tall
You are a mountain Yes, You stand strong, Conquering any obstacles, Any that come along, you possess such strength, You are stable and tall, You are built to last, and To Challenge it All!!! Mountains do crumble, From time to time, Bolders tend to form, and Can Fall from on high But It will be Alright, just continue to have courage, Be strong like the mountains and Don't ever be discouraged!!!!

You are a Mountain
Because being tall Also means that you have to be big all The time for those that are small. You bend Down to comfort a friend Who's being Vulnerable. All you're seeing Is the top of their head While you look like a god to them. And instead When you look for Comfort, reassurance, Nothing matches your size anymore. I miss how things were before.

My Body Is; My Mind Isn't
Lean and tall A gift from gods Far and wide The world is divided Time travels on by And soon enough I touch the sky Legs feel to long Stand up and I feel like falling If only the long legs to take me far away Back to the old days Yet we lay in bed A cold casket and only fits me The crescent moon greets me Before shying away And Although I brag And it’s not to bad The shock of standing up And finding myself —- ft up Is quite the shock For my walls remember Marked with small and long lines A smaller me And a far different me.

Height
I've had you on a pedestal, I've had you look at me so tall; Must've been so brutal, When you felt the fall. Was it unfair? Or did I misinterpret your glare? My apologies for the stare; Must've been a justice flare.

tall glass of water
A black castle perched at a great height Just barely out of the reach of me The tower no different than any other night So dark that it’s quite natural not to see Yet my eyes are keen to this sort of sight Secrets spill into my head rather lazily But sit stagnant and take no form, no flight So I carry myself quite lackadaisically On this night it seemed the absence of light Had reached levels of terribly high But open your eyes, you could and you might See Tour Noire, black tower in the sky

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, the burdens that we hold are for our backs to curve years of wisdom---to reach peace:} hard for me to express the things you left in me are in mess the buildings so high scared to my ******* believed things come now to their bests acceptance of the unknown faces that bloom on the yellow stairs moments I found it a burden to bare then you another ranger in those brown tiles made me drink that blue liquor made me smile laughter in the wooden walls I will uncover soon even when the visits brought a past gloom searching is something I was meant to do on those borders never will I know or remember unless I read the folders feel the flies in the green lands a tingle plastered on the hands but nothing more than that stance you ****** put a lot of grace because of a simple caring lace is it okay if this while took a late that mere second has been stuck written on my fate those arms gambled with my noes even though a little lie didn't hurt didn't go far from the beyonds that red sweater a path to the wallpaper to the given weather -------ravenfeels

Do not wanna scream at you every day I don't want to fight or make you hurt More and more I say words that cause you pain Is it so hard to make this work? Would need you if you didn't need me To face that realization is hard Sleep off doubts hoping you won't see Return cause they never go far Why are you what I fear the most? Dreaming open eyes Fantasies we hope to come true that we used to host Never will if you keep giving lies There will come a day everything changes Nothing will stay the same Left picking up pieces while reality rearranges Both will end up with cuts of shame Love with an intensity so great When saying your name it rattles doors Mind might belong to me My heart is all yours

Haiku
"I wish I wasn't so different from everyone." "You've got more in common With people than you think." "Oh yeah? Like what?" "Well, once upon a time, we were smaller. Then, we grew taller. Or rounder. Maybe more than we'd like, but we all grew stronger." "Well, I don't feel very strong right now." "And that's okay. We all fall. Sometimes like a sack of bricks. Sometimes with the grace of a sunset. But at some point, we all get up. And when you're ready to stand, I think you'll find There's fight left in you yet."

Once upon a time
I could say he is like a sunflower, always growing very tall, He is always there for me, with his guy-like power, He is the one I would want to catch me if I fall. He stands out from the crowd, with the help of his icy-blue eyes, in the bleachers talking, cheering, laughing out loud, like the brightest star in the darkest of skies. The way he illuminates my world with his smiles, he lights it up and never seems to let it dim, he could keep me walking for miles, in search of anything and him. Because of this, you stand out to me during the day and night, like a shooting star taking flight.

Small Tales by Michael R. Burch When Artur and Cai and Bedwyr were but scrawny lads they had many a ***** adventure in the still glades of Gwynedd. When the sun beat down like an oven upon the kiln-hot hills and the scorched shores of Carmarthen, they went searching and found Manawydan, the son of Llyr. They fought a day and a night with Cath Pulag (or a screeching kitten), rousted Pen Palach, then drank a beer and told quite a talltale or two, "till thems wasn’t so shore which’un’s tails wus true." And these have been passed down to me, and to you. According to legend, Arthur and Kay grew up together in Ector’s court, Kay being a few years older than Arthur. Borrowing from Mary Stewart, I am assuming that Bedwyr (later Anglicized to Bedivere) might have befriended Arthur at an early age. By some accounts, Bedwyr was the original Lancelot. In any case, imagine the adventures these young heroes might have pursued (or dreamed up, to excuse tardiness or “lost” homework assignments). Manawydan and Llyr were ancient Welsh gods. Cath Pulag was a monstrous, clawing cat. (“Sorry teach! My theme paper on Homer was torn up by a cat bigger than a dragon! And meaner, too!”) Pen Palach is more or less a mystery, or perhaps just another old drinking buddy with a few good beery-bleary tales of his own. This poem assumes that many of the more outlandish Arthurian legends began more or less as “small tales,” little white lies which simply got larger and larger with each retelling. It also assumes that most of these tales came about just as the lads reached that age when boys fancy themselves men, and spend much of their free time drinking and puking!

Standing in the garden, I admire the trees. So strong, so tall, so carefree Watching its leaves dance through the breeze

Standing in the garden
The higher you climb, the further you’ll fall, With a mindset like that, you will never stand tall. What you should instead remember, when you fight against time, is that the best view comes after the hardest climb

the higher you climb...
the shadow in the light on the wall looks like the shadow of a face I barely recognize at all you stand so tall as you watch me fall I find myself in the same place and seeing the same face that I tried to come to ignore but what for?

what for?
What is it about trees that make them so special? Why is it that they make me have a sense of peace? Is it because trees are really alive like us? Or that they stand so tall, reaching towards the sky? What do trees remind us of when we look at them? Why do they make me smile when I look at them? Is it because trees are really like people too? Or that they too, seem to have no care in the world?

I, giraffe, stand long and tall, Am I the tallest of you all? I have such a long elegant neck, I see above the crowds, by heck, I can tower over you all, I, giraffe, stand long and tall.

I, GIRAFFE.
Be the thunder that breaks the silence if noise is the only way you have to be heard. Be the thunder that breaks the silence after a lightning triggers its violence against your fragility. Be the thunder that makes the storm come.
