Cry
Nothing can make me cry profusely,
Only the image of myself in the mirror.

Let's fly away
To worlds unknown
Playing strange games
meeting people with funny names
discovering treasures untold

Let's fly away
To see dragons and castles
Meet Kings and Queens
Fight alongside knights
To save the land
To win the pretty maidens hand

Let's fly away
High above the clouds
Let's continue to fly
To never touch down
I lived a large
part of my youth
carrying things
that didn’t
belong to me
Indeed I’ve carried
their loads for
too **** long
The load of how
they felt about me
the load of what
they’ve said about me
the load of how
They’ve perceived me
for far too long
These load was never
mine to carry
to begin with
Today I am free
free at last
from criticism
fears , insecurities
and other people’s
opinion
These loads
are no longer mine
to carry
Regardless
how desperate
and foolish
they may seem
Set yourself FREE .... This load ain’t yours to carry!

Let it end, now
I break the connection between you and I
I remove your power over me
The trouble is I care too much
And so I have let you rob me from me.
I let you take away the words i wanted to say.
The things i would've liked to have.
The things I need.
I'd like to say I don't care for you
But I can't help to care.
You promised forever.
Silly me.
It's human nature don't you see
Well for me it is anyway,

You,
I don't know what you are anymore.

The darker side of morning,
  the drier side of rain

A memory left forgetting
  —a spirit uncontained

Whenever you are feeling down
I’ll be there for you
whatever problem, you may have
I’ll help you, make it through
when stormy skies, are overhead
I’ll guide you through the rain
I’ll be the gentle, caring hand
that soothes, your deepest pain
I’ll be the candle, glowing bright
to shield you from the dark
I’ll pick up pieces, left behind
to mend your broken heart
I’ll be the sympathetic ear
someone, who’ll always listen
I’ll help you find the happiness
you feel, that you’ve been missing
I’ll be there for you, night and day
through any kind of weather
and no matter where life, leads us both
I’ll be your friend forever.

The place I hide my heart,
where I ran and chased my dreams as a child,
My ecape from the insanity,
Where I lay it all on the line and hold nothing back
Where I'm free to be free....

This is what my poetry means to me.......
I’m a Poet…
