I wonder why you write,
What makes your words so bright,
What makes you write this way,
I wonder what you'll say,

It widens up my eyes,
It makes me see the skies,
It helps me see through lies,
Ways people do disguise,

Still, I am surpised how I feel,
Why is every line I read, so real,
The way your work just pulls me in,
I feel at ease through thick and thin,

It makes me cry, it makes me grin,
Tend to think about my every sin,
I look forward to see your work,
To find about my hidden perk,

So please keep on writing more,
Show your offer, what's in store,
Keep on writing one more day,
Please, just help me find my way.

Supposed to be a special day,
But I think it's all the same.
Do you think that in any way,
You could light this dying flame?

A year has passed,
Yet I'm the same.
It's not my last,
Still in the frame.

A younger me is left behind,
Truly, I want to see a smile.
My soul, my heart is still so kind,
Yet I can't smile for a while.

I should be happy on this day,
Should be excited for these gifts.
But nothing now goes in my way,
Things have happened, many shifts.

I don't feel happy anymore,
I do not cry any longer.
I have no one to adore,
To help me grow stronger.

And yet, I live another day searching for my dream,
And yet, I live today still searching for ambition.
And yet, Still I want it, to quiet down this scream,
And yet, I manage here to stay, still searching for my mission.

I just hope to find my way,
To have the strength to live today.

I have had enough, I just wanna leave,
This place has no love, they all just deceive,
I thought I would be someone's only choice,
Alone I am left, no one hears my voice,

I thought I would make at least one person smile,
I've struggled in vain, my efforts were dire,
I still do possess, this haunting desire,
Just want to connect, It's all I require,

It seems I have failed to build a connection,
With not much time left, I avoid detection,
So, what if there's no one, not one that would seek,
Seek out this man, when he feels so weak.

I might just do better, the next stage I'll live,
I'll write you a letter,
If I can forgive.
I feel so alone when I am in school.
I can't wait to leave, that place is so cruel.
Perhaps I'll do better, just once I'll move forth.
I'll meet some new people and life will go north.

I don't know my place,
Where do I belong?
Just where is my space?
What takes it so long?

I feel like a piece not meant to be used,
A piece of a puzzle just so **** confused,
A piece of a puzzle that could never fit,
Or just like a fire that's never been lit,

I'm like a shard from different collection,
I'm just a someone who longs for connection,
What will it take to find my puzzle set?
What are the conditions that had not been met?

I wish there was someone to show me the way,
When will they show? I'm thinking all day,
Am I just a piece that one could just spare?
Why do they avoid me, do you think it's fair?

So am I unworthy of getting to know?
Is it just something that you cannot show?
Is it so much to ask to be known?
Just what do I need to not be alone?

I wish you'd just ask, if I want to go too,
Is that a hard task? Is that really true?
Sadly I think not, I think you're just blind,
You just don't want me to be what you find.
Why can't I fit in?
I pray, please do tell,
How can I fit in?
How to break this spell?

The dark and the light,
In a restless fight,
Peace not declared,
And I remain scared,

I find my own feelings, there's darkness to bear,
My only hope is, I won't face despair,
I look down upon my two ****** hands,
hoping for a fraction of peace that still stands,

Somewhere out here, In this broken land,
Everything covered by bright red hot sand,
Perhaps there is saving, In this world so dark,
Perhaps there's passion that just needs a spark,


There may be a thing that I must make known,
Before the whole world is frozen in stone.
There is no need for a single fight.
For if you're at peace you bring a new light.

Something we all know,
What most of us fear,
It may bring us sorrow,
And it might be near,

Thought one may not be aware,
When death decides to strike,
One may never prepare,
to lose someone they like,

Once that thing turns true,
You'll only face grief,
Your world will turn blue,
There'll be no relief,

You may come to terms,
Maybe in due time,
Get rid of concerns,
Your world will turn lime,

You'll live the same life,
Without your dear friend,
Avoiding the knife,
Till you meet the end.

Why do I write, why do I talk,
About these things written with chalk,
I write them here, write them on the board,
I want to set free what has been stored,

I just wish to make them heard,
I wish that for my every word,
Is that just too much to ask?
Could you fullfill that simple task?

I want my thoughts just to be read,
To be read before I'm dead,
I want to express what I think,
Long before this ship will sink,

Oh I wonder, You right here,
What my poems made you feel.
Yes, dear reader, you right here,
Say your thoughts—no need to fear.
