Reaching for you
when you're high above the sky
Searching for you
in this vast horizon
Even if it's just a 0.0000001% chance,
I won't give up on you.
"In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take." -someone

Looks like a diamond
yet fragile as glass,
A noisy and chaotic world
of words never spoken

A small voice about to crack
Never noticed by anyone
Only to be heard by
the reflection on the mirror.

Everything gets piled up,
everywhere is a mess.
Just waiting to trigger
the bomb inside

Finally the hidden dome
cracked and broke;
it let itself out
revealing all the secrets.

During this time of vulnerability
resonance comes in-
It builds a new world
this time with open doors.
one of the main reasons I wrote this poem is because I found the word "resonance" cool

Inside a crystal glass case,
A heart made of stone
Cold like ice
Covered in spikes.

As jagged as it looks,
Anything it touches
just ends up hurt:
Broken like the pieces of earth.

Meant to be numb;
Never meant to feel warmth.
But as a small ray of light
Finds its way inside-


*"It can love, after all."
Melt your frozen heart.

Knock, knock!
Yes, come in.
Let me show you
what's inside

Close the gates
Lock the door
And I'll tell you
What's in store.

An ancient clock
A jet black orb
What you see
will change your soul.

Make your choice:
leave or stay
For this spell
just works one-way.

One small glimpse
of the future you
can haunt your dreams
and destroy you, too.

This is a time
you cannot reset
This one decision
you should not regret.

So don't be foolish
or it'll be too late
Use this chance
to change your fate.
"If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?" -Merida, from Brave

In the house of judgment
Stands the statue of Libra
And there also stands
A man in a suit
and polished black shoes

Beside him,
A black man in his thirties
With clothes wrinkled and unclean,
but pure within.

The hammer strikes;
The battle begins
To defend a black man
confined by society’s chains
because of white’s vain

The hammer strikes;
The battle ends
All pieces of truth,
shred by lies
and poisoned with vice

Beside him,
The black man is shackled
with chains on his hands
and chains on his life.

In the house of judgment
Stands the statue of Libra
with a balance on its hand, balanced.
But when the man in the suit
looks once again

                                                        The balance tilts more
                                                                                          to the other side.
This was made for an English project, where the poem has to be in free verse and the theme is To **** a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

A strange yet euphoric feeling
A confusing mix of colors
You were a phantasmagoria all along
Just a fantasy, just an illusion.
Wake up from your dream.
