cover

to fight what is ours
but no gain what we want
if we fight again we might gain
to listen to other might be right
but to not listen and assume
but shall judge upon the cover of a book
is something you always be wrong

too bright

a burning light makes a pretty sight
but it's not right as it's burning too much
maybe it's alright that i'll be fine
maybe i'll stop squeezing my eyes tightly
from the pain and get used to it quietly
as others around my seem to be finely

what you see

as other see happiness i see something different
like colors you don't know
if your truly seeing the same thing
you might see yellow but i see gray
as some may be a colorful wind
might be a storm brewing inside
as you see a mask im hiding in
i see through that mask of happiness

maybe im smart maybe im pretty
but not enough maybe
im successful and skilled but
not enough, to my eyes
as other judges on how others are best im judging
myself of not enough in my own eyes
a person that seems who has the best life is different in their eyes

well to fix one's problems is to face it even if they don't want to

well to fix one's problems is to face it even if they don't want to

my 50th poem

a shadow

a shadow in a meadow in a sunny day
a dark shadow as the sun shines brightly
the only shadow in the meadows as there is a single tree
under the tree is a lonely shadow in a calm meadow
a peaceful wind the goes everyday sometimes it rains
it's different maybe something will happen but the hole in the shadow
that's never been filled but it's always been there maybe it's just a peacefulness if the meadow and the sun shining brightly

trapped

running trying to get away
but it is always there with me
I try to hide from it
but it's hiding with me
the darkness everywhere I go
is making it darker making me trapped
in a box that feels tight even though
there is so much space like i'm alone
maybe there is something to a light maybe
but the darkness is hiding it

run

it's coming
the feeling of it's presence
I don't know when, where, or what it is
but it's coming and I need to go
I try to hide but only for it to come closer
I try to ignore it for the feeling to be stronger
then it found me it's no monster or person
but my own shadow is coming back stronger than I remember
