Writings

Dawn

Time seems to hate me.

Too long when I don’t need it, short when I do.


My sleep schedule is crap.

Can’t wait for school to start…

No I can wait eheheh…


Just let me sleep in the morning.

And yet,

Dawn still rises, slowly, stubbornly....

Broken

Roses are red violets are blue


Dirt is brown but my heart is blue


You may be smart but can’t break my heart


You may have been nice but you have gave bad advice


For in return isn’t hate but is something you can’t take...

Speak To The Stars

The shadows follow.

The storm growls.

The trees wither.

The crows mourn.


But still the dawn rises,

Slowly, stubbornly,

But it rises,

And light will shine


The night doesn’t last

For eternity.

While you wait for the sun,

Speak to the stars....

Dawn

I fall asleep at 4:55AM

My eyes have barely sealed shut

I pray for a few hours of tranquility

But Dawn still rises, slowly, stubbornly...


I smile when they smile

I laugh when they do,

My face falls perfectly still

When I don't have to pretend to


I collect the broken peices of myself

Scattered around like shattered glass,

I hope superglue will work

To fix up the mosaic of my past...


I'm not use ...

Even After I’m Gone

Days pass by,

My life is soon to come

To an end,

So in my room I sit,

Counting as each second

Passes by.


My time here on Earth is

Fleeting,

Though the rest of the world remains

Unchanging.


Lives may end

But the world keeps spinning,

Day after day,

Life after life.


Keep on spinning,

Moving forward even after

I’m gone,

Because

Dawn still rises,

Slowly,

Stubbornly....

friends

**Laughter and tears,**

**You tell them your fears.**

**They see you grow,**

**They watch you fall—**

**But stand by your side**

**Through it all.**


**It’s not always easy—**

**The tantrums, the glares—**

**But friends never flinch**

**At truths or dares.**


**They hold all your secrets,**

**They laugh at your flaws,**

**They cheer when you win,**

**And fight for your cause.**


**Through seasons ...

Still

The day will end, as it does, and the world will go to sleep,


People coming home to rest, from the daily lives they lead,


They may be good or bad or both, but all will seek reprieve,


I sometimes think if the world should end, I hope it’s in peace,


Let us all just disappear, and fade out in endless dream,


Let cities fall to lidded eyes, and earth return to trees,


Send people to bed, and let ...

Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark

Devil takes his chance,

In the night's deceptive dance,

Truth hides in plain sight.


Eyes betray the heart,

In darkness, judgment departs,

No safe place to hide.


Lost within the maze,

Of the mind's intricate phase,

Sanity's thin ice.


Yet, through the despair,

A faint whisper in the air,

Promises the light.


Our father above,

Blesses us, Eternal love,

Washes sin away.


Demons in hiding,

Eternall...

Dawn Still Rises 

In the depths of night, where darkness eludes,

Where restless thoughts and emotions intrude,

Perhaps peace will find her, in solitude,

Slowly, stubbornly.


Amidst the chaos, where shadows bend,

It’s much more difficult to pretend.

Perhaps her broken heart will mend,

Slowly, stubbornly.


But she dries her eyes and hardens her stare,

A weary soul, with burdens to bear.

Because hope still burns,...

Poetry Vs. Practicality

Figures dance, only visible to me.


Shapes bring vivid colors, images of different worlds.


This little slip of paper, a portal past two pages.


It was only a matter of time…


Imagination shocks me, seizes hold, shakes me.


Words surrounded my life,


Art foremost among my priorities.


It couldn’t last…


Bills stacked up, the red words much more foreboding.


The said I wasn’t focused but I was…
