I wish the world could pause.
On a quiet summer’s morning when there’s nothing to do but simply be.
On a rainy April evening when I stay in to read some poetry.
The days I’m sad.
The days I’m happy.
Even when I’m feeling downright crappy.
There’s a million moments I could choose.
My favorite though, is when I’m with you.
Our world is not perfect.
In fact, it’s far from it.
It’s dark and twisted,
And covered in grit.
People can be nasty,
Caring only of themselves,
As the rest of us watch on,
Helpless dolls on top of shelves.
When all we do is take, take, take….
It’s very to clear to see.
Our world is not perfect, and cannot be
fixed through poetry.
But
Our world is still amazing
With sunshine every day.
We have to love our planet,
Because we’re here to stay.
The people living on this rock
All have good inside them.
If we could only open up our eyes,
And help the seed begin to stem.
Of course this world’s not perfect,
Nothing ever is.
But good exists in everything,
And I think that’s quite impressive.
On this floating rock,
The only thing to do,
Is enjoy life,
And all it has for you.
I come to you with a broken shoe,
In desperate need of repair.
For you see I am a wanderer,
Who travels from here to there.
From high to low,
From dusk ‘till dawn,
I go on my weary way.
Always going, desperately searching,
For a place I’d like to stay.
I have no kin,
Nor friends to spare.
And I haven’t any money to share.
But I have stories of triumphs and glories.
And some of love and despair.
Open me up and take all I am.
Take the heart that beats for you.
Take the lungs that breathe for you.
Take the mind that dreams for you.
Take the soul that fights for you.
Take it all until I’m nothing but an empty shell,
And then take some more.
Our world lives divided as
US
And
THEM
Why is it so hard to be
WE
You are not weak.
This hurt you have is not a sin.
You don’t have to hide the pain within.
Go and scream,
Go and shout!
Let all your broken pieces out.
You are brave and you are strong.
Yell to the void.
Holler at the wind.
“I am a fighter, I’m here to stay.
I’ll live to see another day.”
My over paranoia has kept me safe thus far.
I know I cannot fix problems when I wish upon a star.
Wishing hard will do no good,
I’ve got to work for what I want.
And I fear, that if I don’t do my very best,
I’ll begin becoming useless.
Yesterday may have been mine.
Tomorrow may be yours.
Let us live today together,
For with both our lives combined, we can open far more doors.
Never trust a mirror.
It only shows what’s on your skin.
And that’s not what’s important,
Because what matters is what’s within.
Your beauty will mean nothing if you’ve got any ugly heart,
And you are more gorgeous
When you show others kindness even though you’re torn apart.
You’re made of love, and stardust.
You took time and effort to create.
Don’t put their work to shame.
Staring at a mirror thinking what you’d like to change.
Fun and games is all it is,
Until it’s with a heart.
Although you’re sitting next to me,
I feel we’re worlds apart.
