STAIRWAY THROUGH LIFE
I see myself growing
like a lovely blossom tree
I know my mind is expanding
There is a tiger inside me
I am waiting for the opportunity
to seize my goals
I am a soul that lives for eternity
I see myself trapped inside a fragile body
I am the beauty of the long locks that sit on the top of my head
I see the clear blue sky graze over the horizon
With endless boundaries to them all
I know we are not the only things out hear
among them all
I feel the heat of the sun depositing UV rays into my skin
I hear bluebirds singing songs by my window
How great it is to wake up and feel alive
I know true love is forever love
Keep climbing the mountain
Love as real as the promises.
LONG NIGHTS
The orange night sky
Ripples along the surface
Crystal blue water a peaceful reflection
The tree arms reach out in praise
Dancing in the wind
Birds singing lullabies
Their sweet song is
goodnights.
My knees give out into the weeds
The wind plays with my messy hair
Goosebumps electrify my body
The moon looking through the trees
Buzzing please my ears
Lastly the stars scatter
The long night is over.
NONE OF MY CONCERN.
None of my concern.
The struggle of a heart
Break.
Damage.
The pain.
Shows through your gloomy face expressions
You previeve the light in all your darkness
You carry your flaws on your shoulders
Your the missing piece of the puzzle
You tell me that your sad inside
I’m sad that I can’t satisfy
You were the trigger though
You brought me an obstruct of you when you knew
The picture was bigger
Knew from the beginning
You ruin everything
I can feel you fading
Its none of your concern anymore
Is it going to work?
What's better for you than me
So I let go of you.
And it doesn’t hurt anymore
Seems like I needed you before I found myself
Guess that's none of my concern.
