Literature
outside my shelter
i want to believe i have friends in open spaces
and the world will welcome me with open arms
but when people snarl and growl and bit
it's hard to uphold my sworn beliefs
that i worked so hard to build
i want to believe that gods are kind and gentle
and it is them who will bring miracles
but when they cursed and plagued Him
it's hard not to become bitter and enraged
when i used to pray and pray beside my bed
i want to believe life will be good to me
and people are kind and the gods are pure
but outside my shelter i learn that
reality is a hard pill to swallow - especially now
and i cannot stop at all costs
when asked about my first love,
I can only see flowers over his eyes
where rose colored glasses blinded me and
made him handsome beyond belief and
outgoing beyond compare with anyone, though
I know, it is a false pretense and
I can no longer deny he deserves not
this place in my heart when he destroyed it,
And left ashes in its place just a few years before
touch my hand, please-
my sight has left me,
i can no longer see your smiling face
or your blooming face when i say things
like i love you.
touch my hand, please-
my voice has left me,
i can no longer tell you everything will be okay,
or say all the things i love about you
like your skin.
touch my hand, please-
my hearing has left me,
i can no longer hear your wonderful laughing
or the sound of your soft breathing
when you sleep next to me.
touch my hand please-
everyone else has left me,
when my life started to fade away, you stayed here
just to tell me in soft, gentle strokes
“I will see you soon.”
The trouble with acceptance
regarding myself
is how I never heard it before
until my mind read
Books exposed the lifelong romance
one has with oneself
And I felt so upset;
I didn’t know anything else
Because for years and years I was disregarded
for my lack of expression
and analytical thoughts provided
I wonder if that was it
People did not treat me well
and the worst isn’t there:
when someone showed me love
I only cried and ran away
My brain delved into anger
asking over and over what that was
The embrace of someone else’s
acceptance and love
Because for years I was exiled
for my almond eyes and raven hair
all around
And I get nothing. I have nothing really to do. I haven't gotten any real presents? Oh well. I am happy to be alive and to be living under a roof and eating. Have a good day.
