Emptiness
that I cannot fill
Darkness
can’t see until
Morning
is too far away
Choking
with too much to say
Drowning
in the deepest abyss
Sadness
is there more than this?

My soul is weary, worn and tired
so far beyond my years
one day gone and then the next
before I’ve even stopped to rest
and soon the time is gone.
The feeling fades from blue to grey
and summertime is spent
while I sigh and while I try
to pay off my youthful debts
and still I work and toil and grieve
and try to make things go
even though, looking back,
I could have told me so.
I feel like I’ve begun to fade,
flowers ducking into hibernation
before winter’s cold embrace

When I start to fall apart,
please just walk away
Please don’t call my house again
because I don’t know what to say
Please let me get over you,
just leave me all alone
Don’t even think about bothering me,
I need time on my own.
I need some space to get over you
Then I’ll be just fine
But I need a little time to think
so I can get you off my mind
Maybe after time has passed,
I can look at you and I won’t cry
But til then, just leave me alone
and let the part of me that needs you, die

To keep you safe against all danger,
protect you from all hate and anger,
watch over you while you’re asleep
and never feel you’ve gone too deep
No bad dreams will wake you, ever
I’ll keep you warm and safe forever
to chase away bad dreams and fears
until the light of day draws near
but even after night has gone
I’ll still protect you with my song

healing breeze brushes through hair
entranced by moonlit wanderings
through murky depths
soul-searching wordless thought
envelops consciousness
until yesterdays disappear
and recede into dim nothings
they can’t hurt me anymore
reality of NOW hypnotizes blind eyes
into forgetful peace
the ability to draw on past
but not drown in it
serenity entwines its’ essensce
into everyday meetings
with trustworthy souls
the ability to share
lessens the burdens of life
lifts the weight of the world for awhile
lends time to heal, to grow.
I can feel the sun!
I can see the sky!
I almost think that I can fly!

I am a full cup
one drop
will make
me overflow
I am a dam
weakened by
erosive forces
holding back a
thousand pounds
of pressure
but just barely
please send reinforcements
before it’s too late –
patch me, fill in
the cracks

This was something that I wrote for a class assignment when I was in the 5th grade. Even then, apparently, I was not a conformist. I wonder what my teacher thought of this. I don’t even know what grade I got. I hope it was an A. I think it was pretty good for a kid…
==
My lifeline
is a soft breeze
pushing me gently
out of this world
taking me from boredom
from rules and restrictions
that tell me what to do
and what to think
It is a place where I am alone
no one can disturb me
No rules. Only freedom.
