Freedom

This one may sound a bit odd, sorry about that. I wasn't actually thinking when I wrote it..

Locked in chains

Trying to walk

But too heavy to move

One step and I stop

Stuck with these chains on me

In a cage like the birds at the zoo

Trapped in metal

For the entertainment of others

I want to fly

Fly away free

Like the birds

Who aren't in cages

But I cannot for these chains hold me down

And I am stuck

Stuck but I can hope

Dreams to fly

Like those birds

Wish for freedom

But until then, I will wait

Wait for my wings

So I can fly away

Away from this prison

With nothing to hold me down

Like these chains

Yes, for now

I will wait patiently

I will hope

Dragonflies

Dragonflies are as light as feathers

They are paper airplanes riding the air

And many are as blue and green as the ocean

They probably love bulrushes swaying gently with the soft wind

They are almost as fast as the rush of water

Dragonflies are descents of dragons

Full of agility, intelligence, and bravery

Thunderstruck

In the garden, pale pink blossoms

Covered a blanket of soft green grass,

In Spring.

The sky darkened, as a storm arose.

Trees in the orchards tossed their heads on agony,

Rage;

A single bolt of lightning speared down from the cloudless sky,

Killing the tree in an instant;

From that day on, not a single blade of grass by the blossom tree prospered.

Dead

Dusk to Dawn

When Mother Nature sends out a yawn

In the forest, a rustle, a fawn

As bats awake at the last rays of intense light

The moon takes her place in the midst of the night

She jumps the clouds higher, higher rising in the sky

Ascending through the silver fairies of night as they fly

The fairies of night fly around and around

Illuminating their auras against what they surround

Bringing dawn along with them

And an aroused sun shining bright like a gem

As Mother Nature catches her breath

She stops at the viewing of the glorious light

A light that even stops death

One that had great might

As the birds start to chirp at the last rays of gentle white

The sun takes his place and becomes the center of the light

When I See You

This is for my grandfather. I really miss you but I hope you're happy wherever you are. Happy Birthday!

When I see you

I remember the big smile plastered on your face

Everyday

The smile that always brightened my day

On the face that I always looked up to

When I see you

I remember when you'd hold me up to the sky and

Let me touch the stars falling down, the loud pop

Of a firework followed by bright colors covering us all

On your favorite day

When I see you

I smell the food made by the hands of a little

Girl who tried

Tried too hard to make them proud

Only to be rewarded

This little girl played outside with a little boy

One summer

Her mother calls her in and gently tells me

You left

Not where, not when and she never asked

When I saw you

I remembered your joyful laugh

Very contagious

The cure for it all

Except this

When I saw you

I heard you walking through the room

Calling, calling my name

And telling me the adventures of your day

But he missed it

That fateful summer

You were stolen and he will never know

He, who excitedly spoke of all you would do

He, who would smile and laugh all day

And might

He, who dreamed of always meeting you,

Learning with you, growing with you

He, who is just like you

He'll never know and neither

Will you

You, who are remembered

And will never know, learn, plan, talk and play

You, who will never be

Forgotten

Blowing the Flame

Falling

Can't hear anyone around me

Tears, silent drops of pain

Hurting

Can't see, can't feel, only numb

Hope, trying to stand

Only

To fall back down again

Forever

Change

The top of a building

Deep in a pool

Alone in the dark

No one at your side

One small makes a difference

Trip

You fall, and never stop falling

Caught

You sink and just cannot breath

Sleep

And you never know if you are awake

Mistakes

And no one to tell you

That you are wrong

One small makes a difference

Imagine

A passage to escape

Hope

To gasp air

Fire

You can finally see and know you are not

A dream

Truth

Open your eyes to see that you

Have never been alone

One small makes a difference

What Is This?

Well, this is all about writing. Poetry, feelings, emotions, all that cheesy stuff. 

Everyone has their own "thing" where they are able to let everything out. Frustration, anger, happiness, excitement, sadness, confusion. I am not really sure whether or not this is my "thing" or not but, I love to write what I am feeling when I am emotional, I love to express my thoughts in words. I just wanted to put it out there that it is okay to feel down, to always feel happy, to feel that you do not belong or that you are neglected. Just always remember that you have to look all around you to see the whole picture. Not just straight ahead. So I hope you like this and if you have anything you need to share, want to share, feel like sharing, go right ahead and do so.
