Well, here's some poetry I wrote the day after I found out my grandpa has cancer. I was feeling especially sad. So, here are six poems for you to enjoy. If anyone reads this. Which they probably won't. Feedback would be appreciated.
Strong
I choke down
The lump in my throat
I have to stay strong
So instead of crying
I scoop up a book
I have friends to hug
Books to read
Songs to sing
Tears to keep bottled up
Until I'm safe in bed
With covers over my head
Lost in thought
Where nobody can see me
And there's nobody to be
Strong for
Ignorance
It's amazing
How bad you feel
When you live
In complete
Ignorance
And bliss
Until you realize
That something is
Wrong
Want
I want to get lost in a book.
I want to get out my feelings.
I want people to know how I feel
Without even knowing at all.
I want someone to give me a hug
And tell me it will be okay
And really know it's true
Or at least believe.
I want the world to shut up
And give me a meager moment of peace.
I want them to stop pushing me around
And consider that others have feelings, too.
I just want someone to understand.
I want anyone to understand.
And I want them to tell me
That they get it.
So I sit and wait
Until she's here.
I speak three words
And I have what I want.
Words
How can someone
Speak so few words
And get such a
Message across?
It all depends
On the words
You pick.
Items
An old tape measure
And a silver coin
Are the two objects
Hidden in my buttoned pocket
Because they are gifts
From someone special.
The Only Thing
The only thing that hurts worse
Than knowing the entire story
Is knowing only part of it
And missing the details
That are the difference
Between life and death
The one thing that hurts less
Than knowing the story
Is not knowing of it's existance at all
But when you hear about it
Your mind will be flooded with emotions
And you have to pick the one you feel most
