That fall onto the field
Where the flowers play
Poetry is their ruler
And their laws are the Classics
Limitless, freedom, happiness, peace
These are the things we cry for
Screaming from the top of our lungs
Crying at night so no one can hear or hurt us.
You!
You have been hurt
You have cried
After a calm but noisy hour past, the sun started to cover the lawn with just a mild sample of its inevitable blaze. Within the hour, every bond between the tips of the blades of grass and the rest of the blades were broken.
I ponder though
the thoughts I know as my own
are really just the ones of the the past life
like past people
I ask people if they truly knew love
cause I've been heart broken
A toxic place
Where everyone is fake
No matter what you do
You’ll never be good enough.
You won’t get the text back,
Roses are red, Violets are Blue-
Bubbles are all the colors of the rainbow
Just like me and you
I lean in for a kiss
Then you push me away
But that's more than okay
Becuase you'll love me one day
Your mind is filling up – pay attention
Sometimes, you have to lose your mind to come to your senses –
Emotions are natural – like passing weather
HOLD ON
By: Sedline Venord
Hey, brother.
What’s wrong?
I know you can’t tell,
But I see you.
Your pain.
Go against the blue,
Blindy and boldly.
The rolling rush,
The cooling muss.
Go quickly before it takes you,
Mindlessly and coldly.
