How many times
Have you stared at the dark ceiling,
Tears streaming down your cheecks,
And willed yourself to sleep?
How many times
Have you fooled a friend
With a smile
Or laugh?
"Broken bones
Broken mind
How could I
Be so blind
Broken hope
Broken staff
I though you
Once had my back
But it wasn't true
As i onced belived
"I am so different now
I never wanted to stand out
I wanted to fade into the crowd
But my thoughts were just too loud
A whisper to a shout
The words come pouring out."
lethargic and dumb
I sprained my right thumb
But truly a flower
The sink man he scours
A scope in that treat
A rope to the teat
I have no objective and
Love my resentive,
Flying by, like ribbons on a windy day.
Twisting, turning, dodging, rushing,
missing, ignoring, ignoring, missing,
aware but unaware,
They are all the same.
Dancing on the wind,
Don't you see the look?
I glance away
24 more problems in a book
More homework for another day
I can't see the board
Can't understand what you write
My test didn't have a good score
I stand here
Never seen
Never heard
Never to speak
Not one single word
No one takes notice
Or stops to stare
For if I don't speak
I'm not really there
I stand waiting,
My eyes gazing across the horizon,
The wind blowing my hair in the direction that you disappeared.
My heart aches,
The feelings within it rush up and down,
Like the sea I am watching.
