of my poems, sorry if i have posted any of these i dont think i have but still here we go 5 different poems that connect in one way or another Poem 1 To Inspire the Lazy I am so sick of being called lazy And being told that I only sit around all day long. So what if right now I’m just taking my time growing up Instead of being born and Shoved into the world of the working. I am so sick of being told to grow up and get a job. Sure I may need to think about this stuff but I will not let it take over my life like they say. I am so sick of being so sick of all of these things And sometimes when I just about burst. I think again, and realize that some day When I finally do decide to grow up That I may tell some kids To stop being so Lazy. Poem 2 To Dream of a Reality People were always telling him To keep his head low and to never let his imagination roam. He lived in a world where up was down The sky was green and the grass a deep blue. Yet sadly everyone around looked just the same. It must have been destiny On that one dreary day He decided to dream and dream away. It was a wonderful dream of a world just like ours, With people of different shapes and yes sizes. The boy loved his dream, and he never let it go And sadly after many years of being alone People stopped caring for the boy and they let him For no longer were they real to him No they were only a dream. Poem 3 The Winter Marsh It was cold Just as it always was that time of year. I began to stare out the window as the violent snow Shook the house and made my heart flicker on and off again. There was then a loud crash bang and boom outside Of my small yet cozy tomb of a cottage. After throwing on some warmer clothes I ran out side to see what the ruckus was all about. I searched through the seamless for several minutes Before noticing on the ground my favorite ancient oak tree. A single bitter cold tear escaped my eye As I reminisced of the time I spent sitting under that tree as a young boy. Several months passed, and eventually with it the cold did too. Curious of what had happened to my tree I strolled down The boulevard to the tree. And much to my surprise and delight Right where the old tree’s base had once stood now stood a tiny oak sprout. Poem 4 Alone and Yet Un-afraid “Hello†I whisper once again As your ghost turns and smiles back at me. I motion for you to sit next to me But instead you stay in the same position That you have for years and year before. I’m haunted by all the space that I will live without you. Others may find me crazy, and others insane. But just to talk to you makes me feel almost Whole again. I carry on our conversations Your words too of course. I beg over and over again to your ghost “Please come back to me, please come and sit†But it just continues to smile and wave As if to say “I truly am sorry but we have left you Both of us of course†So as I sit and beg to you going steadily insane I realize that you have left me alone forever and ever still. Poem 5 Underwater It all falls apart As the darkness surrounds. She stole out my heart And left me to drown. I wont call for help No I promise not to make a sound Tears soak my eyes As my body hits the ground She lets out a gasp Had this all gone much to far But after a thought comes a laugh As she forgets and turns away afar I let it all out My last hope for air I drown underwater When will they notice? No when will she care.
