Dear Brother
At times you make things so difficult Always acting like some sort of criminal But amidst the frustration And despite the negation I am still proud to call you my brother Even steel rusts
Against the sands of time The only thing that will never change Is the fact that I am yours And you are mine Self Portrait - A Poem “What Fear Taught Me”
1. I started out as any child would, Afraid of monsters under my bed and noises in the dark, We were taught as children that, fear is normal, that fear means you feel something, that fear will eventually go away. And that all we needed to do was run into our mother's arms and the nightmares get trampled like slow runners in the race of our thoughts. Then you grow up. Fear gets complicated. Because it’s hard to wake up from a nightmare if you weren’t asleep, It’s hard to take a jump when you don’t know where you're landing. 2. The four sacred words, Too afraid to break them, but too naive to follow. At this time in my life, My life wasn’t my own, my words spoken by someone else. All I was told was to follow the rules, be a good person, play nice. So I did. But others didn’t. Others were mean, and did cruel things, and hurt each other in terrible ways, that I didn’t understand. I stayed nice for a long as I could. But nobody warned us that one day you could be afraid of yourself. 3. Heart racing, eyes watching, feet waiting. I felt like I was falling down an endless tunnel but my feet hadn’t left the platform yet. The feeling of falling seeming so enticing, the urge to jump so sudden that I had to step back. Jagged rocks pointing up, welcoming me into their embrace, the cool water droplets falling down my neck. Some people call me stupid, say I have a death wish. I think about them, how they will never get to see this view. I smile. The air leaves my lungs, I laugh out not caring who hears. And my feet leave the platform. 4. Just when I had figured out the puzzle, the picture zooms out and I have only figured out one corner. The walls come crashing down, the fragile foundation crumbling like dust. I wish I could hide again. Run into the shadows where I would welcome childhood fears with a smile. Where fear was scary noises and not the sound of your dad’s fading footsteps. The leap is too high this time, the landing too unsure. I can’t go into this willingly. When you get punished for other people’s problems it makes you feel like the doing everything wrong. The fear creeps in again, my mind flashes back to the platform and the playground. Everything you want is on the other side of fear, but you have to take the leap. The songs take place of my pulse,
For he had made my heart into a speaker, And only for him to witness my anguish, I sang for the freedom of our disparity, But no words I sing can ever change his perceptions, Yet, I can only release myself from this cage when I expose the pain, Meanwhile, I may never allow my heart to open again, It can only remain content in the hands of my own, He desires those with dreams, But I have only cheated myself in taking his own, I have no choice but to find the destination on his map, And maybe then can I relinquish peace with myself. Title: I Don't Know
I struggle with Death sometimes. wondering when it will come by. and take me from this hell called life Take a look deep into my eyes. can I take off my disguise I don't know But now that you're here and every little word is music to my ears, woah. And every hug and every touch, reminds me. That I should stay awhile. But I don't know, Yeah I don't Know, Take my hand and wheel be all right, I can show you that you don't need to hide. Don't know what to say, Or what to do, as long as I'm right here with you, I don't know what to do anymore, I'm about to walk out this long open door, But you've pinned me down and turned my whole world around. Making me love you even more. I don't know, Yeah I don't know, Don't know what to say, or what to do, As long as I'm right here wit you I don't know, Yeah I don't know, Take my hand, and we'll be alright. I hate school .
I would rather be doing something cool . Like swimming in the pool. |
