Poems

Blind Eyes

Is it any wonder I feel different?

Is it any wonder I feel alone?

I saunter down the halls of life and feel like a traffic cone.

Standing out is an understatement, fitting in is a dream, never true.

The people who do know me and are kind are a count of very few.

To define alone in the halls of this life is said in all their cries

A

Loser

On a

Never ending

Extreme

A no one in their eyes.

They don’t see what’s ahead of them nor could they ever know

What things I’m facing in my life, the things I do not show.

All they see is themselves, their cars, their sports, their friends.

No matter where you go in life the blindness never ends!

To walk alone in a place so large with kids and halls galore

They do not see what all they have, but whine that they want more.

I look into the blue, searching answers in the skies.

Yet I know, no matter what I find they will never know may sighs.

I know they will never see anything through their closed, blind eyes.

 

Song For Daddy

Life's so very hard,

if I only knew the key

I feel as if I'd make life choices

 that benefited me.

Not burdening my family 

nor disappointing what I could be.

Yet I don't know what I could do to 

to serve this world, to serve you!

I feel like, I always let you down

Never kept you on my mind

or let your spirit be around.

Don't leave me now.

I beg of you.

I need you more than I ever knew.

I know it's hard to keep me in your heart

when all I've done is hurt you

and disappoint you from the start.

But I don't know what I should do

to live my life in sight of you.

Will you hold me and never let me go?

Lift my feet above the ground

and lift my very soul

Cuz in your arms, I'll do what's right 

to please you with each breath of life.

Please keep me close and I will try to be

a warrior in spirit, and a friend to all I see

I'll try and try to learn to be

the daughter you've always seen in me.
