I began to wonder what life would be like if I dropped the act and began to trust that being myself would be enough to get the love I needed.

Post Number 5

You Can Tell Everybody

Or

You Can Tell Nobody

I Don’t Care, For

As Long As I Know

And You Know, 

That We Shared This Moment,

Then I Am Happy,

And My Only Hope,

Is That We Will Share Another

Soon

Poem Number Four

I Could Lie To Myself

Like I Do With You 

And Say That My Feelings For Her,

Are Not True

I Could Pretend That I 

Am Not In Love

I Could Claim That I

Have Had Enough

I Should Dream of Freedom;

The Lips of Another.

But Why On Earth

Would I Ever Bother?

I Could Tell The Truth

To You And Myself

From My Spot, 

Here On The Shelf

I Should Tell You,

How I Almost Cry

Whenever She Looks At Me

With Her Bright, Blue Eyes

I Might Even Lie And Say

That I Am Fine

When We All Know

That I Am Not Okay

I Could Wait 

And Play Pretend,

Say That I Am Fine 

With Being Her Friend

But I Know,

And You Do Too

That Nothing Will Ever Calm By Beating Heart

Not Even M’s Soothing Art

So I Will Watch

With Aching Chest,

The  Hands Of Time, 

As They Crawl West

I Should Stop,

For I Know It’s True,

She Will Never Look At Me,

Like I Want Her To

Poem Number Three

Life Waits At The Door

It Does Not Knock

It Does Not Ring The Bell

It Won’t Wait Long

And I Sit Here

Punching The Keys 

In Front of A Screen

Trying To Write About Life,

The Person At My Door

Who Is Waiting On Me

But Doesn’t Knock

Or Ring. 

I Know That In Its Arms

It Carries Things

Love,

Hope,

Dreams,

But Things Gather At Its Feet

Confusion

Sadness

Pity

Vagueness

So I Type

Instead Of Answering

Talking About This Thing

That I Cannot

Will Not 

Let In

Although A Part Of Me Wants To

If I Wait Too Long

It Will Go Leave My Door

Leave Me Behind.

If I Answer

It Will Swoop Me Up,

Drag Me Away 

And I Will Never Return

The Buttons Click

Life Waits

And I Hesitate.

Poem Number Two

It Was In The Dark,

In The Cold,

When I Was All Alone

I Found That I Was Stronger, 

Than None Had Ever Known. 

I Found A Strength, 

That Warmed Me To The Bone

An Iron Will

To Guide Me Every Day

And In This Wretched Place, 

This Keeps The Players At Bay

Although I Have Not Left Yet

They’ll Know It When I Do, For

The World Will Shake

With My New-Found Attitude

To Those Who Come Behind Me,

I Pray You Find The Same

And Do Not Fall For The Foolish Ways

Of The Players and Their Game

To Those Who Come Ahead

I Hope You Do Not Play,

But If You Do, Please Move Aside

For I Have Found A Secret Weapon

Here In This Lonesome Place

And You Will Find I Do Not Care

For Keeping Up My Face

Poem Number One

The Other Day

As I Lay Thinking

Keeping Dreadful Thoughts At Bay

I Found That I Was Sinking

With Thoughts Wild and Frayed

I Found Myself

Alone

In A Broken World

And All Around

My Odd Thoughts Sang Aloud and Swirled

Then Came A Dreadful Sound

Breaking Through The Whirl

Bringing Down, Without Rebound

The Thoughts Of A Single Girl

 She Is The Kind Of Specimen

That Men Can Only Dream

And In My Thoughts, We Danced To The Beat

Of All My Echoes and Screams

I Know This Girl,

I Know Her Face

Her Smooth and Youthful Voice

 And In Her Presence, None Can Help

But To Dance and Rejoice

 Many Men Have Fallen

To Her Wile and Her Sin

But I’ll Be Smart, I’ll Be Coy

For I’ll Keep Her Locked Within.

No Sign I’ll Show Of Love nor Grace

When Looking At Her Face

But Back At Home I’ll Fall In Love

At My Own Slow Pace

 This Way,

None Will Hurt Me

This Way,

I Can’t Be Touched

And So It Shall Be

Forevermore

The Leper and The Crush.  

- S.A.M
