Fool Like Me

She has a pair of azure twins

Eyes a man could get lost in.

They make my heart spin

And I can't help but grin

Something about her smile

Makes everything worthwhile

She's a wonderful lily of the nile

Haven't seen such beauty for a while

I met her on the street

And I nearly lost my feet

I felt the desire to retreat

And accept defeat

For how could she,

Go for a fool like me?

A ship lost at sea

How could it be?

Sometimes

• Sometimes I feel so alone, yet I am surrounded by people.
• Sometimes I shout out loud, but I am rarely heard
• Sometimes I hide, but want to be found.
• Sometimes I smile, yet still cry.
• Sometimes I am calm, but on the inside I am furious.
• Sometimes I reach out, but think "What's the point?"
• Sometimes I dream happy dreams, where I'm dying.
• Sometimes I pretend, just so people won't worry.
• Sometimes I try to love, but all I can think of is the pain that is sure to come.
• Sometimes I'm trapped, but don't want to be free.
• Sometimes I feel scared, when I should feel safe.
• Sometimes I wonder what comes after death, but I'm scared to find out.
• Sometimes I wonder who really cares, But I can't think of very many.
• Sometimes I have a lot to say, but other times I have no words.
• Sometimes I hear "Get over it", but that makes me hold on even tighter.
• Sometimes I try my hardest to succeed, but still fail over and over again.
• Sometimes I wish to be normal, but normal is boring.
• Sometimes I wish that the people who call themselves my friends would take the time to listen, but no one ever does.

Snowflakes

Snowflakes,

From a distance they all look the same,

But upon closer inspection

They are all quite different.

Some might be comparable to another,

but look carefully,

Even the comparable ones

are vastly dissimilar. 

Snowflakes,

A natural occurrence,

Impossibly beautiful,

But only if you take the time to get to know them.

So Poetry hasn't been my thing since high school, unless it's an epic poem in the style of Beowulf. But thanks to someone I've met recently I've become inspired(?).
