I'm very quiet
as I sit down at my desk
I take my pencil by the hand
and it begins to dance against the paper
and words come to
life
as I write a new
poem

I'm very quiet as
I focus on writing
while
everyone
joins their
friends
in
discussion
and
gossip

"Quiet everyone!"
the teacher yells out
in frustration, to
everybody
everybody
but
me

Lost Girl

Warrior

I am a warrior.
Stronger than her demons.
Braver than the darkness.

I Bought You a Ticket

To take
                    a trip
              inside my
mind
                     and see what
                         it feels
                             like for some
                time
                                           Do you
                 feel pain
                                           or do you
             feel joy
                                                                          Do you
                                    feel complete
             or destroyed?
                                  You asked me how
                                                                                   I am feeling
                                      and now you
              know
                                           the road
                                                              that I choose
                   to go

                                           So you ask me how
                I am
                          and I say
                                                                     "I'm fine"
              but now
                                you
                 know
                                         the
                true
                                           answer
from deep inside

The scattered words represent the mind and how different parts of the brain are intertwined together, but in the end, they still form the mind.

Clouds

It's cloudy
today
but that's
okay
because I
hold
on to the
hope
that it will be
sunny
someday

Against the Breeze

I moved against the breeze and
it became harder to walk
I tried to talk but my words
drifted
away
against the breeze

Wonder

How
great can You be?
to
create
whole galaxies
shape the seas
and form life
as far as my eyes can see
to
move the mountains
name the stars
and form the earth
with a slight movement of your arms
to
uphold the mind
the way we think
knowing our
hearts
deepest desires
and composing beauty
in the fire
to
know the number of hairs
on my head
to what we need to say
before we lay down our head
to
remembering every single name

and
still
love
me?

I truly believe that God cares for me

The Way We Talk

We talk through
smiles
When we pass in the hallway
we smile
when we stand in the stairway
so close to one another
we still smile
and we don't utter a single
word
we let the curves of our faces
speak
for us
and we understand
one another
more
intimately
