Poems From Within

Here are some poems that one of my good friends wrote, we decided to put them on the site. Thank you Sammi for your works of art.

How Do I

How do I find the words to say,
the things I feel in my heart?
How do I show you how I’ve felt,
right from the very start?

How do I know, you believe,
that everything I say is true?
How do I used the right words,
this is all just so new.

How do I give you my heart,
when yours doesn't sing.
How do I teach you to fly,
when you soar on broken wings.

How do I get you to play the cards you're dealt,
when the deck you play with isn't whole.
How do I get you to take a chance
when you're terrified to roll.

How do I keep you from hurting,
when the demons you face are your own?
How do I prove that I love you,
that you'll never have to face it alone.

Come Away

Come away oh child of darkness,
come away from the pain of the night.
Your pain encases your body,
but you are not to far from the light.

The pain you feel within yourself,
is not too much to bear.
But the pain overcoming your soul my child,
is oblivious to the human mind.

Darkness covers your eyes for now,
this I know to be true.
But do not misinterpret my words,
for you my child there is hope.

So come away my child of darkness,
come away from the pain of the night.
your pain encases your body,
but you are not to far from the light.

Internal Prayer

I wake up in the night,
unable to say asleep.
I step into the crisp night air,
then take one deep breath.

I listen to the sound of the grass,
as it crunches beneath my feet.
There's a sudden gust of wind,
leaves of red and orange fall around me.

I take a seat,
on the cold, hard earth.
My bare feet are red,
my face a ghostly white.

I fall to my knees,
and say a silent prayer.
My eyes closed tight,
I hope that he will hear.

Sitting in the darkness,
not a soul in sight.
The stars shine brightly,
as I continue my internal fight.
