 The first set of poems are by my son, Trevor. Of course being his mother I think they are very good. He says that he writes when he is depressed because it helps him. He hasn't written in a while so he has been doing well. Most of these poems were written when he was 15 and 16.  To Hear To hear my thoughts is to see my heart. I block you out and don't let you near because to hear my thoughts is to see my heart. I push you away and don't let you near because to hear my thoughts is to see my heart. I let you near to hear my thoughts will you push me away because you see my heart?  Close When you are close I feel warm inside When you are close I can feel your heartbeat When you are close I shut out the world When you are close I want to make you safe When you are close I smell your hair When you are close I feel no pain When you are close I want to tell you I love you When you are close I lose all my fears When you are close I can shed no tears When you are close I want to give you the world. Day by Day Day by day I think of you. Day by day it never ends. Day by day I love no other. Day by day I want to die. Day by day I live another. Why Do We? Why do we play with feelings of other people? Why do we fight things we know nothing of? Why do we hurt the things we love? Why are we unforgiving for little things? Why do we hate for no reason? Why don't we forgive? The Light I reach for the light but there is nothing there. I feel for the heart but there is just cold. I reach for you but it's just an image. Love Love is a feeling so they say, or is it just a word. Love is an expression that people throw around or did they forget the meaning? Is love a word like hate, or something grander? Today Today is another day a new adventure with new things to experience. The joy of life the ultimate high. I Want I want to have the things I cannot have. I want the things I do not need. I close my eyes and shut out the world. I’m blind to the things I have because, I want what I cannot have, and I want the things I do not need. I Feel Alone I feel alone when you are gone. I feel alive when you are around. I lose a breath when I see your face. I feel warm when I kiss your lips. No Longer No longer can I hide. No longer can I keep this feeling inside. No longer can I fear to lose. No longer can I keep my head down. No longer can I keep my mouth shut. I Want To See I want to see the person inside. I want to get past all this shit. I’m tired of all these fake façades. I’m tired of lives unhappiness. I want to be happy all the time. You Believe You believe people when they tell you they love you. You believe people when even in your heart you know it's false. You believe people and your heart is so easily broken. You believe people and let them see your true self. You believe people when they say they will change. You believe people until you can no longer believe their lies. I No Longer I no longer know all the answers. I no longer know where I'm going. I no longer know what I am doing. I no longer know what to say. My opinion of life was to live it to the fullest, but I no longer know. Guess that I should add one of mine, so here it is. Time Time passes quickly leaving our youth behind Wrinkles upon my face-time Sadness for things I didn't do Happiness for dreams come true I feel the same only wiser I feel that I haven't much time Have I done all I need to do? Have I seen all I need to see? How much time will I have? How much time have I wasted? -Dana Copyright © 1997-2003 Dana Lea Moore, all rights reserved. |
