I put it awayTried to change it.Make It better.But I ran in circles.Thought moving around would make me feel better.Like the sky when it moves.The clouds look so happy.That's what I want to be.Happy.
Waiting, questioning,Lying to myself.Coming to the realizationI have nothing else.I put my feelings aside.I focus on others.Thinking quietly to myselfI won't fail my sister and brothers.I try to hide the painAnd tell my friends my life is great,Only filled with love,But really it's just hate.Hating what they've done to us.Hating what she did.Hating our whole familyFor the easy goodbye they bid.
Please Let me Out!Please, I wanna leave.I wish I could show you,If I did you wouldn't see.If I told you my truth,You wouldn't know what to believe.You'd swear I was making it up.But I didn't .I've lived through it.I got all the scars and memories to prove it.I'm insane they say.No its how I was raised.Always in the streetsAnd in a car for days.When I close my eyesI see the men on top of her.
The warm sun is failing, the bleak wind is wailing,The bare boughs are sighing, the pale flowers are dying,And the YearOn the earth her death-bed, in a shroud of leaves dead,Is lying.Come, Months, come away,From November to May,In your saddest array;Follow the bierOf the dead cold Year,And like dim shadows watch by her sepulchre.The chill rain is falling, the nipped worm is crawling,The rivers are swelling, the thunder is knellingFor the Year;The blithe swallows are flown, and the lizards each gone
Now I knew I lost her --Not that she was gone --But Remoteness travelledOn her Face and Tongue.Alien, though adjoiningAs a Foreign Race --Traversed she though pausingLatitudeless Place.Elements Unaltered --Universe the sameBut Love's transmigration --Somehow this had come --Henceforth to rememberNature took the DayI had paid so much for --His is Penury
When reeds are dead and a straw to thatch the marshes,And feathered pampas-grass rides into the windLike aged warriors westward, tragic, thinnedOf half their tribe, and over the flattened rushes,Stripped of its secret, open, stark and bleak,Blackens afar the half-forgotten creek,--Then leans on me the weight of the year, and crushesMy heart. I know that Beauty must ail and die,And will be born again,--but ah, to seeBeauty stiffened, staring up at the sky!Oh, Autumn! Autumn!--What is the Spring to me?
