Things I Wrote

*Poetry book coming 2021*

She Searched for the Stars

She searched for the stars
But only darkness she found
She spent time looking up
Although never around

She reached for the moon
But her arms were too short
So she set off on a hunt
To find things for support

She stood on a ladder
And searched all around
But she nearly forgot
All the things on the ground

She flew high in the clouds
And the planets she kissed
But she looked down and saw
All the things she had missed

The Promised Land

​​I sailed the ocean blue for days
I swallowed all my pride
I drifted longingly for miles
And waded in the tide
 
I scavenged islands near and far
I pirated the gold
I could not find the promised land
It wasn’t where I’m told
 
I raised my flag for all to see
I surfed upon the waves
But all around was nothingness
As far as I could gaze
 
I shouted out into the storm
It made it hard to steer
And all around no sign of life
To prove that you were near
 
I searched for islands all my life
And never stopped to pause
I thought I found one now and then
But it was a mirage

I'll Live

​So Hell hath opened up the gate
The Devil took me by the hand
And though I nearly walked with fate
I still prevail to stand
 
The rains flood my heart and mind
The storm brought down the skies
And though the path lay hard to find
I still prepare to rise
 
The earth shook the mountain tops
And violently split the ground
Though balance wavers between the rocks
I will not turn around
 
A symphony of bullets shed
From mouths with only hate to give
While hurt and even left for dead
I know, in time, I'll live
