I don't understand-
How I can weave my pain in poetic bliss,
Line after line, my soul spills free,
Yet face-to-face, I'm chained, not me,
...
There's a house inside my head,
With many doors, both green and red.
Behind each one, a thought awaits,
Racing fast, or running late.
...
A building stands, immense and bare,
No windows to see, no doors to spare.
Yet winds rush in from skies untamed,
Thunderstorms from realms unnamed.
...
In the quiet hours, fear takes its hold,
A whispering shadow, a story untold.
I've walked this path, six years long,
But now I wonder, was I ever strong?
...
In the grand halls of the exhibition fair,
With lights that sparkled and people everywhere,
I walked beside my dad with pride,
Seeing a world where his passions reside.
...
In my room, we gathered tight,
New friends, twins, brought pure delight,
With an old friend, we sat and talked,
Laughter and stories, memories unlocked.
...
I want to give you anything and everything,
But the world is not mine to bestow.
I would gift you the stars in the heavens,
But my hands are not that long to go.
...
It's thrilling to show the world
What I'd never show those near.
When they don't know me,
I feel no fear.
...
To friends so new and friends so true,
I'm grateful for all the things you do.
For meals we share and songs we sing,
For every joy that moments bring.
...
I liked basketball for reasons I'd rather not explain,
Not the best at it, but I play just the same.
Dribbling, passing, missing the net—
Yet it's your presence is what I can't forget.
