RHODVICK LUSENO Poems

Would you think I'm weak if I offered my hand?
If I stopped to help, even when I didn't understand?
Would you say I'm wasting my time
Slowing down in a world that only values the climb?
...

A friend is someone who will always stay,
Stay through the storms that pass our way.
Way too often, we forget what they do,
Do the small things that make our world feel new.
...

Sometimes I feel that I miss school…
Not the books or rules,
But the warmth of voices that made learning cool.
I miss the women who made class feel like home
...

Sometimes I walk through life
with a quiet ache no one sees
Smiling when I'm expected to
laughing when my heart is anything but light
...

Sometimes, I wonder
how we ended up here
afraid to speak, afraid to think
afraid to breathe too loud
...

I dialed with shaking hands.
That day, my voice was light.
"Mum, " I said, "I found her."
She laughed like she always does
...

One night I woke up feeling scared,
the house was quiet, but I didn't feel safe.
I walked down the hallway in the dark,
and found her sitting, waiting like a spark.
...

Just hold my hand and stay,
Because when you're near, the darkness fades away.
With you, my fears don't speak as loud,
With you, I'm safe within the crowd.
...

The road to success, I think I know,
It's paved with dreams that often grow.
But sometimes it feels too steep to climb,
And makes me wonder if it's the right time.
...

The kitchen smells of bread and tea,
Tea that she made, just for me.
Me, I sit in the chair she once knew,
Knew that her love was deep and true.
...
