Hi! Iove to write poetry. See below.
.thesun.
You are like the sun
I can try
to block you out
with many things
but I can always feel your intensity
no matter where
I go
.pretending.
what if
for a moment
I stopped pretending
I wonder
where I would run to first
and who
In the back of my consciousness
you sit
with your back to mine
showing me
what only my soul can feel
without a word
Don’t get so caught up
worried about
how others see you
that you forget how
to see yourself
.compounded.
when we refuse to feel
what is hard
what is painful
what we fear
we deny ourselves
the wonderful gift
of knowing who we are
.maybe.
Maybe that faint voice
in the back of our minds
the one we so often ignore
maybe that
is our genius
intuition trapped
in the tiniest cell
of fear
