Disappointment

Disappointment
It makes my heart feels like it's being pulled down
Farther and farther, sinking below ground
My vision is blurred by tear upon tear
Dripping down my face
They feel cold, like my current despair
My body quivers and shakes
I feel like I'm drowning in black ink
Dark and shadow-like, it engulfs me
I can't even think
What's happening?
How?
Why?
I can't seem to figure out anything
Except that I can only cry

Veterans Day

For many this day is simply another one free
Of school and work, you can be lazy
They figure it's just another holiday
A day where they can relax
But really, truly, its much more than that
On this day we remember those who fought
For us, our country and whoever they love
They shed blood and tears protecting us
Of their own free will, driven by pure courage
These people are heroes
They nearly gave up their lives
To serve their country
No matter if they died or survived
These soldiers of the red, white and blue
Their hearts are always strong and true
They should be honored always from day to day
But we made the current one our holiday
To show that we cared
Appreciated what they've done
And that for every soldier that comes home
It is another battle won
So think about this, boys and girls
Think about what they're doing for our world
It's Veterans Day, be proud <3

Flying

Floating
Flying
Above the world

Soaring
Swooping
Through the clouds

My head light
Along with my heart
Higher with every stride
I fly

Weightless
Effortless
I'd like this life

To be this way
All the time

Up
Higher
Ascending
I go

Feet never touching the ground
Eyes closed
Feeling the breeze
Sweep over me

I sleep on a cloud
Let it take my body
To a place where I dream

Of love
Of peace
Of purity
Tranquility

This is what it's like
To be Free
