PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Somebody tell me...

Why can't we be?

Perfectly balanced

you to me...



That silence

could ever wash brittle stones

and make them fall smooth

instead of jagged...



That hatred

could ever cease outward tones

and make them die inside

before becoming poison...



That bitterness

could ever find the rain

and fall as gentle words

instead of vicious banter...



That wretched gossip

could ever bypass pain

and turn from quarrel

into fond alliance...



Somebody tell me...

Why can't we be?

Perfectly balanced

you to me...



That we agree to disagree

at times with respect

and know that it's okay

to want something different...



That we can do and be

who we want to without suspect

and step above the places low

where negatives grow...



That I am free to live and love

and I can laugh and learn

and roam amongst those

who seek their own new horizon...



That someday everything

created to hurt will burn

and we will rise above

the ashes to build tomorrow...



Somebody tell me...

Why can't we be?

Perfectly balanced

you to me...
