PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I opened my eyes today

And welcomed the warm sunlight

Put a smile on my face

Just in case today doesn’t go right

I thought of some good times

And pushed out some bad

Put some thought into

Things I’ve never had

I don’t want what I can’t have

I don’t wish for more than I do

I have always known

Good things will come to you

But I asked today

For one simple thing

Let me lay down my demons

So I can open my broken wings

I need to fly, to be free

I need the wind in my hair

So I can believe for one moment

That life really is fair

Can you help me my friend

Can you help me move on

Even though I can’t really say

I can be that strong
