PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

you are somewhere floating in the idea of the world you live in

i can only imagine, watch the buildings fly up block by block

around the moving image i have of your body

the edges of you are blurry like rain

and it is as if there is a strong wind blowing in the picture i have

of you

sometimes i get lost

i look at the roster and there are names with blanks all across

because they have never been here,

or they came and then suddenly were gone

with a ferocity only for them,

i love my students like i'm at war

but what of the ones that disappeared?

i told myself i didn't have the time 

to find out where they went

who took them out?

where are they now?

if you check back on me know i'm fighting

i'm fighting with everything i've got

everyday

every second

to fight this feeling

i tell myself everyday

now

now now now and now

is the time

when i fight

to go on

baby if i didn't fight for it

i'd be the same person i was

lost, thinking of the rain and the wind

in all the pictures of all the people i had to leave
