PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

here I am

singing into my bedpost

though no one hears me

if only I existed enough

for someone to care

I am

searching for myself

alone in the world

the one with the motted black

eyes

caked with tears

I am broken

as the fall leaves on the forgotten road

of my life

living on the edge of shadows

of my being

I am alone



here I am

born in the wrong time, age,

maybe before it was okay

to overlook those who suffer

through

neverending life battles

maybe through you I will find me

though

you are not here with me

whoever you may be



here I am

watching the rain fall and my life fall

with it

happiness, I think I just found it

in the middle of

everything

in the middle of the chaos

sailing across the ocean

in my mind

waking up in New Orleans, the big easy city

'you need to let the music set you free'

my jaz cat

says to me

no one would ever guess I am a poet within

but I am

letting the poetry flow

showing me a good time

within myself



here I am

here I am

no one misjudging me

as the tears fall

flowing creek, color of grey sky

upon me

bring on the jazz

I am ready

I am ready

still holding secrets you dont know about

holding my friends tight

           myself tight

I am my only friend

because I can never love that vampire within you

whoever you are

because I am forever alone...





               I am here
