Coffee and Water

My mind starts to stray

Nothing can hold my attention

The Coffee tastes bitter but reassuring

It is black like my mind

I look clear and pure as water

Looks can be deceiving

Because my mind is an abyss

How do I become clean?

As I grow things are supposed to become clear

Yet they become more cloudy every day

With every new experience



His eyes are a beautiful crystal blue

I feel so special with him

Yet he, too, is cloudy

How can we ever be pure?

It scares me

I pray for help

And I wait

Yet nothing comes



Hy heart is pure water

My mind is bitter coffee

How can I love both and become pure?

Only time will tell

Have Faith

I wrote this when I was in 8th grade. Now I can't believe that it was me.
