Together Victorious

On August 11, 2016August 11, 2016 By HeidiIn Creative Writing, Poetry3 Comments

With one word
one slight touch
the world can change
turn upside down
never be the same
no matter how much
we strive to believe

Hold me in your arms
Tell me that you will never leave
Promise me the road before us
will end with our dreams realized
for to step into the unknown
is a frightening prospect

Fight for me
and I will fight for you
Show me that I matter
that you want me in your life
that you will do whatever it takes
to keep me by your side
keep me safe

Is it too much to ask
that you do for me
what I will do for you?
Life is give and take
right and wrong
and something in between
Together we are strong
we can find our way
in the unknown
if only you believe in us
If you say yes
we can be victorious

Surface

On August 11, 2016 By HeidiIn Free Write, Poetry3 Comments

Do not judge what you cannot see
What lies at the surface
is only the beginning
It’s what lies underneath
that counts
It’s what lies underneath
that is joyful
angry
in pain
Do not judge what you cannot see
unless you want to be judge
so callously

Gone

On August 10, 2016 By HeidiIn Poetry4 Comments

Breathe through the pain
Everything falls away
Water washing away sorrow
Clean
Bare
Only to be found again
Slithering
Consuming
World becomes unsteady
Arms hold on
Only to slip through
Falling into mist
Scattering
Breaking
Until nothing remains
Faithless
Empty
Gone

Bridges Afire

I see you
Fire blazing
Chaos reigning
Burning bright
Unchecked
In your wake
Bridges decimated
No turning back
Alone

I Will Survive

Fluid in movement
Reaching towards the heavens
Searching for something
Elusive
Praying for miracles
Never to be given
Weeping in the darkness
While flames lick my skin
Scorching
Burning away sins unnamed
Chaos threatening to
Overwhelm
Turning away
Spurning love
Unworthy
While secretly yearning
Whispering in dawn awakening
Despite odds overwhelming
No time left
Decision made
I will fight
I will be victorious
I will survive

I Rise

You breath through me
Taking what is not yours.
Twisting it
Turning me into something I am not.
I try to banish you
Return to that which is me.
Yet at every turn you defeat me
Pulling me under
Drowning me in your rage
Your obsession
Your sorrow.
You are lost
So I must be lost with you,
But you will not win.
I will rise.
I will become who I am suppose to be.
I will break free
And you will burn
In the hell you have made.
I will rise
And you will lay at my feet
Broken
Forgotten
Never forgiven
Always alone.
I will rise.

Weirdness to Crazy

On August 9, 2016 By HeidiIn Free Write, Poetry3 Comments

What is one person’s weird

Is another’s crazy

We can play it safe

Live life watching every step

Keeping our feet on the ground

Saving every penny

Prudent, well behaved

Or we can jump off the cliff

Soar through the air

Throwing gold like confetti

Dancing till dawn, scandalously

Pick your poison

Eat your cake

Drink your wine

Weird or crazy

Life is sublime

Come Find Me – Prompt #52

On August 8, 2016 By HeidiIn Free Write, Poetry7 Comments

Lost
Forgotten
Waiting for that someone
the right one
to come find me.
Waiting as the weeds grow
around me
through me
covering me until no one
can see me.
Until all that is left
are the memories of a once glorious
life.
A life filled with joy
sorrow
a little fear
and a lot of love.
Come find me
and together we will fill our memories
with all that is good
and bad
and a little in between.
Come find what is lost
before it is all forgotten
in the misty
hazy
vacuum of
time.

This is prompt #52 from the website Writing Outside the Lines.

Kitten

What’s wrong, Kitten?
I don’t eat,
don’t sleep.
It must tell.
I am gaunt,
my eyes dark with exhaustion.
Don’t you see?

What’s wrong, Kitten?
I’m being suffocated.
no room to move,
to think,
to breathe.
I am standing still,
my mind unable to put together words.
Here me gasping for air?

What’s wrong, Kitten?
I need help
but I don’t know how to ask,
who to ask.
Can you tell me what to do,
where to go?

What’s wrong, Kitten?
Can’t you see!
Help me
before it’s too late!
Before he takes everything,
before I am no more.

This is from a poem I wrote in high school in poetry class. The incident actually happened. I was asked by a teacher as I walked into the classroom, “What’s wrong, Kitten?” I did not tell the teacher these things, I wrote the poem instead. Although not all of it was bad, it was slowly being suffocated. It was quite sometime before I was free. But then again, are we ever?

Consequence Uncaring

On July 19, 2016 By HeidiIn Poetry5 Comments

Do you know what I care about?

Do you even care?

Do you see past your own needs

to those suffering around you,

or are you oblivious to their joys

their sorrows

their pain.

Please tell me

for I will waste no more of my time,

my efforts,

my life,

so you can live yours without guilt

or consequence

for yours actions uncaring.

To See What I See
