NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 20

-The Best Medicine-

Laughter is the best medicine
They say.
It makes you feel good
When things are bad.
It pushes away the darkness
And brightens the room.

But is that true?
Is that hope false?
Is there a light at the end
Of this tunneling day?
The laughter makes me think so.

NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 19

-Late-

This poem is late
Because I was so busy
That's why it is short

NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 18

-A Short Little Thing-



This poem will be short-

Not long in it's verse

Because I've been stuck

Thinking how things could be worse.

We're both not around

And I'll admit that I've found

Myself thinking about how much I want you to hold me.

NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 17

-At Peace-

I close my eyes
and I feel so at ease-
so at peace.

If I could,
I'd spend my whole life
dreaming.

It's the same feeling
I get
when I listen to music.

Smooth Jazz or
Classical or
Electrical beats.

Like nothing can touch me-
like I'm in another universe-
and never want to leave.

NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 16

-Today-

I didn't feel like writing
today.
I felt like staying in bed until 4
today.
I read for class in the sun
today.
I missed someone I barely know
today.
I dreamed of the future
today.
I didn't feel like writing
today.

NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 15

-...-

The silence
surrounds me
slides like silk
around my body.
It presses down on me
from all sides
slowly forcing me to surrender.
The silence
envelopes me
making me invisible
granting me the freedom
to walk by unnoticed
by those I hate
as well as by those I love.
The silence
brings me closer to understanding
where I belong
and why I am
where I am.
The silence
.
.
.

NaPoWriMo 2011 Day 14

-Idiot-

Some days,
I feel like an idiot.
It's just the little things-
a joke that no one laughs at,
a text misinterpreted and responded to,
a comment that halts the discussion.
There's no way to go back and change it.
I'm just stuck,
feeling stupid.
