Something dark

Is there something dark?
Dark, dark, deep down inside me
Something that keeps me
Away from the center ring
A divergent path indeed

(2013)

Poem about how sometimes its just a personal struggle to fit in or to understand your place in a group of friends.

Blue fear

Life’s obligations A daunting sea of turmoil With crest after crest I’ll hide in this briny shell Till the tide forgets my name
Land of mud and ice

Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
