Thoughts for the Heart

Category: Poems (Page 3 of 3)

Rejection

How can someone I do not love make me suffer? Because I love myself less.

How can I work a job I hate? Because I hate myself more.

How can I live in a society that cuts my wings? Because I’m afraid to fly.

Why do I reject myself? Because I’m not myself.

Hero

Throw yourself at me.

Impervious, I’ll remain the same.

My strength is not mine you see,

The source could not be more mundane.

 

I care not for what you say

Better yet, I care not for what I think.

A fool you stay making statues of clay,

Courageously dumb I let my ambitions sink.

 

The only thing I ask of you

Is to erase me from memory.

This world’s too ugly to be true,

Larger than life I refuse a eulogy.
