Valhalla

Try as we might,

Try as we may.

Believe as we see,

And do as we dream.

Try to make this world,

Better than a poem,

Strung together with words,

Made by a high schooler.

With words from their own self,

Be with the wind,

Don’t fight it.

And imagine the place that,

Those have fought over,

Over the lands of Valhalla.

The seas,

The currents,

The Breeze,

Our own world is falling,

Help pick it up,

Before it is too late….

Suffocated Hearts

Try not to take this personally,

But all I see,

And all I hear,

Is the sounds of you and your perilous hounds.

Making us all cry,

Out the things that you’d never hear,

Of the things that we’d never be

Continually being suffocating.

Disaster is striking in the hearts that have shattered.

That have screamed out their final goodbyes,

Their sorrows,

Their pain,

Their loneliness,

This is the last time that I shall have heard of you,

But you continually hunt me down to shatter me too,

Me and my heart are having too much we might break,

As we lay to rest down in this downcast street.

Untitled

Understanding the not understood,

And taking in what flight can become,

The raw nature of not knowing and,

Taking in that leap of faith that has nothing left .

The trees sway,

And the breeze takes way.

And the water trickles down the slope beyond the eye can see,

As I stand in the wind at the top of the bluff,

Now understanding the not understood.

Tired

I’m tired.

Oh so tired.

That’s the thing though,

Is that the only thing that I ever say to people,

Is the fact of how tired I am.

And what that means to me,

Isn’t that sort of depressing?

How pathetic am I?

The only thing that I can think of to say is my own feelings.

Not taking into consideration of what others think,

Or feel,

Or say.

It’s like this way I don't have to feel.

Just stay away.

And be afraid.

Of the light of day.

And how it shines in my eyes.

And makes me blinded by the light,

Just letting it take me away,

To better days.

War Bodies

She wears it well,

The tunic that her mother and I gave her on her 15th birthday,

She was so majestic.

So heavenly.

I guess that suits her,

An Angel,

My sweet,

Loving,

Beautiful,

Angel.

My daughter,

Sweet Fereshteh.

Who lies in this pitiful soil,

Her hair which was as black as night,

Her eyes as blue as the daytime sky,

She was a beauty.

And now her skin is pale,

Her eyes have lost their shine.

Her voice no more,

The war has gotten her.

My sweet angel,

My sweet girl,

She is lost to me.

But I will weep no more,

For this beautiful,

Young,

Daughter of mine,

Fereshteh will be with Allah forever more.

Floor

Most junkies cripple over and fall to the floor,

Their domain should be on the floor,

But don't discriminate because,

One day,

We will be laid to rest,

In the floor.

War?

How angry could man get?

I mean between the wars and the armies,

Life of anger will be never ending.

A life of painful regrets,

Guilty memories,

And most of all a hellish life

Of madness.
