CONFUSION -by elizabeth starman
A life full of
terror
each turn filled with more pain
They tell you it's an error,
instead of reasons for the slain.
A mind full of memories,
once happy now filled of hate.
And when your heart cries,
You'll see it's too late.
A soul full of nothingness,
not sure of what to believe.
Could all this she possible confess?
Or is it now her time to leave.
----------
THEN AND NOW
Then a
childhood dream,
Now a dreaded fean.
Then a daring smile,
Now pain all the while.
Then a shiny car of steel,
Now a flashy chair on wheels.
Then a twinkle in his eyes,
Now full of pain as he dies.
Then a life full of hope,
Now a soul left to cope.
Then and Now like why and when,
Now just a glimpse of what was then.
----------
LOOKING DOWN
No more
shadows fill the land
the sun and wind have turned to sand
Heavens glow up above
Stillness of a morning dove
Do not fear
Do not cry
For wherever you are
I stand close by
Although we now may be far apart
It's only in body
Never mind or heart
You look so lost and so astray
But I wouldn't trade this place
For one earth day
You seemed saddened
Though I don't know why
Because here there are
No tears to cry
The problems you face everyday
When you're here
They're taken away
For where I am there are no fears
No months, days, weeks, or years
Where I am there are no lies
Where I am no one ever dies
IF only I could bring you here
To take away your humanly fear
But I know we will meet again someday
And your pain and fear will be washed away

LIFE
Life isn't
easy,
haven't you heard,
what you want you never recieve,
what you work for, you never achieve.
Life isn't fair,
haven't you heard,
you do good in school,
they call you a nerd.
Life isn't easy
so now you've heard,
just follow the rules,
and you won't be blurred,
Life isn't fair,
you've heard this one too,
even following the rules doesn't
always mean you'll get what's good for you.
----------
BE SILENT, BE STILL
Shrouded by
the misty night
Encompassed by surreal light
Locked in time, out of place
Spirits brush your lonely face
In this melancholy hour
Fear, subtle as a flower
Grips you soul and bends your will
In this moment: Be silent, be still
Demons whisper in your ear
Phantom voices to loud to hear
Wind carries silent screams
Muffled by Diablo's fiends
Gentle music fills the air
Symphonies of sound, not really there
Piteous now, the flutes lonely trill
In this moment: Be silent, be still
Time be swift, time be slow
Never at one pace will it go
Mortal minds shall never know
The instability of its flow
Twisting circles, not straight lines
Compose of rushing sands of time
Discrepancy creates a thrill
In this moment: Be silent, be still
In this land of dreams unkempt
Of hopes and fears held at the heart
Emotions that will not depart
Nightmares will not recede
And plant in the mind that perilous seed
The seed that seers and cause ill
In this moment: Be silent, be still
