Campus Rush | Susan N. Aassahde
snow noon cling
tsunami fly
frost balloon graze
I suppose the next thing
You’re going to tell me
Is that it was my fault.
I’m used to this type of
Ridiculousness going
Against reality.
Why can’t it be normal
For once? Why do we
Have to pretend?
Just once, I wish
You would let
The walls down.
sky is gray
air is sharp
my heart is broken
my soul is broken
I am awake
but
I should be asleep
When you hide behind the trees.
Seeing the forgotten plains slowly
remembering the green fields
wanting to forget never to remember.
Never seeing the wood for trees
losing the battles, yet never the wars
making a last stand seeing the trees
standing alone doing what’s right.
Never doubting the strength within
rising high above seeing the trees
for the worth they have realising
the self doubts were just that.
The last fight the last fears
last battle within is over never
ending wars within the battle
has been won but the war
continues to fight another day.
I see him on TV,
In his suit,
He looks so unhappy,
Furrowed brow,
Eyes squinting,
Tight mouth,
A guy whose parents
Made him feel worthless,
Now in a position where
He can hurt all his
Perceived enemies,
Play out all his fantasies
Of showing them
Who’s right,
A sad man doing sad things
For sad reasons.
Love
A dream
Come true
Love
Awakening in me
A passion for living
Love
Bringing us
Closer together
Love
Giving me hope
For bright tomorrows
Love
The only thing
That truly matters
It happens we all die
it comes to you
when you least
expect it will.
I will grace you
forsake you
you will honour
me praise me
for when I’m not
here you will
remember me when
I’m not there
yet you will always
remember me for
I will be part of you
for I am life.
