Greatness

(a poem i wrote for a kids drama club i volunteered at)

great things come from nothing
the very mountains that tower above you
were once the ground beneath your feet
the birds that soar, the lions that roar
were once little chicks and kittens

greatness is a river
a journey through learning things new
about the world and people you meet
because the more that you know, the river grows and flows
once a little stream, now thickened, roars

nothing is impossible
every perspective can be seen from a different view
you need to see the path to accomplish your feats
every singer and every winner
were once a child whose written that:

greatness is in me

On the train

the taste of your lips still linger on mine
a tingle can still be felt
tears almost formed in the crease of my eyes
someone worth loving i've finally met

i could feel your soul in your eyes
the warmth and comfort of your skin
i watched your lips as you spoke words that made me laugh
and every time our lips almost touched i grinned

when a bridge crosses a river, when a branch connects two trees
when our lips finally met, i realised how much you really mean to me

Understanding (something beginning with U)

(a poem inspired by Vinland Saga)

Eye for eye they say

Spy on your enemies keep them closer than friends

With every ounce of hatred seek revenge

My resentment fuels violence but

Little do i know

I have no enemies

Something is always lost through conflict i am

Beginning to understand that

With violence the world is blind, and healing this starts with me and

You

you made me clothes

(lyrics that i wrote for band, yet to be finalised into a song)

verse 1
the trousers you bleached need drying
cus ive been walking in the rain
and so do my eyes
cus ive been going through pain
at night sleeps a struggle
and i wake up feeling drained
these jeans need a wash
but i dont wanna change

chorus
you made me clothes
just like you made me so
i dont ever wanna change
but i already know
ive already changed
and once the colour's all faded
i will never be the same

verse 2
the gold on these earrings have faded to iron
i hope it dont start to rust
you were the only person in my life that i could trust
i keep losing them in my sleep
like im losing my memories
in my dreams it feels like you're still there with me

chorus

scared to wash this hoodie too much
cus the fabric paint is peeling
its like a piece of you keeps leaving
you chose these colours
others only see the grey
pink and purple like the sky
on a cold winters day

chorus
