Feeling Optimistic

April showers bring May flowers
All those tears and pain
Were needed for beauty
To bloom again.

Having it Out With Cowardice

You made me miss
Out on a world,
A world I can see through
A mirror.
A version of me I cannot be
Because I need you to hold my hand.
To protect you
I judge and later find out I was mistaken.
But not because of myself,
Because they had the opposite

My Walls

The Strangest Thing

I found the strangest thing in my pocket...

I found the strangest thing in my pocket today,
A snow white star from a galaxy far away.
It came with a little note attached,
That read, ‘my love will never be matched,
To whomever finds this package from me to you,
Know that any love you feel will always be true,
And that someone, somewhere loves you very much,
So if you feel lonely just hold this as such,
And sigh a sigh so full of love,
Because that is how this star travelled to you from above.’
I blinked in surprise
As tears filled my eyes.
And I vowed then and there
To show everyone dear to me how much I care.
And just then it hit me
A scheme made so perfectly.
I would whisk them along
And dance with them to the beat of our song!
How funny it is how one strange thing
Could make such a difference with all the happiness it would bring.

White Noise

White noise.
A different perspective than your own
Being spoken.
You hear
But cannot quite comprehend
What they are saying.
A hell different than your own.
Problems
Worse than you could have possibly imagined.
On their own.
A person
Not unlike you,
With similar but not the same dilemmas.
A different experience.
Life.
You smile and nod,
Your mind reeling.
And then it’s over
And they are the same as before.
Yet something is different.
White
Noise
Gone.

Prompt

 I found the strangest thing in my pocket

I found the strangest thing in my pocket today. Now, we all have our definition of strange: an odd shape, an odd color, an odd person place or thing or some combination thereof. In this situation it was none of those. The item in and of itself was benign. Ordinary enough for a pocket. It wasn't the item itself that was strange, but rather the circumstances of the whole thing. See, I don't have a pocket on this pair of pants.
