Normality
Will my life ever be normal?
I have been
chasing white picket fences
For more
years than I can remember
Trying to
look for people
That I can
relate to
As each day
marks another failed attempt
At trying to
find happiness and stability
Unpleasant
occurrences plague my dreams
All I've
ever wanted was a loving family
One that
wouldn't leave me broken
For someone
to love me
Without any
conditions
I yearn for
the days
That we can
play in the flowers
And eat ice
cream as we watch the pink sunset
The small
experiences that people take for granted
Are ones
that I only have in my dreams
I hope for a
grin to stain my face instead of tears one day
That I can
find people who will accept me
And live normally
without the burden of someone else's baggage
To stand
outside a wooden cabin
With my own
evergreen garden
Leaning on a
beautiful ashen fence
Instead of
chasing it.
Access To Clean Water
Drip! Drip!
There goes
the water
Filled with
chlorine
And toxins
Lakes are
brown
Not clear
We drink
Poison from
taps
And pay for
it
We have
phones
But not
fresh
Water to
hydrate.
Closer To Me
Your presence is chamomile to my emotions
As I drink
in your blue eyes through mine
A tinge of
guilt resides in my heart
Because I
desire so much of your presence
Your words
are honey to my soul
Dripping
into my heart with each syllable
The mint that
lingers on your breath
Makes my
tonsils quiver as I inhale
We always
end up closer as we talk
An inch away
from actually touching skin
It would be
obscene to ask for that level of intimacy
From a
married man who I want to be closer to.
