A Few More Poems For Your Pleasure

Breaking Out

Let me escape,

Let me see

What else is around.

I need to be free,

You’re holding me back,

Keeping me locked up in

The grey matter

Of this life.

Come with me,

Or don’t

I’m off to explore.

You’d make it better,

Different,

But I don’t need

Your permission.

How can you not

Be curious?

There’s so much out there,

So many different people and

Exciting ways of living.

So don’t stay in your bubble,

Tackle your fears

Head on

Do the things that scare you,

You’ll learn more than

You can ever imagine.

Blanket Me

Blanket me,

Wintry and cold,

Brilliant white.

Your perfect stillness,

Quiet, calm, nothing, nowhere.

Within you I am safe,

Protected.

Invisible.

I can lay here, wings at my sides,

Frozen but smiling,

While you hold me tight.

You cover me,

Touching my face, my hands.

I stick out my tongue,

As you fall on me.
