Listening to: 5 for Fighting- 100 Years
Here's my poem, I think it's done. Let me know what your think. IM me if you wanna know what something means!
Andrew's Song
He sits alone with pen in hand
On this solitary day
The colors splash across his face
His words begin to prey
Upon the crinkled paper
It hurts for him to share
In a wrenching, flowing melody
But he doesn’t seem to care
Young, alone, and naive
Just learning how to breathe
Unlocked, completely open
So much he can’t perceive
The lessons seem to hit him
So much for him to learn
This poetry, it heals him
When his wings begin to burn
Emotions flowing from his pen
The music in his mind
His thoughts become a painful song
No words are hard to find
In a constant fluid motion
The words are scribbled down
He doesn’t know if it even makes sense
He feels himself begin to drown
Just him and his piano
No one to ridicule
His heart summons a teardrop
His tears become his fuel
He’s blinded by emotion
No one to interrupt
As the pain is flowing through his veins
And one note is heard abrupt
His fingers move without him
The music they make grows
Into a song like baby’s breath
Around a thorny rose
His song seems never ending
He’s lost all track of time
Consumed whole by the music
Lost into the rhyme
He plays ‘til he feels empty
But there’s still pain in his soul
He strikes the keys with anger
That thorny rose, no longer whole
Extended fingers now in fists
Self anger screams his name
Collapsing into tired arms
His anger now seems tame
With every key that he may strike
A petal hits the ground
His pain slowly unravels
With every tiny sound
His music is his therapy
Its feeds on hurt and pain
When he’s feeling shaken up
It takes away his strain.
There’s no more anger in his heart
Merely heartache and regret
With a song grasped tightly by his soul
Around events he won’t forget
