Limits Need to be ContainedA Poem by GinaWhen I lay my head and look up at the stars I try to find a purpose with it all I forget about every time I complain about the scars Made my mind play games like basketball The only thing I tell myself is that after these years, These pointless tears Are not what they appear You help me and I stop running You told me I was worth something When I told myself I was nothing I just need to stop bluffing and bugging What’s wrong is hella right Alright, I know it’s crazy despite All the midnight texts, and the stuff we write. I’m losing myself The stuff I’ve picked up, fell off the shelf I rebelled now look, I’m overwhelmed My perfect future tense doesn’t apply to common sense I’m dancing… spinning, spinning, getting dizzy Will you catch me before I fall? Something so hard becomes so easy It flows and melts like a waterfall… Stay one more minute I haven’t reached my limit and I need to finish what I may have started Listen, I might be timid but I’m here for you I need you, I’m the one you can turn to, when you need to I see your hair, your eyes and your skin But I see beyond that. I see the real you Deep within, I know I win when I see your grin There isn’t more to say. My reminiscing needs to be contained. By the way, some day We’ll pay the standard cost of living.© 2017 Gina |
