Antidarkness Poetry.

Random works of poetry by me.

1. • standing on the edge of a precipice. •

moving

slowly

or fast?

how can you tell

when there's

nothing

to compare to?

nothing moving

at the same speed,

time,

or rhythm

as you.

and are you even

moving forward?

or are you

going back?

(2)

just being in your space warms my soul.

(3) •living in a dream world•

I'm not like you,

and you're not like me,

but maybe we can make that work.

(4)

do you want to be completed

or do you want to be left in parts?

because completing yourself

takes more strength than

leaving yourself broken.

and I know for sure

you're strong enough for that task.

(5) • making progress. •

is there ever a time when we get to find out how to help ourselves after everyone else has already been helped?

or is that too much to ask?

(6) • the edge of the world. •

is it naïve to believe

that everything has a way

of turning out to be okay?

(7) • the dreamland awaits your arrival •

a wishing well is no good without wishes.

(8) • 2 am or 2 pm - all the same. •

how do you know

when you're finally

“good enough”

for yourself

or someone else?

how do you convince yourself

that you always have been?

(9)

if there ever

comes a time

when you're

completely,

utterly

lost

on a winding,

neverending

road,

take a moment

to remember how

you got there

in the first place.

you may have to

retrace

a few worn out steps,

but never go all the way

back

to the beginning,

no matter how

painless

the path back looks.

if you have to,

make your own trail

to get off of that road.

anything to keep

your feet marching

forward.

(10)

keep it together

for the ones who need to see someone else be strong.  

(11) • magnets. •

you are all the beauty

I wish I saw in myself.
