Do you hear the voices too?A Poem by natasha
As I lay in bed
I can hear the voices in my head I can hear the wind sneaking in through the window telling me to go outside & breath I can hear the walls telling me I spend too much time inside My shoes are saying I walk too much back & forth My laptop is saying people keep trying to say hello My light is off & my bed saying I spend too much time crying in the dark So I stand up I go outside I listen to the beautiful call the call of this wonderful world telling me I am loved. I go to the meadow & sit on the ground I was about to pick up a flower but something popped into my mind Why would I tear off the flower, if it will only wilt after? So I lay down with my elbows dug on the ground Looking down at this beautiful daisy admiring the sun As I lay on the ground I can hear the voices in my mind The daisy is looking up at me Telling me that she sees so much potential in me She keeps going on & on telling me what she thinks of me A tear of happiness lands on the ground & as it touched, the ground yells out “I’ll always be here for you when you fall.” I can hear the mountains not so far, yell out loud “& we will move if we’re in your path.” The sun makes my heart feel warm when it tells me it will shine on a rainy day so I can see a rainbow at the end of the day. I lay down with my head looking at the beautiful color changing sky The sun is going down & it tells me it’s goodbye for now. The sky looks so alive & it says the north star will show me the way For a moment, I fade away I wake up to a splendid night I hear the crickets chirping I hear the night is sleeping I hear whispering It’s a full moon tonight & as I was about to go inside to sleep I hear the moon say… “As you sleep, I will make sure nothing happens to you.” & If the next day you’re not having a great day, remember what I say... I too shine in the dark, my love." © 2015 natasha |
