A combined effort...A Poem by Moonlight
When the world starts over
And all the humans have been reborn, when will the time come for me to stand my ground? Because all my life, I’ve been a coward And no one dared stand before me They were too afraid… of my cowardice Too fearful that I may break in front of them Like the brandy bottle that shatters when rage mixes with frustration In human hearts They think, ‘her, what nonsense, she’s nothing but a fake, a phony.’ But then They think ‘She hasn’t done us no harm, who are we to judge her so fast?’ Set anew The time It has set us anew Maybe it is true That the times have set us anew But the new spring May not necessarily bring the blossoms I wanted... I may have been a coward all my life But now I wish to stand and fight For as much is left of my life But all I see Is the pity and sympathy their eyes speak of They think I am weak With brittle bones and an aching heart... They can't listen to my screams Demanding to be heard To be acknowledged for the power I hold To be treated normally And not like a broken toy Needing to be fixed... Not treated like a fragile feather But like the feather that contributes to the strong wings Strong wings that compel one to fly, And soar through the skies Higher than ever expected.... © 2016 Moonlight |
