Wondering

To my Youth

My mind was wondering
About the people standing there,
Disagree and never win
About the space between us.
Towering over our heads!!

People like-you-like I
Hide behind a wall of pride
Life goes on
with us - within us
... or without us.

SMALL!!!!
Like a crump of bread
Silly people
We run around
Time goes on,
As the hands of time go on
Then it’s far to late.

Will petals find peace of mind
Small things like reasons
are put in a jar

The lights are gone,
the door is locked.
Something inside
Will always be denied.

Wondering
We do what we please
to deceive and collect self respect
for all the neglect we need.
