When I was a boy, I would always hear scary things in the news and my mother would say to me, "Always look for the helpers. Everywhere you look you will always find people helping." - Fred Rogers


I traced the frame of the still lives.
I'm so ashamed that I gave up the whys.
So much time wasted, we all live to die.
Standing in the room, they call it suicide.
Hearing me cry out, looking at the pew.
So many gazes like shooting stars to burn.
Dancing to the ballroom with a view.
Pages turning as they glide back to earth.
Knees touch the ground as the tears are finally found.
As you abandon the unknown abyss.
It's okay because beyond lies the blessed sound.
Glass eyes show you nothing but delusions of bliss.
Many look up to you, even time you can defy.
So here we sit at the requiem of the loveliest passerby.

This is about trying to regain faith, might it be after a tragedy, or just an everyday test of faith.

Thank you for taking the time to give me read my poetry. Sorry if if there's a lack of work. I'm going through a slight writer's block, but I'll be back and swingin' soon enough. :D

okay sorry. I came across two of your pieces randomly, and I am now slightly obsessed with your work. I love the imagery and rising feel of this. Great!
