A Little Secret (a poem)

A Little Secret

Written November 20th, 2012

To tell the truth,

I think about you

When I’m curled up in bed

And raindrops dance over my head

A vulnerable time to think about hopes and fears;

Playful rainfall can easily become tears.

I shouldn't dream of you in this way

But I have a hunch our destinies are intertwined;

It’s the way you always find

A smile in your pocket to give me

On days I’m so turned around I can’t see

When I have massive mountains to ascend

You give me freedom to fly with the love you lend.

Lately I wonder about you all the time

To be honest, I think you have a hunch too

My Knight in Shining Armor has Purple Hair

Written March 6th, 2011

My knight in shining armor

Walks by me

With a strength in his step

He smiles at me

Charming me

With his come-and-get-me stare

He is dressed in black

Fit to kill

With the insignia of Slipknot

Barred on his chest

Chuck Taylors armor his feet

His secret heart full of flare

He may be quiet

He may be under known

But I can tell

He is humble and brave

My knight in shining armor-

He has purple hair

The Dark Secret He Keeps

No one knows

That he cries softly in his room at night

Muffled in his pillow so his family won’t hear

So they won’t ask questions

They can’t find out

They can’t know

He doesn’t know

What to do himself

What to think

He tells himself it isn’t true

So much he almost believes it

He doesn’t want to know

The boys in class don’t know

How much their words hurt

They’re mean to him intentionally

But they don’t know just how deep

What they say really goes

I’d like to think they’d stop if they knew
