Words hidden;
Locked away.
Break down my door;
hear what I have to say.
The match in your hand;
drop it and step away.
After all this time
you forgot to stay
When the lights go out
you will be finding way.
You can spend your night
waiting for the day.
Remember in the morning
you'll be okay
and you can fly
as high as a blue jay.

bold- I originally had this written alone, but the requirement was much longer.
I really like the poem you wrote, and the techniques you used. It is beautiful, deep, and yet not overwhelming like some poems can be.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great poem, Bailey. It starts off a little depressing, but then it has a happy ending. I like how you didn't have ABAB rhyme scheme, but ABCB, it's unusual. I also like the kind of story you have.
