Aware

It must be a wednesday
or a friday
or any day at all
for I am painfully aware of the world
that consumes me
But the aware
are few and far between
As for the rest
they may be aware of the day of the week
but not much more

Altre opere di Nicholas Ryan Sampson...
Mountain

If I was once the tallest mountain your love was the wind that eroded me to nothing
Healing

I don’t remember any anesthesia after talking with you but I woke up stitched back

Paper Heart

My heart was paper
 now folded six times over
 to make it harder
 to tear
 I only hope that

My Oxygen

Under the weight of life I forget how to breathe and I feel suffocated I hesitantly make peace with the world
Hello

There seems to be a drought in my… but who knows if it is the cause or the result of the war raging within me
Human/Nature

If nature were so flattered by poems written with itself in mind as people are we would be moving mountains
Admire #1

I see poems that need to be written scrawled in the shape of your smile and the lines of your face

Nature

There is poetry in nature better left to be spoken wordlessly by the breeze

Friend

There is something to be said of a true friend One who will pull the knife from your back One who will stitch the wounds
Writers Block

Everyday I visit the only writers block I know to hone my words and wit and help them cut deeper into the skin
Rebirth

I see no joyous rebirth in spring for autumn will bring another death I see no joyous rebirth
Dependent

I’ve always been at the very least a little caught up on everything about you This idea of you
Icarus

You were the wind beneath my wings but I was Icarus so all I did
 1
Mightier

The pen must be
 mightier than the sword
 For there is nothing that
 will spill your guts faster
 than a bit of ink that says

Blind

Everyone sees god in a different light but I was born without eyes
