Presidents

When I think of president, the word,
I think not of the president
But of presidents.
Presidents of small town clubs,
And of library boards,
And the PTA,
And how I never was one,
And don't and won't care how famously I get recognised,
For whatever they seem to think I can do,
Or whatever strange talent that 10 year old learned,
And how you can be the president of your own mindset,
Without the senate blocking your every move,
So I've learned to take it slow,
And just wait for a claim to fame to strike you. 
Because many a time, it's just better the way it already is.

    love cannot be created or destroyed.

     

    like energy 

    it shape shifts

    following those filled with passion

    and hope

     

    but appearing to leave 

    at the slightest touch of pain

    She wakes in the early morning

    And stares at the wall across from her 

    A sense of fear overtakes her

    Beginning in the pit of her stomach

    And spreading to each limb

    Coating her in feeling

    you are every eyebrow raise

    every smile

    frown 

    and concealed smirk 

    you can't help but show 

    on your canvas of a face

     

    when observing you
