When I Wake Up

Tomorrow, I hope
the world will wake me up
that my eyes will fill with wonder
and never be covered up

Tomorrow, I hope
the burden won't be too much
that I can hold the weight of the world
and not be swallowed up

Tomorrow, I hope
the world won't have blown up
that my heart can claim the earth
and have the strength to clean it up.

  • Growing Up

    In some crevice of my mind
    I know that spring has ended.

    I must leave behind my forest green
    and bury the laughter and dreams
    just beyond the trees.

    The snow is calling to my bones
    sapping away the life of flowers
  • Who Are You?

    I don't know.
    Shadows under my eyes 
    try to answer the question.
    They're blue and sinking deeper, fast.

    I am the girl who sings
    who writes poetry
    who stands on a stage
  • The Poets Are Mad

    All the poets are crazy,
    dreamers with so much and so little to say,
    armed only with words to make everything
    in the world right again.

    They say, it is up to the artists
    it is up to the youth
