I looked out the window and saw a blue sky
To deal with my shock of knowing you would die
To everyone else it was a bright sunny day
I was crushed, knowing things would never be okay
But I could . . .

The dreams I had to dream
Felt as real to me as a warm sunbeam
I dared not ignore them and given a chance
To shine among the stars in every circumstance
Life is fleeting so is fame
To live . . .

Note: this is for the poetry please single word challenge, and it is fictional
It was amazing how it came to this
A marriage that was once in bliss
An infidelity caught in the act
A lover . . .

Working hard every day
40 hours a week for a hard earned pay
Suddenly you're being told
Your jobs outsourced, told oh so cold.
No compensation at all
It's all handled now down in . . .

Note: this is for the poetry please contest, and this is purely fictional, although, I think we as human beings, have all had gut-wrenching losses before .
This was never in the plan
You were . . .

Wed go out often for a long drive
Talking about things that make us feel alive
With the windows rolled down
The wind in my hair being flown around
He'd talk about history and politics . . .

You blew me away
Listening to what I had to say
I only wanted validation
Being ignored is on vacation
You gave me support, before I never got
I smile at you to show that it means a lot

The better part of me is tucked away in my soul
Not a fool anymore, experience made me wiser
Putting cement behind my heart so its not ripped out whole
My kindness needing to become somewhat of a . . .

Ask me no more reasons why
I lay in the dark and stiffle a cry
I long for something that isn't there
Missing that of which I am aware
There are somethings that cannot be
The truth to that . . .

How I could never put into words
All of the things that feeds the soul
It was easier to swallow the hurts
Than to admit a self, fractured and unwhole
I played by the rules, I played to win . . .

I buried my face in the wind
Hoping that it would cleanse my sin
With the sting of the wind on my face
Told me that I would not have that grace
No matter how far my neck could stretch
I could . . .

Raw unabiding pain
Now my words to you are in vain
My heart only has a huge hole
In many directions my feelings are being pulled
The death of you was a blow to my psyche
Feeling lost I . . .

Turmoil all around me
In every room that I see
Cant find peace where I turn
My heart so hurt it feels like a burn
Stability is what I long for
Something that I never knew before . . .

I breathe so I can read
I feel so I can think
I learn so I can grow
To look forward to tomorrow
I debate so I can choose my fate
I write so I can communicate
I observe . . .

Late at night under the dark sky
To touch the stars Id stretch real high
To see what is out there
To look down from up there
How I longed to be among you
But maybe its better to watch you . . .

Im the one I need to save
Ever since i became a self-slave
I chose to be this way
When I was so young back in the day
I did it for love, of wanting it bad
Now that only makes me feel sad . . .

I was alone feeling upside down
My feelings swaying all the way around
I didn't know just what to do
And then I thought of you
That calmed me somewhat
Smiling during my thoughts
Letting . . .

The toll it takes to get up every day
And one feels like they have nothing to say
Except suffer in silence, thats what you must do
And sometimes not understanding why you feel so blue
Life is . . .

I like to listen to the female rockers
They tend to bring out the fun side of me
It's a free way to go bonkers
For a time, to release the angst in me
I tend to read and think in a highbrow . . .

Laugh with me cry with me
See the world through my eyes
You might have thought you knew me before
My points of view a quirky surprise
I am shy I am reserved
I am fiercely free like a bluebird . . .
