Peace and Drop of Sunlight (Poems)

Here are some more poetry I wrote at work last Saturday.

These two are more personal, and not funny. Like I said with Poetry, I took all the feelings in my heart and poured them into 10 poems and wanted to cry. These are so real and mean a lot to me. I hope you like them.

Peace

Once upon a time

There was a girl

Who wanted to be a princess

Her parents told her 

"Be whatever you want to be"

If you have the will

You can do it

Then the girl went to school

And some boys

And some girls

But mostly boys

Ripped her mind apart

By 11 she didn't believe she would live

By 13 she didn't want to live

By 18 her body was ripping itself apart like her mind

But then the girl was a woman

A broken woman who refused to give up

And because she didn't give up she found peace

Drop of Sunlight

Why is it so bad

When your mind is trapped in black clouds

And each day is like walking through a dark, misty forest

That you need to take a drop of sunlight?

Why are we told it's wrong?

Looked down on for taking it?

When you take it the mist fades

The gray sky clears

The sun rises for the first time in years

And the suddenly there's a path forward

You can breathe

You can move

You can sing

You can dance

And most of all

You can smile

I'll keep taking my drop of sunlight

And ignore the nay-sayers

Because that drop of sunlight

Is the best thing to happen to me
