Poetry by Autumn
Exams
Anxious I lie, awake, aware, aloof
Millions of little ideas run through my mind
And I’m drowned in confusion.
What if?
But how?
WHY?
Surely I’m not alone.
Until daybreak-
Clandestine conversations escape me
And I’m trapped in a world left untouched by human interaction.
Afraid
Alone
I’m cut off from sound and emotion
Separated by an unseen wall
And I’m suffocating
Because I would hear none of it.
You Were There
I sat there sad
tears rolling down my cheeks.
Engulfed in darkness and I couldn't even speak.
Thinking of the wrongs to me that was done.
Not a glimmer of light could be seen.
It felt like a terrible dream.
Slowly I muster up the courage to call Your name.
Angry, frightened and sick of the shame.
I look up and before I can see, I feel the light.
As it falls upon my cheeks,
the darkness is shattered
all fear leaves me as I look upon the light.
I slowly say: "Why did you leave me?"
And Your word comes to me saying
"I never left you ... I died for You."
I think back, and remember the grace,
The courage that came from seeing Your face.
And I cry, for You were there, You are here,
and You will always be with me.
