Lullaby

5/3/05

Still don't own it. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THESE POEMS

A/N: Okay, I had the urge to write poetry today so you'll have to bear with me. Happily bearing, I hope. So, I guess that's about it.

P.S. If you are reading 'Misery' (which I don't suggest) and you liked it ( I truly pity you) then you will be disappointed by this bit of news: I write my best only once in a great while, and my wonderful-writing spell just passed. So the next chapter won't be out for a while. Gomen. (gomensorry)

Lost

They say

what I'm doing

is hiding

from the world.

I don't know who

they think

they're kidding.

Everyone hides:

in closets

or dreams

or masks

or puzzles

or even exteriors

so cold

they threaten

to freeze anyone

who tries to help.

Just because

I hide

in places

no one can find

I'm the one

who gets in trouble

I'm the one

who's lost.

I could

be trying to take

over the world

instead of other

people's crushes.

Or smiling

and laughing

so much

no one can find

the real me.

Nope, I do

none of that

I just run

towards the unknown

places

and hunker down

and watch everyone

for signs

they are throwing away

their hidden spots

and standing there

themselves

for the world

to see.

A/N: I have no idea where that came from. But I like it.-

PS (again):has anyone out there in cyberspace read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon? If you haven't, you really should look it up.

Keep your nose clean (as best as you can),
