Going and going So carefree but not today This change feels so real Innocence is lost After tragedy occurs We are not the same Devastation comes Even when least expected But when does it go? Managing what is Today is another day Do I have to give? Some waves can be calm But These Waves cause destruction Emotion bodies What are emotions? You never let yourself feel. A mask to hide fear The mask grew thicker The mask became funnier Bursting at the seams Don’t mask your knowing Give permission to fumble Honor your design In times of trouble You became the foundation Beams too small to hold But what happens when Everything begins to crumble And the fall is hard When the world went dark I could only think of you while writing haikus. The day the world changed And things would never be the same Little did you know Those wounds are power Vulnerability is The only way out No, you are not lost Look for the new ways to pave You have found your way. The body Knows A vessel of knowledge What it holds Is vast Beyond comprehension
