Invisible Man

There’s always one in your world A man you never see Not the kind that gets unfurled In your reality There’s always one, who stands nearby But never fits your gaze Not the one who catches your eye Or sets your heart ablaze There’s always one, who treats you right Without the need to show No grand display, no need for light Just more than you may know There’s always one, you turn away Without a second thought Not the one you choose to stay Or someone that you’ve sought There’s always one, who holds his place While others take the stage A quieter strength, a steadier pace That never fits the page There’s always one, who plays it safe Who doesn’t push too far Who doesn’t live beyond the waif Of whom you think we are There’s always one, you never pick Though he would always stay Not fast, not loud, not chasing quick Just built a different way There’s always one, the same as them The ones you run toward Just without the brighter hem Or edges you’ve adored There’s always one, an invisible ma...

Lockdown

What a time to be alive In a world that once thrived Life is at a standstill And how we react is our own will It has taken away life as we knew it And tried hard to break our spirits It has taught us many lessons About ourselves and our emotions Lockdown has taken a toll On our minds, bodies, and souls Stuck at home and lost in thought About past battles and ones to be fought And our minds are now implanted With freedoms, we took for granted At the same time, it has reminded Of friends who are like-minded It has renewed loyalty and love To help us all rise above It is true we’re far apart From those close to our hearts But we’re not alone in any instance We’re together despite the distance Take solace in the little things Embrace what little joy they bring Because we will be together again Or all this will be in vain Despite the frustration felt within We can’t let this pandemic win So stay healthy and don’t roam Please be safe...

Unrequited

Unrequited love is the worst kind of pain It hurts so much it can drive us all insane Nothing blinds more than one’s own heart Especially when the battle is lost from the start It's almost crippling and it always ends in sorrow You're just a victim of Cupids misguided arrow Falling in love shouldn’t ever be regretted Even when it’s someone you never expected It's like they don't see you for who you are But when you open up its like they don't care The heart wants what it wants and that’s okay Some just aren’t going to feel the same way It's just something that was never meant to be No matter how right it felt, they just can’t see They just don’t feel the same as you feel Even if in your heart it all felt so real You end up on the sidelines with nothing to show And become just another person that they ignore That’s just how life goes; you can’t force its hand Sometimes things just don’t go as planned To those who’ve been there, don’t...
