Here you can find a variety of poems that I wrote myself. I hope my poetry inspires you to write your own!
The world slows to a stop
Everything’s in slow motion
My stomach sinks
My heart is in my feet
My head spins
My mouth opens
My blood races
The person I’m guarding
Has the ball
The person I’m guarding
Is taking the shot
And with a sound
That shatters my soul
I hear a single
Swish
Shooting into the sky
Like a beacon of hope
Shining in the light
Leaves rustling
Branches swaying
Roots growing
Growing
Growing
Growing
The forest softly sings
Its never ending lullaby
Crashing against the golden field
The sound of an army
Marching
Rolling in
Creeping up
Silent but deadly
Soft, gentle
Vicious, torturous
Reaching up to meet my toes
But we never touch
Seeping,Slipping,

Down my
RED
face
Breathing
Hoarse and
heavy
Feet aching
Mind racing
Thinking,
“get the ball.”
“gET the baLL.”
“GET the BALL.”
Never ending,
Never resting,
Never
not
fighting
For the
ball.
Broken hearted
Eyes watering
She smiles
Covering up
Putting on a mask
But deep inside
She hopes that someone
Anyone
Asks about her tears
But no one ever does
Up on a cloud
In an alternate universe
Locked in a fantasy
Reality is impossible
Reality is inevitable
Dreaming of something
That will never be
This hollow house
Is filled with noises
Left and right
My ears tingle
Creaks from the stairs
Moans from the washer
The wind and rain
Whipping at the windows
The tree branches
Scratching at the front door
The voices on the television
Colorful and excited
The songs streaming from my phone
And bouncing around my head
The bed gives a little “thoomph!”
As I shift from my side to my back
This house is full of noises
If we could only listen close
To what appears to be
Utter silence
She bites at my nose
She courses through my veins
She cradles my ears
She fills my ears
She nips at my toes
She swirls around
She closes in on my throat
She dances in the shadows
She pounces on me
She stops my heart
She is the cold
And she is bitter
Her face is rounded
The color of silky caramel
Her eyes widen, as does her smile
She lights up the room with one grin
Even in this dark car
Her eyes shimmer
Ever so slightly
And her lips quiver
Because she can’t help but smile
It is simply her nature
The girl with the infinite smile
No one will ever know
What is breaking her
The leaves that once were golden
Now fall to the frosty ground
The wind that once was soft
Now rages like a hound
The air that once was wet
Will soon smell like snow
Winter’s almost here
It’s time for fall to go
