Figures of Speech

Fear

Fear lives in the mind

Disguised in dark draperies

Forever staying within the young

Think

Thoughts streaming through my jumbled mind

There are all sorts. Some as bright as a summer’s dress others dark as dress denim

I think and I think, but it is clear there is no ending result for my thoughts

Dream

Dreaming constantly in the night

Covered in billowy puffs of desire and aspirations

As I dream this dream I hope to never stop

Hope

Hope floats in the air

It wears all of our escaped ambitions and wishes

Hold close and never set free hope

Thirst

The thirst for a taste of freedom burns like fire in a pit

The need for liberty engulfs one like a large parka

As long as thirst is there, prospect for a quench by cool independence will follow

Misunderstood

I try to understand the pain in his heart

I see as he tries to hide it behind baggy jeans and black tees

One day I will remove the barriers and heal the misunderstood pain
