Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
Alarms sound and I snap awake my head fills with ideas ready to make their way into words on a page they flow freely out of their cage oh, the worlds I see distant lands that could never be waiting to make the journey from thoughts to a tale to a story
I'm here when you fall asleep And again when you wake up I'll stay here by your side I'll keep you safe always
I watch you while you sleep Infecting your dreams You can't run away from me I'm always waiting for you
In the grand scheme of our world we're all pieces of a chain linked together with trust to do our part and pass it on again
Lost in a story I don't care I need not but water and air
Your hand in mine brings me comfort Even though I can't feel it
Your smile brightens my day Even though no one else can see it
You're my piece of home that I can take anywhere
You're not really there But you're real enough to me
I thought I felt your hand in mine, but it was only sand, falling through my fingers
You were such a beautiful dream that I woke up in tears I cried harder when I realized it was over, that it wasn't real
Even though I see your face everywhere, and can't get your voice out of my head
You were never real I was only dreaming

(Princess) Happy Christmas everyone It's been a long time coming We're all together at last It's almost a little numbing
(Told from the perspective of Firecracker from Girl in Red)
I knew I could beat her Strong and confident, that's me But there's a big difference Between bravery and stupidity
“Think before you act” Empty words repeated “Control your temper, young lady” I don't care, a fire has to stay heated
(Told from the perspective of Cohort from Girl in Red)
If your friends are like mine Which can be a hassle at times When everyone asks “what do we do?” They're all going to look at you If you're like me, you'll think of something Though at first, I felt like such a dumb thing Now when they say we can't, I say we can Because I've got a plan
