#364 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

She ran like the wind when no one was chasin’
Not a care in the world when things were easy.
And she jokes with her friends at the end of the day,
They’re gone now—in her heart they stay.

She says when she grows up she’ll still laugh and smile
But she’s changed—she’s not the same.
And the friends in her life, they come and they go,
She can’t help herself, they need her, she knows.

At the end of her life she’ll sit down and say
It was fun, I was happy,
I did it my way.

It was just a game,
That’s what everyone kept telling me
But where were their voices
When the game turned deadly?
And my life was on the line.
Now no one has words
Only empty explanations
They try and try to be more caring
About a choice, a move, a crime.

It wasn’t a game.
There were definitely rules.
I broke every one—
Faced with consequences in the mirror.
My choice, my move, my crime.
I tried to be more caring
Talk myself through fake accusations,
Your life on the line
The game has just begun
But I’m walking away.

We looked to the sky for their sign
They said keep watch, help was coming
Two decades gone and not a word or signal
Hope dashed away on the tale end of stars

Every night a comet flies by
We are planets away left alone and abandoned
Waiting for hope to eventually come
Have they forgotten us like the setting of the sun

On a mission to find life
Instead we rather end life
None of us wanted this life
Where is our promised new life?

In the dust of a forgotten planet
Look beyond the stars to find us.
