Poems by me (Elliot Meskin)
Gotta Stay Strong
I try to be strong, I try not to show
My helplessness, I cant let anyone know
Have to put on my brave face, cant ever quit
I have a hole in my heart, and nothing will fit
Into it, I fear it will always be there
Always alone, and nobody cares
Why wont I talk, why cant I speak
Im tired of being strong, I just wanna be weak
Im so confused, this is a confusing time
I needed to get my feelings out, and thats why I rhyme
I just wanna be loved, just wanna feel
I cant get through this, please tell me this aint real
When I cry out loud, does anyone know?
When I cry inside, does it ever show?
Why wont I talk, why cant I speak?
Im tired of being strong, I just wanna be weak
I lay silent in the night;
The sound of my own breathing and churing machines is all that stirs.
I do not feel sick;
I feel I am strong.
The disease I carry in my body is, for once, silent;
No wheezing, No coughing,
Silence.
The sound is peaceful.
I am not cured, I know;
For this moment, though,
I will let my mind and body soar to that place and I will be cured.
Do not think of aches and pains;
Feel the real you,
Feel your heart.
I do now;
I feel it strong.
Tomorrow I will begin again.
Begin the coughing, the medicine, the aching;
But for now I am just me.
I am not this disease;
I am me,
And that is the only feeling want right now and forever.
I will put forth a battle,
Tomorrow and forever.
I am young and will stay strong forever in my soul.
It will not take me down;
I am a fighter.
Though I am often sick and feel down, I will get back up and feel my power;
Not the sickness's power,
My power, me,
I am the one, the fighter;
Not my illness, not my body.
It is only my mind which matters, my soul,
The "Real" me.
Right now I am me and I will let my soul shine.
Most of us know how to like
But only a few know how to love
It's because "Love" and "Like" are not the same
Love is to suffer, Like is to enjoy
He who likes pretends to feel
He who loves gives up life
And he who likes pretends to forget
And never cry or feel pain
He who loves can't think
Gives everything without a question
And he who likes pretends to live
And never suffer or worry
"Like" wants to finish fast
"Love" does not know an end
It's because everyone knows how to like
But few know how to Love
"Love" is the sky and our light
"Love" is total fullness
It is the ocean without an end
It is glory and peace
"Like" is words and flowers
It is to look for the dark corner
It is to bite, kill, and kiss
It's a brief wish
He who loves never thinks
And gives his life
And he who likes pretends to forget
And never cry
It's because everyone knows how to like
But only a few know how to love
Which one are you?
When life is hard,
When you think the world has turned against you,
When everything is so overwhelming,
When your carrying a heavy load.
I'll be there to ease life up,
I'll help you realize the world has not turned against you,
I help you carry your heavy load,
I'll help you figure out what's so overwhelming,
I'll be there when you need a shoulder to cry on,
I'll listen to your problems,
I won't criticize instead I'll help you figure out the answers,
I'll always be there for you,
you can count on me.
Hope you liked them
