Peace! Poem, by Aa Harvey, at My poetic side

Peace!

My head is a vase, thirsting for water.

Pour knowledge into my mind for thoughts are forever sought after,

And if all I have to offer,

Is not good enough to impress Heaven’s daughter,

Then raise my soul with every word

And allow me to shout from the rafters,

That I am here to learn!

The every thought that has ever been sought,

And once and for all I have learned all that which can be taught.

I will continue to search for a seer to see more.

A direction forth which leads me through only future doors,

Because all that has passed behind me is no more.

Only forward thinking, chalk written on boards.

No time for a break;

Determination compels me to learn from my mistakes.

There is no time to sit and wait for a changing of the seasons,

For my future is out there,

So I must be out there to find my reason.

I want more and more and why being just ok will never be enough.

I have to improve with each and every book.

I need to be better; better than ever.

Better than average; forward forever.

No backwards step, no time left to rest,

Upon my laurels; remove my flower head.

There is no space left inside my head,

For dreams of romance, that time is dead.

At this moment in time love is a waste of lies,

And worrying about tears that will never dry,

Just leaves me with a hole I cannot close.

Go to Hell, I suppose.

Quit asking; cry a river for me.

You are the star of the century, going cheap.

Watch as I leave you standing there confused.

How could he know the things we do?

I am done waiting on you, I wait no longer;

You are weak, I am stronger.

See you later with a lack of foresight.

No ambitious dreams haunt your nights.

I cannot allow myself to be trapped,

By your meaningless selfish schemes.

I need a way to escape.

I need to follow my dreams.

All the negative words you say are wasted.

I hope the rain destroys all you hold sacred.

Tomorrow beckons; I will learn another lesson;

So treat me badly baby, ‘cause you ain’t got me guessing.
