Poem Title:
Poem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I twist and turn rising higher. I’m forced into destruction and anger. I want to dance with the wind. But my flames are pushed this way and that. Oranges and yellows aren’t used for warmth. I’m made into a weapon, for killing and hurting. My violence is fueled by their cruel words. They tell me i’m ugly and disgusting. I believe them, as I rise. Higher, Hotter. I forget about the passion and love. I forget about all the times I was helpful. I forget a time when I wasn’t mean and cruel. I forget that one time, I was cool. Red, used for hate and anger. No one remembers when it was once power. I’m defined by my heat. Nothing will change. Maybe one day. I'll become more than my flames. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I flow freely Spinning, twirling Always moving, never stopping Glancing into normal lives Laughing as I pity their stability Switching directions as I please Slowing for a moment, appreciating scenery Babies laughing, parents fussing Children running, teens gossiping My freedom seems more and more oppressive I grasp for something to hold on to But I fly by, my screams getting swallowed by silence Howling louder and louder But people run and hide from me I give them breath and give them life But they run and hide when I get mad I whip up branches and cars and homes If I am forever moving Why should anyone not be alone I constantly switch Left, right Colors blur into gray No one wanted me to stay I’m moving again New place New pain Never the same Forever free Forever in chains ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I’m the creator Trees, grass, water, lakes I am beauty and grace I am peaceful, happy, content Rivers streaming Birds singing Animals prancing Crashing, ripping, tearing I scream and shake As I get ripped open by curious fingers Pulling me, pushing me My animals run and cower My trees twist away My tigers clog up I slowly get crushed The weight of their sins too much They don’t see the future They don’t see the beauty In years and years i’ll be gray and old Then they’ll be sorry They’ll be sorry I try to get back up Build the world anew I raise my waves higher than life I shoot mountains up from nothing I rumble and cause buildings to fall But again and again They slam more Concrete and metal Full of lies and deceit Leaving me defeated Lying in dust and bones The creator of what Destruction Defeat Deceit Nothing left of me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Clear Crystal clear Sparkling, shining Home to billions Sheltering them all Watering plants and humans alike Waving hi to all that stop by They smile and nod, jumping in Not knowing what they just did While I protect and uphold I just want to show What I am really made of Not fluids and small animals Not helpless plants and shells I can fight back I can stand up Crashing down Foaming at the mouth I slam seaweed and sand Onto their heads Into their mouths Rushing through their unstable towns Fill their throats With what they once drank down One slam of my Small Helpless Powerful Giant Wave ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intertwined in everything and nothing. Apart forever and never apart. Always reaching, never meeting. Intertwined in nothing and everything. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Working apart but working together Fire breaking through chains Air grasping for no more change Earth breaking everyday Water rising above its limits All in sync with one another The world depends on them together Fire breaks but builds back up Air never stops but switches things up Earth hurts but heals as well Water is peaceful and strong as hell Working apart but working together
