Jenna Barber Poet Rhyme

Look and Find

Don’t stay mad at the setting sun 
We did a lot but the day is done 
Run so fast but get no where 
Worlds and worlds hold my blank stare 
In my heart I try not to care 
But here I am stuck somewhere. 
Glued my pieces but they dare 
Break all over everywhere. 

Shattered glass holds me together 
My heart light as a feather 
But my feelings hold me down 
Heavyweights they touch the ground 
I scream but don’t make a sound 

Sometimes in life I’ll come home 
But then I just want to roam 
In fields of grass with sharpened edges 
My soul flies but is not expressive 

Then I fall into the sea 
I float but the waves pull on me 
What is life supposed to be 
Moving pieces that call my name 
Most of the time I lose this game 
I keep playing all the same 

In a world of hide and seek 
Sometimes when you find the peak 
It will be much farther down 
So you keep searching around 

We want more but when we look 
The places we find we aren’t hooked. 
All of our hope is inside 
When we search we also hide 
Our own fate we don’t abide. 
Life moves with us or against us 
With the movements we must trust 
Or our lives turn into dust. 

So far gone we can’t see them 
Float away a broken jem
