Toby Mertz Poem
Black is the night filled with fright.
The darkness hiding things from sight.
A pain inside, such a feeling you cannot hide.
Overwhelmed by emotion, can’t shake the notion.
Eyelids sharp as razor blades imprinted images never fade.
Desperate for some sleep, the wounds run deep.
The days are taunting, as dreams are haunting.
Drudging up the past, how does the pain last, a day, a week, a month, a year, shamelessly cloven in fear.
Waiting for the night that I see the light.

Toby Mertz Poem
Outcast
Life is good, when you are understood.
Lurking in the halls, cunning, deceit, youthful impressionists meet.
Faces of betrayal, hide behind their social vail.
Humanity can be hard to find, when you’re the one left behind.
Words crowd the room, childish wonder looms.
Lost in the translation, overwhelmed with frustration. Atypical identity, amongst the conformed, blinded by anxiety.
Anxious of the unknown, people fear what they cannot comprehend. I thought the lesson mine: learn to bend. Yet, to my dismay, the world should glance another way.
Be free, different, kind and true,
be you.

Toby Mertz Poem
We started out as friends
Im glad we started out that way
Now you are my best friend
I need you more each day
I feel safe when Im with you
I now you will protect me from harm
Im comfy too
When you hold me in your arms
I love the way you look at me
And the way you say my name
I love the way things are
I hope they stay the same
You know everything about me
You see me every day
You've seen both good and bad
Yet you love me anyway
When Im feeling down
You always understand
When I need you most
You are by my side to lend a hand
When I feel I cant be strong
You are their to pull me through
You are my very best friend
My love,my hope,my dreams come through

Toby Mertz Poem
Life is good
For those who are understood.
Humanity is hard to find
When you’re the one left behind.
People can be cruel
Treating you like a fool
Fear blinds their inhibition
Unwilling to listen
No one giving you a chance
Cold shoulder at first glance.
