I've kinda always had a thing for writing poetry, free verse, lemme know what ya think:

#1

My dreams are troubled.
No matter how comfortable I am,
There is something always missing, I feel as half a man.
My dreams are troubled.
My sleep is broken into parts sporadically,
Yet I hope that yours is too, thinking similarly of me.
My dreams are troubled.
But I seek to remedy it not,
For when I close my weary eyes, you bless my every thought.

#2
These Illusions I have, they tear and grind,
Constant pessimistic wear upon my mind.
It seems though Murphy will always prevail,
Mutiny aboard my ships, before their's wind in the sails.
I fear the worst, for seemingly no reason at all,
But if I'm already low, then how far can I fall?

#3
The Stars shine bright when the night is clear,
Notice how quickly clouds fade them away?
Even the heavens with their burning sphere,
Darken as the night pushes back the day.
Though covered in clouds, in the deepest recess of the night,
I fear only for the shadows, extinguished by your light.

#4
Ignorance is blissful,
And silence a gift.
So why be verbal,
When the result is a rift?
Should conversation knock,
On situations your not in,
Hold fast your vocal lock!
Least tolerance stretch too thin.


#5
A life that has existed,
Is a terrible thing to lose,
Tears are justified to be shed,
But remember life ultimately comes in twos.

First there is birth,
And we are given a chance,
So we shine for what we’re worth,
Until we reach the end of our advance.

The second coming is darkness unseeing;
But to die is not to fall,
It’s just another state of being.
Better to live and die, than never live at all.
