The Awakening 

By Leigh Dalrymple

It does not seem real
Sometimes it seems fake
I have to pinch myself
I have to wake

Things I know
Things I don't
Always wondering
Always thinking
Seeing is believing
I have to wake

Wake up from what's wrong
What is right?
How to explain
There's day and night
I do not know I wish I did

I am awake now
My mind exists.

I Still Miss You

It has been over five years
But I still think
I wonder how things would be different;
If you were in it
I am use to you not being there
But i miss you all the same.

I think how much you achieved
And I want to do the same
I don't really know
But I feel I am well on my way
You can't change that you are not around
Nobody can.

But still after all this time I miss you.
I think about the little things and how much
You did for others,
I think that after all this time
All I need is pretty simple
But I am making my way
I am doing fine
But I still miss you all the same.

I am Just a Vision

I am just a vision
And nothing more
I am just a figment of your imagination
Like the whispers in the wind.
I am just a vision that is not really seen
Only make believe
I am not really me
I am somebody who isn't.
I am just a vision
Forgotten
I am just a vision and treated as one.
My voice is not heard
My face is not seen.
I am just a vision
When somebody needs something from me.
even then I am nothing at all.
I am just a vision with no future past or soul
just this overwhelming cloud that erupts over people
I am in their minds' control
But they don't know me at all.

The Discovery

The discovery
Is something knew
I don't really know
What do I do?
I discover myself
With others around me
I don't understand

What do I do?

I look around
I want answers
I want to know the truth
I want to know what matters

What is life?
What does it mean?
Am I an individual
Does that make me me?

I will find
I will discover
This is me
I will uncover.
