21

I tried to write a poem,
For turning 21 today,
But the words I wanted to use,
Just kept on slipping away.
I tried to write a verse,
To enlighten someone's soul,
But honestly the truth is,
I'm not even turning that old.
So what knowledge could i give,
What wisdom can I share,
But the only thing I've learned:
Live with less fear, love with less care!

2017

There's a perfect full moon tonight.
It's smooth, round and so very bright.
The sun has watched me closely this year,
And whispered tales into the moon's ear.

There's a perfect full moon tonight.
She's heard how my heart lost to smite.
She showed me how I can still be whole,
Even though I couldn't even find my soul.

There's a perfect full moon tonight.
She's heard of my brain's crippled knight.
He tells tales of lost limbs and ugly scars,
But I've already watched from the stars.

There's a perfect full moon tonight.
She's heard how my idols came to my sight.
With smiles, joy and memories to last,
She served as a mirror into my past.

There's a perfect full moon tonight.
She's heard how my heart found delight.
She says how stars all have each other,
Beyond friendships to sister and brother.

There's a perfect full moon tonight.
She tells me everything will be alright.
Usually I'd question and beg to differ,
But I've grown, and today, I believe her.
