"Feel"
3/31/04
Adam Sherman
Day is done,
Cold Solice come.
Take one more breath,
Dare not fear death.
Life's retreats,
And long deceits.
Hope forever lost,
What was the cost?
What could one say,
To change the day,
To make life better,
Requiring no letter?
So what am I?
Looking at the sky.
Wondering and screaming,
While stars are gleaming.
The fire inside gone,
From one dusk to one dawn.
The lonliness consume,
My feelings I presume.
Where will I end up?
Empty my life's cup.
To end it here,
To end the fear.
When did this start?
Mark the losing heart.
Believe tomorrow well,
Please end this spell.
Swelling up inside,
Break all my pride.
Feeling the emptiness,
Please end this spell.
Peace Is earch for,
A tale of lore.
Choosing life of trust,
Learn that I must.
Hoping to forget,
Time to stop regret.
Wishing for the morrow,
Ending all the sorrow.
Feel not for me,
No need to see.
Truth be told,
Feelings I hold.
End this now.
I must learn how.
Leave me anger,
Release the danger.
"A New Beginning"
4/1/04
Adam Sherman
A heart's pulse race,
An unfamiliar face.
Life's unexpected path.
What's the aftermath?
Discovering a new norm,
Hopeful better form.
Wondering the road.
To be prince or toad?
What to display?
The side to portray.
Better to lie?
Better to cry?
Which to choose?
To win or lose.
Truthful to one person.
Deception worsen.
Thus not wait,
For time too late.
To decide,
Spoken pride.
When its done,
Actions prove none.
The choices one made.
Show the fade.
"Finally"
6/10/04
Adam Sherman
What has happened to the silence?
Where has the feeling gone?
Should I show some resistance?
This is a very unfamiliar dawn.
Do I let her in to all the truth?
Do I hide behind my fears?
Is this all a part of youth?
Or do I show my fearful years?
What has this girl done to me?
What is this strange familiar tone?
Could it be my heart can now see,
Perhaps there will be no more being a lone?
Will this feeling last?
Will it fade away?
Can I break this cast?
Can my heart return from stray?
Wishful thinking and hope,
Is all that I ask for,
A little compassion to help cope,
Burry me into the core.
How long will this sustain?
Is this something that's really true?
Or is this full of disdain?
God all I ask for is a clue.
Are you making me wait for an answer?
Is this some sort of game?
The questions killing me like cancer,
Please let this be the tame.
For too long I've waited,
Tried to hide from myself,
Finally facing feelings gated,
Pulling my heart off the shelf.
I've laid my cards on the table,
The time to try again,
Will the heart beat stable?
Or will hurt again from fallin'?
I know deep inside the time is right,
I just have to show that to her.
I have to stop my long fight,
And accept the memories for what they were.
Now a new chapter has begun,
God is it starting off great.
I finally feel no need to run,
Finally nothing to hate.
Wherever this may go,
Whatever the future may be,
I know that I can finally show,
The real me.
