That look you give Your eyes focused on me A grin on the brink of a smile Cheeks growing with blush A slight head tilt As your smile breaks You feel it and turn to hide your face Then suddenly you pull the hair covering your face Put it behind your ear A brief look […]
Wandering
Lost in questions Lead by rage Fueled by anger Where am I in all of this Poisoning myself with everyone’s views Tasting everyone’s hate It drains me to live fueled by destruction Words clogged in my mind Streets stained with blood Cruses coming from both sides Who’s right, who’s wrong When will we have a […]
Human Looking
Pain makes us choose Mistakes make us doubt Loss makes us remember Too many thoughts Some people are often forgotten Frustration causes stress Forcing us to search for answers, Either in the stars, In the past Or in the Gods We’ve lost We’ve forgot that we are human Not suits, nor uniforms, nor labels We […]
We Pass
Don’t know about this news Figured it would never come You weren’t someone I worried about Took your punches and kept moving Didn’t complain in the moment Only while drinking Life was life, what can you do We be your famous last words Just the way you were with me You genuinely were happy to […]

Searching For My Voices
Words are incoherent Clouded at times Just an array of noises No clear thought Searching in the darkness Afraid of what I might find Words that elude me Yearning to say so much No clue what to say first Thoughts bombarded Curled in a corner too much noise to take Needing help A direction from […]
A Peaceful Burn
Embers burn slow They glow in the night Moon hiding behind the clouds The woods crackles Ash raises and burns out Smoke disappears into the night Wood can be heard drying The fire shoots higher Widely out of control Still contained within it’s walls I can’t stop looking It’s light draws me The sounds engulfs […]
Need Help
A little help Friends help you get by Lovers help endure Family helps get back up How far do we get alone? With help no way of telling Life hurts less With someone to share the story with Day #340 SJD © 2020 Segundo Juan Devora. All Rights Reserved.
Unknown Tears
Two tears for the unknown In passing a story I heard A life long struggle With a tragic end A hero did not make it Their life now an example A beacon to others I cried not because of their story But because I know deep down They would’ve rather lived Day #339 SJD © […]
