POEM STARTER
Out of Reach
Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.
Writings
Blank walls seem to stretch forever,
Finding where I am is my own endeavor.
Water stains on ceiling and floor,
Will I ever find the door?
I am lost, but at what cost?
I look at my hands, they’re faded,
Worried thoughts have invaded.
I glance at a window, no reflection in sight,
Am I heading in the wrong direction tonight?
To myself, I’ll try to teach,
But my mind is just out of reach....
I feel it in my bones
The victory I’ve always wanted
So close I can almost taste it
The glory in which my hard work has given me
The end of the tunnel
The finish line of the race
So close
And yet so far
So close I came to having it all
But like Icarus I flew too close to the sun
I feel my wings burning up
The ground getting closer
The finish line just became the start
Why is it that when we get s...
Good habit to have a good life,
We all wanted to have it.
Always out of reach for me,
My life is pushed by the time.
Don’t know how and why,
Change it hard in a day,
Because my life is a mess.
Looks like I getting better,
But still out of reach,
Return to the previous point;
Reward myself one step at a time,
There is hope,
Get motivated and forwards,
On the way,
Always have a force holds me back.
...
My goals
In life
Are just out of reach
I apply
Apply
Apply
To my own freedom land
But they reject me
Not once
Or twice
Multiple times.
It aches my heart.
I want it so bad
I don’t understand
Why another says no
To me
Giving them the power of striping away my
Dream.
What will my mother say?
Or father?
I am a failure.
Dead flowers grow around me.
The sun,
always blocked by ...
I have a lot of things in life;
a guitar, my friends, a few people who like my music..
but there's one thing that I don't have.
Your heart.
You sit just a few feet away and yet you feel so out of reach.
We're polar opposites, yet broken magnets that repel instead of attract.
Your eyes captivate me with one look, yet when I reach out you seem to disappear.
I'm left wondering if maybe you'd l...
It always seemed just out of reach
The happiness I knew we’d have
Just let us be alone together
Safe and away from all that’s bad
You’d teach me how to survive
And I’d love you up to thrive
It never seemed right nor was it time
It always seemed like we were kicking it down the road
Better to deal with our shit another time
I want to save
You want to be held
I want to grow
You want to know
You ...
Sitting on a roof overlooking hell
We were miserable but atleast we had each-other
And then
You got a shiny new badge and shiny new friends
messed up place behind
Left me behind.
And gosh how my brain was screwed.
I went insane
and im sorry
im sorry
im sorry.
For scratching your face when we were eight.
For kidnapping your friends,
For posioning you.
For leaving when it hurt me too....
In the shadows of dreams, it gleams,
A vision so close, yet a world apart,
A melody that whispers, then departs,
Something elusive, out of reach it seems.
Like stars that dance in the midnight sky,
Or the horizon's edge where oceans meet,
It beckons, a mirage so bittersweet,
A yearning that makes the heart sigh.
It's the fleeting touch of a butterfly's wing,
Or the echo of a long-lost song,
A fe...
