Poem: "Soul Full of Lightning"

You wanna be fun but stoic, but that's just so dissonant.

You're a soul full of lightning

with a heart full of sparks

a body warm as sunlight

a mind more vast than stars

When you make others laugh I can tell

this is the only form of music you know

you yearn to strum the strings of someone

that will stay longer than tomorrow

I can see through your mischief

trying to disguise your innocence

you wanna be fun but stoic

but that's just so dissonant

I hope the next someone you meet

loves just how much you love to love

and feels the same anticipation you do

when you have someone to come home to

You could be obsessed but still endearing

and despite your pain, you're still persevering.

You'll make more mistakes, maybe undo your will

but a love like yours has dreams to fulfill.

inspirational
