Poems about wonder

Do you ever just wonder
What if

What if I took a chance
What if I just went for it
It could turn out perfectly
But then it may not
I'm scared
Scared to take a chance
Even if its something that
Could make me
Happier than ever
But
If it goes wrong
It could crush me
Break me
Wonder why
Do you care so much
For little old me
But not feel the same
Its all so weird
Isn't it
So confusing
The things you wonder

Do you really like me
Do you really like to hear me talk
Do you really like the way I say I love you

I wonder
If i could make you happy
If i was able to hold happiness
Firmly in my hands.

If you could reach for it
Like a mother reaching
For a newborn child
Like an addict reaching
For another drink.

I wonder
If that would make me happier
Aswell.

By Arcassin Burnham


You say,
The waterfall turns bright green when enlightened
By a single tear that whisp away in the ambience of what
The future could bring, but don't go chasing it,
You say,
When you walk you feel the spirits crumble beneath your feet
And dissolve into dust, you were never good with trust,
Plus you're antisocial, I am too so thats a plus,
As well as, your fascination with roots,
To ground they lie, plants never tell the truth, doing good
For peoples stomachs and tummys laying down cognition,
In this position, cris cross, Apple sauce,
The taste is so familiar just be glad it's not exhaust,
Winds blow clean Through these trees,
Are you gonna say anything else? Or have said enough?

If you're my means to an end
Or if you're the end my love
Rushes to
Clouds could number
More than nine around you
But you can also
Just be breathing
And have your headphones on

It's not like it matters anyway
Everyone ends up
Alone
In the end

How does someone enter your mind so fast?
Consume your thoughts so easily?
Why is it, that after only a few days,
All I can think of is you?

Empty and cold
Numb I feel.
Life's a backwards
Highlight reel.
Highlight the real
Moments in time.
When time to time
Love shows itself.
An intangible wealth
Found by the blind.

Blindly,
Acting, hoping, searching.
Acting without thought
Hoping ignorance is bliss
Searching for the
Knowledge.

The power to change your fate.
But if ignorance is bliss,
Then knowledge is power.

It creates a paradox in which
Intelligence and happiness cannot coexist.

We're doomed from the start
And the end games unclear.

Makes me wonder,
Why I'm even here.


-David Abreu

Looking at the people around me
Are they really so happy
Joyful
At peace
Do they not have worries
Discontentment
Disarray
Uneasiness
Cold sweats
Hard hearts
Disgusting habits
Habitual consistencies
Cheating minds
Adulterated souls

Or is it only me?
