Poems from lauren.santoro
Amongst a crowd of people,
I am always the one furthest from reaching the sky.
In other words, I am short.
Petite.
Vertically challenged....
Dear sailor,
how bright were the stars last night?
Did you watch them dance like embers
in their everlasting fight against the darkness?...
It's so dark in here.
I can't even see the cage that confines me.
I shout for help,
but not even my echo can roam free.
I am trapped.
I am...
I am human.
I dance
when I'm happy,
I cry
when I'm sad.
All I want
is to make sure my choices today
won't rise up and engulf me...
Flawless andPerfectThat is what we all aim to be,To be considered unblemished by society,but I know for a fact thatthat will never be me....
