Cathy Zhang Poems

I think I will not be there
To see a flower be less that fair

A flower whose hungry mouth looks up
To see the shining sun above
...

There are a lot of beverages
But there's one that feels like a kiss
As I drank it
A fire was lit
...

I wandered in a quiet, lovely garden
And stumbled into a patch of roses,
I walked back and said, 'Pardon, '
But took a step forward to be closer,
...

Words. What is it? Who can explain?
The letters forming to describe a person as insane;
To put feelings on paper for all to see;
The shapes that hold creativity's key;
...

Upon a door a person knocked
Because the unusual door was locked
As the words, 'Who's there? ' mocked
The citizen quickly turned and ran
...

A cool sock, a fool sock,
A walking to school sock,
A stuck in the dresser drawer
Handy to be a tool sock.
...

It's that one place
The place where we break the boundaries
Where we speak what we think with no restraints
Where we wander with curiosity in our eyes
...

I was called fat
Ugly
Stupid
Useless
...

Why can’t I escape
Why can’t anyone help
Why can’t they understand me
Why can’t they listen
...

Say not of kindness for he is there,
To help you survive,
To help you care,
To keep you alive.
...
