Danielle Schneider Poems

These feelings are so strange.
The protectiveness- the same,
The urge to keep you safe.
...

Being judged by someone who only sees you,
Getting taunted by those who only know your name.
Yet they are the ones who used to know you, love you.
Why can't the world go back to the way it used to be? !
...

If I laid down to die,
Would you notice?
Would you care?
...

That holy dream- that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding.
Hath cheered me as a lovely beam,
A lonely spirit guiding.
...

When we are together, it's bitter sweet,
For I know that time will come to an end.
Sometimes with you I feel like a cheat.
When we are together, it's bitter sweet.
...

One day the South will recognize its real heroes,
Martin Luther King Jr wrote a letter to white men from jail,
Who would rather that the courts settle racial segregation,
Where white judges make sure that they don't prevail.
...

The leaves are falling fast,
The weather's turning cold..
My head wants to scream this will never last!
My heart yells back I'll always have you to hold.
...

This world of mine; full of shadows.
This dark place I'm in; so many demons.
The all powerful evil; pulls me deeper.
As I'm dragged through hell; there's a light.
...

Today is a day, full of mourning...
Today is a day, full of pain...
Today we are surrounded by crys and tears.
...

I'm always saying the wrong things,
I try to say what I'm feeling.
And I always speak the truth to you,
I love and respect you enough to try not to lie.
...
