Scott McQueen Poems

Am I worth saving
Tell me if so
But if I am not
Then just let me go
...

Sometimes when I get sad
I force my tears inside
I do not show emotion
I bottle pain with pride
...

Dance away your sorrow
Laugh away your pain
May tomorrow start a new life
Each day unique in it's own way
...

There'll be a time
When all will hear
The ballads of
All that I fear
...

Not all those with their eyes closed are sleeping
Not all with their mouths shut are dumb
War may be waged the the wealthy
But by the hand of the poor, it is won
...

I lived a thousand lives
When I first saw your face
All of our possibilities
I did pursue and chase
...

My heart is filled with fire
It's shaped just like your name
A dumping ground for love
Burned into ash of shame
...

I've felt the pain of fiery heat
And winters' cold upon my feet
But none of these shatters bliss
Like the abysmal pain of loneliness
...

I envy the monotony
Of every single clock I see
I behold the mystery of the clock
I'm jealous of each tick and tock
...

There's a tumor in me, deep down in bowels
With each passing night, it howls and growls
Twisting and turning, there's a burning inside
The pain that I feel, I can longer hide
...
