Shane V. Hill

I wake from my nightmares
to live through them.
Why wake up when your greatest nightmare is life itself?
Why sleep when you know that there are dreams
...

The caged bird
Lying in a prison
singing and singing
for attention
...

Confusion and chaos surround you like a fly
Any more added and you might just die
The choices you make are so very wrong
but I will be with you, and make you strong
...

In circles
I go
Around and
around
...

“There once was a class
a math class
that was filled to the brim with students
on the first day of the new semester
...

The sun will rise
just as it always does
it will get out of the far eastern sea
and shine its light
...

I want people to remember me
but for what?
What I did...
What I failed to do…
...

...

I am your friend
that tells you lies
The person you dissed
is now before your eyes
...

I am not strong
I am not fast
I am not charming
I am not controlled
...

Can you see what I see?
The writing
Can you tell me what it means?

Day 1
was a nightmare
but it was all just a day dream
slugging around
...

Day 2
was better
than yesterday
a bittersweet day
...

Day 3
was a strange day
I'm changing on the inside
but you treat me as if I have changed
...

Day 4
was amusing
not yet entertaining
but amusing
...

Day 5
was horrific
people say
what you don’t know
...

Day 6
was one to remember
we talked like friends
but we knew
...

The free bird
Soaring through the sky
flying higher and higher
to reach the sky
...
