For The Better

Topic: EmotionalPoetry

Round and round she went,
The old rusty merry-go-round screeching with every turn to the east.
The midnight sky reflecting stars within her gaze
As the world seemed to revolve around only her just this once.

She used to come here often as a child
To free herself of the anguish and pain found behind closed doors
It was here that everything felt right and she was no burden
It was here within the darkness, as she envisioned the ground beneath her wings
That she realized someday things would change and she’d be better than them.

Round and round he went
The old rusty merry-g0-round screeching with every turn to the east.
The shimmer of a falling star reflected within his gaze
As the world seemed to revolve around only him just this once.

He used to come here often as a child
To free himself of the neglect and loneliness found beneath cardboard roofs
It was here that everything felt right and he was needed
It was here within the darkness, as he envisioned his dreams coming true
That he realized someday things would change and he’d be better than them.

Round and round they went,
The old rusty merry-go-round screeching with every push of their feet.
The glimmer of a still burning flame reflecting within their gaze
As the world seemed to revolve around them for just this once.

They used to meet here often when they were children
To free themselves of the torment and suffering found within their parents lives
It was here that everything felt right and they were someone
It was here within the darkness, as they share their newfound lives
That they realize things had changed and so had they; for the better.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
