I haven't written a poem in a very long time. I don't know where this came from exactly. I was rushing to get the the train. Said the first line in my head and then I couldn't stop. This is what I got:
If you could only see what I see
You could deny your disease
Take a bat and swing
Catch a ride and leave.
If you could only see what I see
You could finally believe
Calm yourself and breathe
Close your eyes and sleep.
If I could only be what you are
I'd take a chance and leap
Get lost to find my feet
Get close to feel the heat.
If I could only be what you are
I'd be a better me
Take a chance and feel
Never stoop and kneel.
If we could only be what we want ourselves to be
We'd open all the doors
Take some but give back more
Won't stop just to keep score.
If we could stop to see what other people see
We'd try be ok
Won't prosper from the pain
Won't take in all the blame.
But we can only be
what we want ourselves to be.
