Poems on Life - Blackout Poetry Notes

Exhaustion

I have grown weary
of exhaustion.

Life departed hastily
straight into the
landscape of time.

Vivid memories from school
later gather
in old acquaintances.

I want to succeed
but not with the desperation
I felt for love.

It is as if magic
floods this life.

I feel the weight
smothering me,
the continuous quicksand
after something happens.

Rich pink, pale peach, smokey yellow,
violent orange, pale lavender, bright blue.
Color exploding in this life.

Life is quite uncertain
but I am resolved
to wait
for a brighter sun.

For the first time,
my identity is forming - I feel
this beginning should
unparalyze my words.
I need not be alone.
I am here.

How I long for
courage
and a voice.
