A poem by

Amanda Wells

In the morning

I do cry

Neither artist or staple mind

Separated, I am wondering

From my people, I am fumbling

Stuck halfway between

Two separate worlds

Now I'm permitted entrance neither

I thought two doors would be twice as many

But two doors has become neither of any

Cast away, homeland deserter

But in the new land, just a foreigner

And my people out across the world

Long for their hearts

My hands outstretched

I've never felt so misunderstood

I want to be

Up in the clouds

Never realized

How much I hate the ground

Average day to day 

Makes my heart drown

Not drown, no

Go numb, rather

That my heart leaps

At the the thought of alternative

But there beside me..

It does remind me..

That earth is where I am.

This is a first go with no editing so it might be a little rough. Just some thoughts lately on how our greatest dreams and desires often are just out of our comfort zone. A place in life I believe to be good and a spot we should embrace.

Fear I embrace

You've always been a faithful friend

Where ever I find you

I find my brightest path again.

To live on the edge of it

Smell the thunderhead rolling in

Face it on 

A deep breath

The brightest sun lies just beyond

Just beyond the dark that scares you

Just beyond the deafening crashes 

Just beyond the disorienting flashes 

The wind the pushes at your chest

If you'll embrace it as a hug 

Let the energy fill you up 

It will become your own 

Feel it all

And take it in

And create something new in you again

Let it in and fill you up

Look at yourself and dare to know

Speak the truth

And then do hear it

Fear is friend

So never fear him
