His Mind

His mind is like a river

he's flowin' one way and another.

If you find him there

you're gonna find him here too.

And when he sits and stares

while he gets all these angry glares

I don't see how he does it

just don't see how he does it,

But a trip in his mind

might explain all the times

that he zones out

when they're talking all about

him.

But I don't see how he does it

just don't see how he does it.

All the pressure on him

with the stares and the glares

but he really doesn't care.

I don't think he's even paying attention

to any of the words they're saying.

Just off in lala land

where we sing and dance

and we clap our hands to the beat

of his melody.

Can't you hear his song

it's so soft and small

but I still hear it

yeah I still hear it.

Can't you hear his lonely song

but I think that I might just sing along

don't know the words

yeah cause it's the first time I'm hearing it.

But who cares!

Not him!

But who cares!

Not him!

He taps his fingers to the beat

of his melody.

Yeah

To the beat of his melody.

I'l write the words

he'll sing with me

and we tune with perfect harmony.

Very well captured. Feels like song lyrics with the repeating parts. There are always two sides to someone. That which is seen by people on the periphery and the deeper side, which only those close to get to see. What makes him who he is, which can't be seen in a glimpse.

I like this a lot. There's a lyrical feel to the whole poem, but what really makes this such an amazing piece is the fact the way the emotions flow through as I read it. Your imagery is as usual vivid, and I have a feeling I know what this one is about. Somehow I can't help but relate my past when I read this one. It's a well written piece. Bravo !!

Thanks... It was written about this guy in my class that never talked. But he was a wonderful author. He knew just how to express himself on paper, but never out loud.

[Érenn]

Yeah, I most certainly can relate to him. He's similar to me in some lines definitely ^^

This guy sounds pretty cool.
