Poetry in Motion- "All I Need"

It's weird the way I feel now.  I've never felt like this before.  I can't put it into words, it's not one of those things that words can correctly show, nor could a gesture with the hands, its just.......a feeling.  It's like every dream I ever had is slowly being snatched away from me, like....like I'm trapped in some glass case and I'm watching the world pass all around me.  As I lay in my bed, listening to the hum of the ceiling fan, thoughts enter my head, thoughts like, "Who am I?", "What will happen to me?", "Will the loneliness ever go away?", "Why am I still afraid of childhood fears?"  And they repeat themselves night after night, never to be answered, until I fall asleep.  Well, thats all I needed to say, don't tell anyone about this chat, okay.  They don't know this side of me.  They just see the mask I put on for them.  The mask that doesn't have a worry in the world.  My great big smiling mask of lies.  I know I'm sad and I know I'm weak, but.....we can't all be strong.  For once....for once I wish someone would hold MY hand and tell ME everything will be fine.  Thats all I need.....love.....all I need.....

How Would You Imagine?

Imagine not worrying about the price of your clothes and shoes that are used, only to cover up your toes. Imagine a place with no violence, you walk outside and all you hear is silence. Imagine there is no equator, dividing us as people, not having a reason to call someone a "hater." Imagine there is no skin color and all our beauty, is hidden within. Imagine there is no death, just people taking a deep breath. Imagine there is no jealousy, and love and compassion will conquer over envy........Some might say that I'm crazy for dreaming for a better place, but I know one day it will come and I'll be there looking at myself face to face.
