Faces

faces

Remember me

The kid you put all your energy toward

Without knowing why

Just because

In a moment

You decided today was going to be

My destiny in your hands

~

Funny thing a face

Can be recalled

More quickly when alone

Rather than in a crowd

Seems every instance of pain

Amplifies the surrounding

Elements of discord

~

A year away and you’ll forget

So many faces have crossed

Paths with your angst

A simple pleasure, whilst

That individual cried out-loud

Walking toward you

Reflection of another day

~

Imagine how we might embarrass a bully

With an altogether assortment of faces

  1. I can still recall the faces of the teachers I really liked and the teachers I really didn’t like. The others become kind of a blur. Your poem is very insightful.
