unemotional me

I have wasted many a day in lies and emotions
But now I'm imbued with an all new notion
Rr
RA sweet disposition with emotions out of the rout. 
I will scale all peaks that come my way
Tirelessly garnering sweet thoughts and says. 
I have come this far the emotional me
How far will my strength take me, let us see.

The crow caws sweetly

The plaintive cry of the crow
As it loses its mate to a storm
As it flutters by me, it's wings 
Touching me, bringing winds warm. 
I drop it a morsel of food, 
Its feathers are dripping and cold, 
Water it does not need, it would do
With something chewy and cold. 
The crow swooshes in line
To meet all its needs with roti. 
What a day that I felt the
Sweet cawing of a crow.

Space travel in dream

A while ago as I lay asleep
I dreamt of my space travel spree
And aliens many befriending me
And me on the sun with glee;
Could I stop but alas! I awoke
As my mother nudged and me poked, 
I woke up with a startling start
Vowing to make the most of my day, 
Conquer real lands and my thoughts. 
I seek to win today and befriend
Real people this day. Carpe Diem! 

I am not what I imagine myself to be

The Earth rotates surely from West to east
And I am plagued by imaginings unknown to me;
I raise my voice in order to be heard, but alas! 
I cause the sudden flight of a black bird. 
I am not what I imagine myself to be. 
Then, who am I? A princess? A pauper? 
Fear of failure for what I'm not numbs me
And I am not what I imagine myself to be. 
As surely as the sun rises each day
I vow to succeed and have a victorious day, 
To fill it with not blank walls but currency for the soul 
And then I imagine I can creep out of the hole.
