Daniel Merriam (American ,b. 1963)
Meeting of the minds
Lost in a world of emotions
Covid on my mind
Not a worry for the blind.
It’s not the strain of my eyes
from watching the tv
Or holding my phone all day
It’s the battle going on in my brain .
A pain I feel through shut eyes
The light don’t bother me no more
Used to the dark and the man made lights
With a flip of the switch .
It Seems day and night no longer disgunish
The hurt no longer exists
But neither does my happiness .
Lost in my own mind
But just a empty space .
Dying to breathe in the fresh air
To revitalise my brain .
Lost words that make no sense
Emotions I can’t figure out .
The world has gone crazy
And my brain is on the fall out .
How can my brain survive this pandemic with nothing to do , no air to breathe , no sun to see,
Just me .

A woman I see ,
More powerful then me ,
Because she holds the key
To the happiness in me ,
She can blow me a Gale,
Or create me a storm ,
She is my dearest ,
Who protects me in the wildest storm,
When I’m mad, she makes the world frown,
Oh believe me she can tip up even your crown ,
When I’m happy she sends me a sky full of clowns,
In the prettiest colours,
Who sing me a beautiful song
To make me feel proud,
When I’m cold ,
She holds me ever so close
warms me up with her gentle rays ,
When I’m hot , she don’t stop,
When I’m mad,
She blows the angles my way,
To whisper
It’ll be better another day.
@trueemotions91
A beauty only I can see
Because I hold the key
To my own twisted art
That’s locked inside of me
It’s not my eyes who make me unique
Or the fact I have 2 ears and a nose
It’s the fact I can control
My life long goals
ain’t no one stopping that
You can put a end to my legs
Or maybe even my sense
But my mind won’t let you
Mess up that
It’s not visible to see
For a reason
It tells me daily
Scary .

Man made shit
Tissue to wipe my arse
Man I’d rather some grass
Man made shit
Cant shake the stick
From that drip
He’s hanging on to my every word
Yet he claps
When he gets a slap
From the man in the back.
Man made shit
What a laugh
Stood over their looking like a arse
Man made shit
Just a fart
When everyone laughs
Man made shit
Full of art
But you can’t do the crafts
Man made shit
Do I have to finish it .
@trueemotions91
If don’t make sense to you - take away the words man made shit , 🤪 x
As gentle as a butterfly
But yet it lies
Like a spy
With a fly
Upon my wall ,
Glorious colours to distract the eye,
From what is hidden beneath its wall ,
I dare knock as I’m scared I will fall,
As something as pretty as that,
Will clearly make me a fool,
I don’t hold the jewels ,
To unleash her soul
I would make her into a grizzly ghoul
She touches upon my senses
Makes my insides, go dense
But god forgive me
She is to damn cold
When I try to keep a hold
Of her love.
@trueemotions91
Listen to the roar
Listen to the core
I won’t kneel again
Nor will my brain repeat again.
When life is passing
Remember to keep smiling .
I look at people every day
Walking past glaring
Eyes all blurring
From a telephone .
Cant be arsed to say hello
To a real huma soul.
not a leg ache
It’s a hand ache
A demolition to the human brain
We ain’t wired for the crown
Or silver tin foil .
We are made from earth
A thousand fucked up cells .
Your ground
When electric is running around
Straight to your brain
Don’t you realise.
You look like a clown
With a upside down
Smile
Not knowing
When your next swipe
Will be more mesmerising
To them demonised eyes
Blacked out from
That devil In a disguise.
@trueemotions91
A woman ,
Is her name
A mother to all,
From the ground she was born
She always stood tall ,
She braces the craziest storm
Because that’s her home,
She carries life to the full
So we can be reborn ,
She gives her body to another
With out a thought for the other ,
She knows power, love & hate
But yet you won’t see her shake ,
She has to be powerful
To raise her next generation ,
To Make sure there matter
In a world with a lot of chatter ,
She has the power to give and take
But she always chooses life
Over any other path
That may call her ,
Because that’s the gate
To her most beautiful
Creations in life,
Always In sight , but guarded
By love , because that’s what mothers do
On this crazy path called life .
