Poetry by ZeN: Three when Sixteen

These are three poems I wrote about four years ago when I was sixteen

---------------------------------------------------------

MENTAL EMPTINESS

I'm like an empty soda bottle
Has nothing inside
Like a motor less car
That you cannot drive

Self existence less than two decades
Really what do I know
Like a person who cannot sew
Does not know when to go fast or slow

At one point I think I have everything
The next minute I think its all gone
Mentally I am so weak
Although wrongly I believe that I'm strong

CONFUSED

I know it will never happen
Hoping it will change one day
A need for reparations,
On these wounds that I have made

Potential is grand like the ocean
No question about our devotion
Nothing exist that could hold
These grand vast emotions

There is no question about how we feel
The only question is how we deal
With these vast emotions...
That might not be real

DREAMER

I'm a Dreamer. Dreams inside my mind
Is it really a crime
To try to let them shine

Were walking thru the park
I feel glad in my heart
Its just a dream and I'm a Dreamer

It feels to real. I think its true
Happy I feel. But I'm not with you
Its just a dream and I'm a Dreamer

I'm Dreamer.
Creating many thoughts
I want to set them free .
I think there just for me
