SURROUNDING
ENGLISH
Surrounding once again takes you into my feelings and thoughts but this time it's about emotions against surroundings. All the people next and around you. Friends, family, enemies but equally strangers. Some poems are written out of the theme and not my personal feelings. Enjoy reading!
NEDERLANDS
Surrounding neemt je mee in deels mijn gevoelens en gedachtes. Deze keer gaat het over emoties tegen over de omgeving. Alle mensen die naast en rond je staan. Vrienden, familie, vijanden maar even goed onbekenden. Sommige gedichten zijn geschreven vanuit het thema en niet vanuit persoonlijke emoties. Veel leesplezier!
1. My First Shine
I was sixteen when I met my first shine.
he was really sweet and pretty
He made me feel special. Like I was one of a kind.
He made me feel loved when I was laying in his arms
He made me feel happy when he gave me that stupid smile
He made me feel safe when I was terrified.
He made me feel sad when he gave me that one text
The shine turned into a shadow
that now left....
2. The Other Half
Some time ago, I met my second half
I always hang out with him
We talk
We Laugh
I love when he tells jokes
He is really clumsy, he falls a lot
Me and my second half are like salt and pepper
I love my second half
he is mine
my best friend
3. Watched
Am I the only one that feels like hundreds of eyes are watching you
On every street you walk
Every path you go on
There are eyes everywhere. Everyone watches you
Friends, family, outsiders, strangers
They look at you, only at you, they stare into the deepest end of your soul. In my head I'm screaming until they leave me alone
I scream, in silence, I scream but nobody can hear me because I'm silent
people's eyes follow me, everywhere, always, being watched
4. Talent Show
Big lights shine on my face. I'm standing in the middle of a stage. A row of people look at me with a disgusted look on their face.
They are the judges
I take the microphone. The entire crowd starts yelling. The judges join the crowd and start breaking me. They take my soul and pour it on the ground.
They jump on it,
They beat it
Nothing more than a black dot is left.
I look up and see the crowd of judging people around me. It's like a talent show.
They judge me
not my act
me
me and only me
5. Like I Peed My Pants
These people make me feel like I peed my pants.
They make me feel
embarrassed
I'm standing there. Feeling alone and left out
Is something wrong with me? No, It's not me
It's them..
They make me feel embarrassed
Like I peed my pants
6. Fuck Off
so those are friends?
They leave you
alone
in the big dark space of the world
First they act like they care
but they don't
then they slowly leave you
they give you less and less attention
and at one moment you're a stranger to them
they don't recognize you
and they never will again
7. 4Lifers
there he is
my 4lifer!
he has dark brown hair
or is it blond?
he has blue eyes
or green ones?
he is wearing a old jacket
or is it a new one?
he is smiling at me
or just looking?
He is coming my way
or not?
Yes he is coming my way
He looks at me with a flirty face
I imagine us marrying
We would wear matching suits
he slowly walks to me
he kisses me
slow but fine.
He is my soulmate
my 4lifer!
'I only have 50 cents.'
'I can give you 30 back sir!'
'Enjoy your visit!'
Enjoy your visit? You serious?
It's a goddamn toilet.....
8. Blood Group
We share the same blood
It runs through my veins
Through their veins
We are connected
Forever
They will always be there
And I can never replace them
Some people are lucky
Some people aren't
It is what it is
You only have one
A family
Your family
Mine
9. Little Ball
The earth is a little globe
It floats in the big darkness of the galaxy
With millions of stars and other planets
The earth is a small globe
8 billion people
All living their own life
8 billion humans
And you only know a handful
Isn't it weird?
Everyone rushed in their own life
Walking or driving past others
Other lives
When we pass a stranger
We pass a entire book
A unknown story that only the
stranger knows
