To high
why must you set the bar
so high?
I get caught in the rip current
in your eyes,
they drag me far away
to that beautiful place
where my worries don't exist.
I want to meet someone else
who can fill my pale skin with color,
to rid of the gray clouds over my head,
just like you can.
but you've set this bar so high,
how can I give them a chance.

I'm an aspiring poet from the small town of Newbury Park. I'm currently in my graduating year of high school and was first inspired to write by the movie "Dead Poets Society". My favorite poets are Dylan Thomas and Christopher Poindexter. I have all of my poems documented on Hellopoetry.com and on my Instagram @wise_man_poetry. I mostly write free verse about my experiences and interpretations of my surroundings. I'm greatly inspired by human behavior and nature. I hope to publish a book of my collected poems in the future.
