Poetry for Presentation

These are some of my poems that I have written within the last year. I've decided to use them as part of support for my final presentation...

Overboard

Swirling, whirling, winding
into an open sea,
on the dive down,
undergoing pieces of transparency.

Through every wave of every current,
this ship has sailed so far--
through whales of paintings, and writings, and workings
of an undergraduate star.

Generations of breaking binds,
sailing through their artists' scars,
reaching the dock, we come to find,
it's a part of who we are.

"Just one of those days?"
Secretly asking,
mocking us
behind their
angelic,
scheming,
dragon eyes.

Just one of those days.
They are
stronger,
richer,
faster than us.

Just one of those days.
We must accept
that no one accepts us.

Just one of those days.
It tears at
our souls,
our minds,
our hearts.

Just one of those days.
HE wishes
will,
strength,
courage onto others.

Just one of those days.
Every picture in its frame,
falsified by shattered reality.

Just one of those days.
We fade into nothing,
not a dragon to notice.

Just one of those days.
