The snowflake dances within my mind
Relaxing in the summer sun, my thoughts melt away.
The sound of your laughter echoing
Ringing through all the empty spaces you left behind
I am contained in a pane of class
My self image a reflection of those around me
Time marches on at a steady pace
The destination keeps moving closer and closer
– Shaman Romney 2021
In shadows and in-between glances
I see my true self hidden behind an ornate mask
Of expectations and of pressures
Crafted, and then grafted, onto me against my will
A rictus smile hides the blessures
A great pretender which proves itself up to the task
I hold my breath, I wait for chances
To pull back the mask, to let myself finally spill
– SR Romney 2020
I’m filled with anger, hate, jealousy
Boiling up from the deepest places inside of me.
Foolishly, I will try to hide it.
In vain, I will try to take that thought and deride it
I’ll try, but it will take me under
And drown me in a roar of cacophonous thunder.
In its wake, it leaves me a shell
Trapped here to suffer, here in my own personal hell.
Filled up with greed, and pride, and envy
All because others have the joy I wanted for me.
– Shaman Romney 2016
Some say spending all day with a game
Is a colossal waste of time, and is extremely lame.
But when you need to refresh you mind
A better alternative would be very hard to find.
– Shaman Romney 2015
I love the moments I spend with you.
My heart fills with sadness when my time with you is through.
I’m filled with anxiety, but then
My world is happy once more when I see you again.
