Two poems from Alex

Here are two untitleds from Alex's notebook:

One heart,
one mind,
is all I'll ever need.
An actor
though I am,
I will never be
nothing but me.
Set out against fate,
my mentality shall never rest.
There is no sleep
for someone
who can't accept death.

~~~~~

Dream of my success.
Make my digressions
    something more.
Help me find worth for all
    that lay beyond life's door.
