As you lay at peace

Here on after your departure I still visit you in thought.
How hard it is to think of you and not have you speak back.
That's something life with out you  i can't change or rearrange.

Your smile last a while
Your sound hurts to hear.
I want you as close as right here but I know your gone
Gone away
Gone astray

Today's the birthdate of my neice whom we tragically loss October of last year 2023...

How everything's flipped upside down,

Especially within me.

How lives have to adapt with such unexpected hurt...

My life in itself as empty seats remain,

As all my siblings done me dirt.

Ive paid for there own neglect when damm well its them

To blame.

I'm forever in this deep dream...

A stillness holds on,

My past paints a potrait deeply

Unforseen.

Forevermore,

Never...

From time to time my confident self hides away,
Recently that's my reality....
Especially today.
Normally I smile more,
My laughs louder and my personality SHINES brighter....
Now me and myself are at war.
Silence is so loud I'm sinking,
Certain thoughts are hounding my thinking.
Tonight I will start to give me my all,
Knock down that barrier wall....
Allow myself to realise that I am worth plenty more.
Goodbye to the negative strings,
Hello to all the positive directions my life brings.
Here I am,
I am me....
I will...

She's different in every way imaginable.
Her brightest colour is what others would find dark
Black is her hair
Black is her taste
Black is the material that lathers her with comfort
Sometimes black is her thoughts...
She sees things vivid clear
She has dark nights bright mornings and black days
She's unique  
She's herself  
Shes distant but close
She's tricky  
I love her unconditionally  
I love her
