Spirals
Spiraling down
seems like it should be a nice ride
but
the truth is
when you hit the bottom
it hurts

Bad boy
I am back in school
Falling for that bad boy
The one that makes my heart palpitate into the danger zone
I know it’s wrong but I can’t help myself
The draw is there…the pull
And before I know it I’m sucked in.
And then I marry him and he still
Makes my heart palpitate
but this time it’s in a different direction
And I know I need to get away but I still can’t help myself
Help me get away.

Makes my heart palpitate
but this time it’s in a different direction
And I know I need to get away but I still can’t help myself
Help me get away.

Realize
I’ve been slapped so many times before that I don’t even know when realization hits.

Issues
I’m having issues
Meaningless or maybe it’s meaningful
I can’t decide which
I have feelings for someone and it’s been such a long time for that
And I want to….I have half-assed it actually ….said “ I love you”
And here’s the dilemma. I’ve said those words too soon before in a relationship…..and I’ve also said them too late.
How do you know when to let your feelings out?
I’m having issues.
Am I the only one?

Drowning
I feel like I’m drowning today
I’ve had a similar feeling before but it was always a ditch that I couldn’t crawl out of.
The walls kept sinking with each grasp as I tried to climb up the wall. I eventually escaped with the strength that I had somehow found.
But…..
Now I’m drowning and I’m struggling to breathe as I reach for the surface and can’t find it
Each moment of panic I sink further and the struggling ensues as I await for a savior
Who will it be? You? Or me?

Unbreakable
I surrounded myself by glass
somehow thinking it was
impenetrable.
But it’s glass…
weak and see-thru
and you saw my flaws.
In a short amount of time,
you found the way
to break that glass.
Like before,
I crumbled to the power
you held over me…
Until my knees hit the floor
and I remembered
the pain.
It resonated throughout my body
til my legs strengthened
and made me rise again.
I...

Shattered
Who do you think YOU are
telling me I’m a piece of shit?!?!
You’re no better than me!
Stop staring! I can take you down!
Don’t you know I used to wrestle in high school?
What do you mean I wasn’t any good?
I wrestled my heart out! I gave it my all...100%!
Fuck you!
So what if I didn’t take a state title... doesn’t mean you’re any better than me!
I have GREAT qualities. I make people laugh, I help them when they’re down, I’m honest, polite, respectful....I’m a FUCKING GOOD GUY!

Splash
I watched the water cascade down the mountains peak only to fall to its untimely death
Splash
Splash
Splash
The earth began to quiver and shake and primal screams emerged
as the water fell more quickly
Splash!
Splash!
Splash!
Do I stay? Or do I run?
Or do I let someone see the tears falling from my eyes?
Splash!!
Splash!!!
SPLASH!!!!

Trapped
I see him trapped within his own head
Picking at food but never really eating
Laying down to rest but never really sleeping
Walking around the house but not knowing where to go
I want to tell those shadows that scream at him
To leave him alone and come after me
I want to fight his battles because
that’s what mothers do
That’s the job I signed up for
Let me do it
Picking at food but never really eating
Laying down to rest but never really sleeping
Walking around the house but not knowing where to go
I want to tell those shadows that scream at him
To leave him alone and come after me
I want to fight his battles because
that’s what mothers do
That’s the job I signed up for
Let me do it

A Mom’s Realization
Today I sat silently as my son
My 2nd born
Told the doctor how many times
He had thoughts of suicide.
Tears ran down my cheeks
How did I not know?
I tried to be the best mom I could
But that wasn’t enough?
And then I realized as I listened
That this wasn’t about me
It’s about him...and those are the words
That I need to hear in the silence.
