Dear friends
Having you around,
Helps me feel less down.
I’m sorry sometimes I isolate,
It’s how I cope with not feeling so great.
Sooner or later I come out of my shell,
No longer on these dark thoughts will I dwell.
Truth is sometimes I don’t want to be here,
This lonely, bleak, rotating sphere.
Changing my meds again one more time,
Inevitable as the cuckoo clock’s chime.
All of the lovely messages you send,
Help this broken heart begin to mend.
Paranoia gets the better of me,
I worry that you all may have...
Helps me feel less down.
I’m sorry sometimes I isolate,
It’s how I cope with not feeling so great.
Sooner or later I come out of my shell,
No longer on these dark thoughts will I dwell.
Truth is sometimes I don’t want to be here,
This lonely, bleak, rotating sphere.
Changing my meds again one more time,
Inevitable as the cuckoo clock’s chime.
All of the lovely messages you send,
Help this broken heart begin to mend.
Paranoia gets the better of me,
I worry that you all may have...

After Frodo destroyed the one ring
Reading in the Shire never felt the same after,
Muted sounds once known as laughter,
Drowned out by memories of old,
The stories that would forever be told.
It’s different to be the main character of the story,
To see the glory instead of all the gory,
Those friends that were lost leading up to Mount Doom,
Those are the memories that forever will loom.
So Frodo forever left the Shire,
Though his story more than enough to inspire,
The next generation of hobbits to believe,
In Middle Earth even the smallest could achieve,
The...

Dreams
Our very first place,
Though there isn’t much space,
All that hard work wasn’t for nought,
Look at this beautiful home we bought.
One may look and see only a home,
I see the memories that might unfold.
Snuggles on the couch as we watch that show,
You know,
That show that makes you glow.
Your very first laugh that turned into a snort,
The way you cried,
Inside you died.
All I could muster was a laugh,
Hug you close,
Thank the Lord you crossed my path.
That magical kiss that ignited the fire, ...

This moment will just be another story someday
Yesterday a friend told me I remind her of Charlie,
There is no other person I’d rather be.
Watching the lights dance on the ceiling,
Unsure of life’s meaning.
I see the world, all the beauty and pain.
Try to remind myself we aren’t just circling the drain.
Til’ the next one comes along,
Another season, another sad song.
How does one survive without someone to hold,
Begin to feel infinite all on their own?
Would Charlie still listen to Asleep on repeat,
If Sam gave her heart, forever his to keep?
...

I just want to remember that I am beautiful
The happy tears
Tears that make me forget all my fears,
Those drops that run lonesome down my cheek,
After hearing the one I love speak.
Words of affirmation that remind,
I am beautiful, strong, delightfully kind.
Cleansing my heart like a warm bubble bath,
Preparing me for whatever lies ahead on this path.
As I serve to help those in need,
To try and comfort this heart that does bleed.
That cries from this dark room for a best friend,
Dreaming for the depression to descend.
A burning feeling of...

Magical seeds
Locked away in a dark room.
A lifetime full of doom and gloom.
Sweat stained sheets covered in tears,
It’s been like this throughout the years.
For this you pray,
Life won’t always be this way.
Deep inside your mind,
Is a thought so wonderful and kind.
A new season is near,
Your story doesn’t end here.
On you the sun will shine once more,
Deep down inside will the depression pour.
Watering seeds that one day will bloom,
Gorgeous flowers,
A better stronger you.
Grown stronger...
A lifetime full of doom and gloom.
Sweat stained sheets covered in tears,
It’s been like this throughout the years.
For this you pray,
Life won’t always be this way.
Deep inside your mind,
Is a thought so wonderful and kind.
A new season is near,
Your story doesn’t end here.
On you the sun will shine once more,
Deep down inside will the depression pour.
Watering seeds that one day will bloom,
Gorgeous flowers,
A better stronger you.
Grown stronger...

Dreams of a happy home
A jigsaw table/nook in our home,
Where one can sit, for a moment,
No longer will their mind roam.
The power to rid your mind of those detrimental thoughts,
Ideas about yourself that leave your stomach in knots.
Mind is free, clear, pristine.
One piece at a time,
Cuckoo clock I purchased to remind me of Grandma never misses a chime.
“Hey son, come and puzzle with me on your own terms?
We can just sit in silence,
Or maybe you will tell me about how girls no longer have germs.
I will be here if you ever want to talk,
All...

A closet full of black shirts
Though I may look good in this black shirt,
I wear it to hide my insecurities, flaws, thoughts that hurt.
Sooner or later they’ll find out it’s a facade,
Realize I’m nothing more than a fraud.
Stretch marks, pimples, jiggles galore,
A constant reminder of the excess skin I once wore.
Finding excuses when I’m invited to the pool,
Worried people would be cruel like those bullies in school.
So I go to the gym to try and get buff,
Hoping that she will think I’m enough.
Even with all of this extra fluff.
I wear it to hide my insecurities, flaws, thoughts that hurt.
Sooner or later they’ll find out it’s a facade,
Realize I’m nothing more than a fraud.
Stretch marks, pimples, jiggles galore,
A constant reminder of the excess skin I once wore.
Finding excuses when I’m invited to the pool,
Worried people would be cruel like those bullies in school.

Hoping that she will think I’m enough.
Even with all of this extra fluff.

Warm and fuzzy
What it is like,
To be in your arms?
Warm and fuzzy?
I miss it.
I miss you.
Never have you held me,
Nor I held you.
But oh how I miss it.
To be in your arms?
Warm and fuzzy?
I miss it.
I miss you.
Never have you held me,
Nor I held you.
But oh how I miss it.

Hold me
One who will hold me when I feel depressed,
Whose heart will ache along with mine,
chest pressed against chest.
Longing for the healing power of touch,
Living without it can feel like a crutch.
To think she will know my mind better than I know myself,
Perhaps even ponder how much I remind her of herself,
Time with you I wish to spend,
A best friend to love until the very end.
Whose heart will ache along with mine,
chest pressed against chest.
Longing for the healing power of touch,
Living without it can feel like a crutch.
To think she will know my mind better than I know myself,
Perhaps even ponder how much I remind her of herself,
Time with you I wish to spend,
A best friend to love until the very end.
