A new light in me
You lifted me up.
I will forever be thankful.
Now I see,
a new light because of you.
I had to lose to win.
Always there but didn’t see,
now I know it was meant to be.
All the hurt I endured.
The puzzles I tried to make fit.
Blind by false truths.
Making excuses for the fools,
made me the biggest fool.
You lifted me up.
I...

No Matter What
I promise I won’t break up with you”
Promise me you will always be in my life. No matter what.
“I promise.”
No matter what,
I will always love you,
you will always be the one I want to marry,
Since we can’t be together
I will try to not break any hearts
I can never love somebody the way I love you
I will try to be happy with someone else
Don’t be sad
This is what you did to me
How am I to love again
Why would I want to
For it to just give up and leave me in repeat.
I’m tired of crying.
No more...

As One
Nothing more, nothing less.
A womans love can caress.
A beautiful soul.
A partner, not love.
She wants real.
Nothing more, nothing less.
A mans love can protect.
A strong soul.
A partner, not love.
He wants real.
Both in need of Truth.
A partner.
Shall both be blessed.
Faith in one another.
Caressed.
Nothing more, Nothing less.

Anxiety Overtake
It’s okay
Just take a deep breath
Let your eyes rest
Control your mindset
It’s okay
Slow your breathing
Don’t over think
Everything’s okay
Your okay
Try to calm down
I’m here just breathe
Just breathe...
Just take a deep breath
Let your eyes rest
Control your mindset
It’s okay
Slow your breathing
Don’t over think
Everything’s okay
Your okay
Try to calm down
I’m here just breathe
Just breathe...

She’ll Give
She’ll be buried underneath,
Underneath everything she asked for help for.
Yet still be right there by your side
Being the friend,
Family member,
Stranger with a big heart.
Ready to help if she can.
Knowing how it feels to not have it.
Giving what she doesn’t have.
Caring,
giving what’s left from inside her weak bones.
Only one from a hundred will give back to her.
From that one,
She’ll give to a hundred more.
Underneath everything she asked for help for.
Yet still be right there by your side

She’ll give to a hundred more.

The Itch
Have so much going on in my head.
Feel it itching to come out.
Trying to put the rhymes in a song.
A story in a poem.
Lines from my pencil
creating something I'm not even sure of,
but feel it there.
Trying to put my finger on it,
finding the point,
but so much clutter I'm finding multiple
beginnings.
Feel all these small pieces will create a
big picture I'm trying to create.
Not sure what hit me,
but whatever it was I feel it.

Traumatic Stresses
You have a colorful soul.
Everyday you think about your career in some way.
Your passions make you shine.
Your fear, hurt, & confusion take over your life.
You fear the good because you can’t have good without some bad.
The bad hurt you before, you don’t want it, you don’t want anything to do with that feeling again.
Someone you loved growing up confused you.
A kid wanting love, fun, & full of life with so much energy.
Got rejected all the time.

Bare
It’s hard.
Hard to be strong.
To be the tough of tough.
After everything.
After two tiny thumps are no longer.
The feeling of being sucked into a black hole.
Trying to mask the curled up being in the dark corner.
Trying to light the match again.
It’s too windy inside the room of your heart, but you try to light the wildfire.
Too moist in the atmosphere anyway, it couldn’t work if I tried.
Laying in a prison hole.
Looking up at absolutely nothing.
You see nothing,
You feel nothing,
You think nothing,
Smell nothing, ...

Better than Me.
She can do better than me.
I’m a bad guy.
I always fuck up.
I love her.
She makes me happy.
I want to do more for her,
I just don’t.
I don’t know why.
She deserves better than me.
I’m a bad guy.
I try,
but I know I’m no good.
I’m loyal to her,
But know I’m not the greatest.
She deserves the best,
I’m not the best.
I don’t want her to go,
But I’m not treating her the way she should be treated.
It’d hurt me if she left,
But I can’t do what she deserves.
I’m not a good guy,
But still...
I’m a bad guy.

I Love You.
What is love?
Now and days,
It's a misused phrase.
How did it become that way.
A meaning that's put to shame.
Almost becoming a bad habit today.
To Me.
Love is calm.
Love is star gazing in the middle of the night connecting with each other on a deep level.
Love is blissful.
Love is actions only words can explain to an extent.
Love is going out of your way for someone you care about.
It's doing something for someone you haven't done for anyone else.
It changes you.
Keeps you away from bad habits.
Gives you...

Tried to escape
11 pm at night
Wide awake
Mind rolling flash backs
A non escape
I try closing my eyes
But I'm wide awake
Awake by fear
Fear of him
I see him on the back side of my eye lids
I tried to escape
But I'm held down
Never did I know this strength
Never did I think I would
I see you
I see the way you looked at me
Such pleasure for you
But not for me
Eyes damped
Mind wondering to a safe place
Pain I can't take
But no strength against yours
You take
And take
I lose my sanity ...

Emergency
Not where I wanted to be today,
Let's pray I don't need surgery."
A picture says on my best friend's Snapchat.
Needle in her arm,
Ready to add more blood into her vains.
Preparing for surgery.
She'll soon find out.
Explains why she's been so tired.
Why she's been wanting to race at work,
But too exhausted at the thought of it and not quite sure why.
She thinks....
...
Work Stress?
Stress at home?
Maybe it's because I'm still weak over Chikkita passing away,
my dog I had for fourteen years.
Since 3rd grade. ...
