Take This Pain
I'm just done
with placing too much
emphasis
on your value
of me
Suffering
the trauma
of bruised self worth
doesn't fit me
anymore
I've outgrown you

of bruised self worth
doesn't fit me
anymore
I've outgrown you

No one matters to me except me
I was waiting at a bus stop
This guy yelled some derogatory shit at me from his car
I shot him twice and ran back home
That was five years ago
I think I'm safe now
I used to be real paranoid about the whole thing as you can expect
I used to have dreams about the pigs coming into my room and hauling me off to prison
Nothing ever happened
Looking back at it now, I feel ok about it
I didn't know the guy, so I really don't care
I used to think that there was something wrong with me because I didn't feel guilty about it
You do what you do and...

Back Drop Of Life
We all have a history
The back drop of
Our own life
Giving it substance
For better or worse
It is ours
And ours alone
We cannot change
The way it was
But it's in our power
To paint a new chapter
Richer with the cascading
Words that fill our minds
The back drop of
Our own life
Giving it substance
For better or worse
It is ours
And ours alone
We cannot change
The way it was
But it's in our power
To paint a new chapter
Richer with the cascading
Words that fill our minds

Glitter
The summer grass was kissed by glittery glistening drops of dew.
As if the world had been born sparkling and new.
Trying to mimick shimmering stars in the darkling sky.
What is the secret to keeping our inner twinkle alive?
Those sparks of heart fire, the flashing code of the soul's fireflies.
Rocked by the lull of dreaming's moon shining tide.
From the glitter in your heart, you must never hide
The sun paled in comparison to human shine.
As if the world had been born sparkling and new.
Trying to mimick shimmering stars in the darkling sky.
What is the secret to keeping our inner twinkle alive?
Those sparks of heart fire, the flashing code of the soul's fireflies.
Rocked by the lull of dreaming's moon shining tide.
From the glitter in your heart, you must never hide
The sun paled in comparison to human shine.

dark glow
darkly glow in your angst
and relish your depths
all are deeply reflective of you
inside the greed rise
shelter in the need
fill the void where you can
deepest secrets kept
in the promises grow
with an intellect so keen
direct your business
be yourself above all else
who else can you be?
dangerous affairs of the heart lurk
don't get dragged under
resist kissing the devil
who in rugged blue jeans looks so good
be good to you
when you can be
take on the harder topics ...

Self Expression
Self-confidence is not self-centered
It is liberation from self-deprecation
It is the selflessness of opening a window
On a bright sunny day for air flow
For the wind beneath your wings is not selfish
It is the breath of life in self-reprieve
So do what you must to build self-esteem
Paint yourself a self-portrait of self-reflection
Enjoy yourself to the fullest in all of your beauty
And never stray from the path of self-improvement
It is liberation from self-deprecation
It is the selflessness of opening a window
On a bright sunny day for air flow
For the wind beneath your wings is not selfish
It is the breath of life in self-reprieve
So do what you must to build self-esteem
Paint yourself a self-portrait of self-reflection
Enjoy yourself to the fullest in all of your beauty
And never stray from the path of self-improvement

To The End of The Road
A journey may be seen
as an adventure of a lifetime.
The good times, always welcome.
The bad times, test the strength of the commitment.
If one heart forges onward
and another remains immobile-
where does the path converge
or split?
My thoughts implode from self-chatter.
My heart bleeds from self-doubt.
As a duo, was this only to be a partial trek?
Perhaps this is an unexpected very long dark tunnel
from which we’ll emerge into the light.
Or just maybe, the sky is to remain...
as an adventure of a lifetime.
The good times, always welcome.
The bad times, test the strength of the commitment.
If one heart forges onward
and another remains immobile-
where does the path converge
or split?
My thoughts implode from self-chatter.
My heart bleeds from self-doubt.
As a duo, was this only to be a partial trek?
Perhaps this is an unexpected very long dark tunnel
from which we’ll emerge into the light.
Or just maybe, the sky is to remain...

Worship You
I could worship you
But
I know I would lose my soul
In you
I've not that much time
Let's leave good enough alone
In deep like
But
I know I would lose my soul
In you
I've not that much time
Let's leave good enough alone
In deep like

LET'S CELEBRATE DESPITE THE WEIGHT
Oh, what the hell!
It's natural!
Let's celebrate
despite the weight
that's descended
and expanded
the hips and ass
of this 'hour glass'
of a figure.
Some may snigger
but it it is my
lived-in body.
I'm what I am;
don't give a damn!
It's natural!

belief
9 of 30
when I was at my lowest point
he asked me what I believe in
I said I didn't really know anymore & he snorted
no wonder you're such a fucking mess
you have to believe in something
do more than just exist
point taken...and yet...
since that conversation
I've done a lot of thinking on the matter
gone over in mind what feels right
as an emotional creature...I follow my instincts
I now have a partial answer...
it will expand over time...you understand...

Silky Shield
strong and tall the barrier stand
as soft as love resilient as steel
guards my heart from falls and spills
a wire around to hold all still
holding away from fear and pain
shields held up against all sorrow
no heartaches or cuts to attend
protected from any forms of disdain
Within this fortress I reside
smiling with love from the other side
to live and yearn is better yet
than to hurt when love's unreturned
left behind in love and joy
forever wrapped in self care
to never let emotions destroy ...

Impeded Purpose
Impeded purpose,
Pivotal truth,
Betwixt patience,
Eternal virtue.
Dynamic environs,
Observed conscious,
Always adapting,
Esoteric aesthetics.
Axiom mimesis,
Steadfast vicarious,
Emotional orient,
Chosen chanced.
Potential relation,
Travails unity,
Future resolution,
Pursues peace.
