Being two people
Is an ongoing chore
Anxious and depressed
But never a bore!
Battling the demons
In my head
So many times
My mind has fled
My mind it crashed
And lost control
But it sure did help me
to find my soul
Time went by
And I have learned
Sometimes you can't repair
The bridges that have burned
I'm here for a reason
Just like you
Summer is my season
Sky blue
Born in May
So much to say
Gifted in ways
But there's always delays
Don't know what to...
Is an ongoing chore

Time went by
And I have learned

Different
There she goes again
Taking it out of proportion
It's so hard not to
believe what she once thought
Because the scars
Proved what was and
What it would never be again
So she tries
She works hard
She sees progress
She sees herself
She is Healing
Taking it out of proportion
It's so hard not to
believe what she once thought
Because the scars
Proved what was and
What it would never be again
So she tries
She works hard
She sees progress
She sees herself
She is Healing

World of Hate
there is a man who unhooks his bra
picks off his fingernails
and wipes off his makeup
looks in the mirror each day
staring at his reflection with no regrets
seeing a man that is fearless
laying himself on his king-size bed
then placing his wig on the nightstand
thinking back to when he was bullied
dropping out of school because of the hate
many threats against him for just being himself
a life that could have been lost to ignorance
now he embraces every moment
we don't have to be the sickness
we can be the cure...

The Awakening
My mind restlessly wander
To the plethora of dreams
That never cease to come
Bespeaking like the winds
Gently alluring my thoughts
The words... My being
I was lost in the obscurity
Of the bitter sweet reality
And the incendiary flames
of our memories together
Traverse my being like a torch of fire
Illuminating, consuming and conquering
As emptiness slithers quietly
unto my core
Allow me to write the things
embedded in my soul
A release Ive been longing to forge
A sweet escape in this...
To the plethora of dreams
That never cease to come
Bespeaking like the winds
Gently alluring my thoughts
The words... My being
I was lost in the obscurity
Of the bitter sweet reality
And the incendiary flames
of our memories together
Traverse my being like a torch of fire
Illuminating, consuming and conquering
As emptiness slithers quietly
unto my core
Allow me to write the things
embedded in my soul
A release Ive been longing to forge
A sweet escape in this...

The Storm
Her sails were disheveled and worn, tattered and torn,
As she was headed toward a storm out at sea,
Alone but with the courage of a seafarers lust for life,
Under ominous clouds as far as the eye could see.
At first they were all rough blue waves and sprays,
But quickly they turned to walls overhead and high,
As the raging winds turned everything to blackness,
Followed by lightning in the frightening darkened sky.
She holds steadfast and strong with unwavering calm,
Knowing that all this will blow over into tranquility,
Even as...

Your Light
penumbra of hope
scintilating from within
for every pain
synthesized with love
a new creed begins

nowhere...
there's so many directions to take
so many roads
yet
we choose to place footprints
over yesterday’s footprints
so many roads

we choose to place footprints

Empathy
Your tears solidify in my mind.
Becoming shards of glass.
They cut me, and I bleed my words
to life's parchment.
These wounds leave no scars,
but I am pierced with compassion
for you.
Marked by your presence.
Not sorrowful but blessed,
because feeling so deeply your
emotions,
brings clarity to my own.
When the curtains close,
I will be at peace.
Having known myself,
by feeling you.
Becoming shards of glass.
They cut me, and I bleed my words
to life's parchment.
These wounds leave no scars,
but I am pierced with compassion
for you.
Marked by your presence.
Not sorrowful but blessed,
because feeling so deeply your
emotions,
brings clarity to my own.
When the curtains close,
I will be at peace.
Having known myself,
by feeling you.

In these moments
In these moments, when the past is overwhelming
In these moments, when there’s nothing but the scream
Of your soul, reapeating it: “I’m sorry”
when regret is drowning, no hope of a dream
In these moments it comes back with force and passion
In these moments when it mocks your good intent
In the outcome lie the demons of your sin
In the outcome echoes fear of failing once again
In these moments there’s no feeling in your heart to save you
No messiah, you can not command the storm to just be still
Just a human, but when the heart...

ant faith was none the worse

Reminder that you could truly
Overcome anything and you are
Stronger than any of the thorns
Everyone tried to warn you about
Overcome anything and you are
Stronger than any of the thorns
Everyone tried to warn you about

Just my Way
Two steps forward
Three steps back
Tumble over
Talk some smack
In through the out door
Drive the wrong way
Swim up stream
Just another day
Nothing come easy
Not my way
Bang my head
Work twice for pay
Beauty in flux
Poetrys design
Kink in the machine
Dysfunction define
Pain for my sustenance
Constantly bruised
But yet I live
So hope remains
Three steps back
Tumble over
Talk some smack
In through the out door
Drive the wrong way
Swim up stream
Just another day
Nothing come easy
Not my way
Bang my head
Work twice for pay
Beauty in flux
Poetrys design
Kink in the machine
Dysfunction define
Pain for my sustenance
Constantly bruised
But yet I live
So hope remains
