Be You!!!
Be yourself!
This is the best and only person You can really be.
Don’t take away from your uniqueness
By trying to change it.
Being yourself leads to success;
Trying to be someone you are not, to failure.
Use your time and energy
To make the most of who you are;
To build yourself up,
Not to tear yourself down.
Be yourself!

Dream Dive
I dreamed
of a deep black lake
The darkness was enticing -
escape from demands,
a reprieve from
burning
brightness
So I dove headlong
into the inky cold,
Luxuriated in
velvet numbness
and blind acceptance
Down I went
Expecting to find the bottom of me,
to come out the other side
whole
healed
But there was no end to the dark.
No redemption down there.
Just grasping zombie hands
pressing my bruises
massaging my fears
...

Expecting to find the bottom of me,

But there was no end to the dark.

Haiku's Plagarised.
Google? Steal me... Art!
So, I be! Not, " not to be..?"
" Feck orff, steal yer own! "

I give you my ear
but, you are deaf to my voice
till your eyes, open.

Not many readers
back in old Will Shakespeare's day
Plays! That was their thing...
4
We love this business
we rise, set to, write, with will!
others? Merely, steal
5
Shakespeare got his write
mining old tomes and bibles.
No fool's gold for him!

Out of the Cellar
These words though not stolen are criminal.
Casting out daggers subliminal.
I struggle to make a decision.
As my heart leaks from the incision.
Orwell was right about people,
pointing their fingers like steeples.
They pledge to the mother their fealty,
while I see the mob just as guilty.
Walking through minefields of eggshells.
Just because some think that peace sells.
I don’t believe in love anymore,
after all I was built to make war.
Loyalty, the blood in my veins.
For those whom I trust it remains.
Not...

My body is my temple
My body is my temple
Enshrined in the heart of me
And my hopes cannot be contained
For the stars shine on down
Enshrined in the heart of me
And my hopes cannot be contained
For the stars shine on down

BUILD ME UP, OR TEAR ME DOWN, WHICH ONE WILL IT BE?
You said you loved me,
Baby I thought it was true,
But the second things got hard,
I questioned what I thought I knew.
You said don't worry,
You said don't cry,
We had a connection,
No one could deny.
You told me lies straight to my face,
You promised you'd stop drinking,
But inside I knew,
It was just wishful thinking.
How could you treat me like this,
After all we went through?
The day we break up,
You go find another girl to screw!
You may have played with my head,
You may have stolen my heart, ...

Love At First Sight
Do you believe in love at first sight ?
Do you believe,
In Love at first sight,
Like you see someone,
And just know inside,
You want to be with them,
Do you believe,
That you could look into there eyes,
And just see your whole future,
What it would be like,
To have them always by your side,
Can you look into there eyes,
And just know,
Something great is going to happen,
Maybe something wonderful,
Love at first sight,
Don't sound too bad to me,
Sounds like something wonderful,
To have someone actually...

My Truths Saved Me
Live an authentic life
Forgiveness cleanses the soul
Being a confident woman does not make me aggressive
My thoughts and feelings can be balanced
External validation is not necessary
Mistakes happen
This is all a learning experience
I acknowledge my wrongs and take responsibility
Nobody is perfect
Sometimes I will have a bad day
I’m strong enough to handle this
Grin and bear it until I can deal with it
This too shall pass
I am capable
I celebrate my accomplishments
I understand me
I accept me ...

In so many ways...
It always feels the same. The aching.
It always feels like the slow drip of your soul as it leaves your body in the form of broken ideals.
In so many ways, I want to be clean of this.
This desire for someone else to love me.
In so many ways I crave the fire and the passion of someone to anger me,
destroy my monotony.
Wreck my precariously constructed peace.
Take one by one all the last fragments of me...
I don't want them anymore.
In so many ways I crave solitude,
a grey blue dawn with steam rising from a sequestered pond, ...

I Don’t Always Reply
I don’t often respond
Sometimes my thoughts abscond
But I want to savor your words
Everything that I’ve heard
Belongs right where it is
Prepared me for this
Living my dream
Not always quite as it seems
Appreciate the space
See the smile on my face
No longer in the rat race
The comments I embrace
The respect can’t be replaced
Not each poem is aced
But that’s okay
For me today
Sometimes my thoughts abscond
But I want to savor your words
Everything that I’ve heard
Belongs right where it is
Prepared me for this
Living my dream
Not always quite as it seems
Appreciate the space
See the smile on my face
No longer in the rat race
The comments I embrace
The respect can’t be replaced
Not each poem is aced
But that’s okay
For me today

I've Forgotten How to Feel on Paper
Poems write themselves
while I'm in the car
or taking a shower
lines and rhymes flicker
at the edges in half-sleep
But when I have pen in hand
or keys under fingertips
the will and the words evaporate
seek the safety of ether
reject the solidity of black and white
while I'm in the car
or taking a shower
lines and rhymes flicker
at the edges in half-sleep
But when I have pen in hand
or keys under fingertips
the will and the words evaporate
seek the safety of ether
reject the solidity of black and white

Drift
Confusing
abusive
your memory's curved
and it turns into
a useless disadvantage
Shots fired from miles away
but the impact hits
in the guest bedroom.
Such a fool for the things
we can't let go of
And the boat rocks
but our hearts drift away
until we sink
abusive
your memory's curved
and it turns into
a useless disadvantage
Shots fired from miles away
but the impact hits
in the guest bedroom.
Such a fool for the things
we can't let go of
And the boat rocks
but our hearts drift away
until we sink
