Fear

I see the person I am now And I wonder what happened to the man, Who was created with the hope That my words could one day help a soul in trouble. The words used to flow From deep within me Through my fingers Filling the page with the melody of my truth. Fear now …

Illusions of my forlorn state

Look at the pride that surrounds my exterior, Marvel at the confidence in my step, Hear the depth of my words, Words with profound depth. Turmoil is what you will never see On my face, This face that never exposes The dark hidden within. Therefore do not be fooled by the illusion Projected by an …

Your journey transformed

Mountains are getting taller, Rivers are stretching wider, Flowers are blossoming, Fresh rains begin to swell in the sky,   Your world is transforming, Right in front of your eyes, You willingly step through the door, That once cut you off,   This door that forced you to go through any opening you could find, …

Maybe

You may never know what it’s like, To have all of me, Because I keep you at arm’s length, To protect my heart, From the pain of failure.   I want to look at you through the eyes of my younger self, When I believed in a happily ever after, But the hurt that has …

Take control

How long will you wallow in despair? Despair of how bitterly unfair life is? Despair from how you are viewed by the world? How long will you stay stuck on what you cannot change?   Life is not meant for you to have it easy, Life is not here to hand you your dreams, You …

My mark

My Words

Many words have left my month, Words to further me, Words to sustain me, Words to sway a mate,   This may be read by others, It may be used by others, It may be admired, But I write them for you,   I love you, I want you to know that, I want you …

Sorry

What is I'm sorry? What is it worth? Why do you give it? Who does it help?   How many times are you going to say "I'm sorry"? You throw "I'm sorry" out like it's a pacifier, To keep me quiet and move past your wrongs, But I can't hear your sorry's anymore,   You …

Something is Stirring

Believed to have been defeated, Seen to have been whipped away, Thought to never return, So wrong all of them are.   Something is stirring, I feel, Life beginning to flow again, I feel, Air in my lungs again, I'm back, I am stronger.   My strength is immortal.   It is great, And it …

What is good enough?

Making an effort, Changing how I look, Doing more to please your body, And still you look at me void of incident,   I could bring you water from a hidden spring, Climb into an erupting volcano to get you a diamond, I could swim across all four oceans, And still you refuse to acknowledge …
