Wet expressions wept down her face
Each tear ran down like an endless race
Until disappearing in invisible space
Her voice shook as she tried to explain
Why her eyes began to rain
What oppression has caused this depression
What began this pain?
"You have to want to change."
She remembered another exchange
And in other conversations about the same thing
She thought it was strange because
Someone else near and dear said you will never WANT to move
As much as you need to
You just have to get up and do.
Another said you have to want it in order to change
She wanted to speak up to herself and to others but...
She had always thought it was beyond her range
In the counselor´s office comfort was sinking sand
She saw that family around her stood on the rock
Was that why she wasn't steady?
In the auditorium which everything felt louder than ever
He (her friend) asked, "Are you ready?"
Then she looked in her heart, and her heart it was heavy
She asked (herself), "Are you ready?"
She responded ¨Yes.¨
But that answer sounded more like a guess
Then he asked "Are you sure you're ready?"

Many greater poems that I will not share
I'm learning of privacy
Pretending I don't care that others wont see this greatness
just because its personal
With myself I have to be merciful
Its hard for me to keep quiet when i'm this well with words
Not everything should be shared
People think they know me
I see the stares
They can't possibly know me if I haven't even found myself yet
That's not fair
"Do you think before you speak?"
A nasty question, that many times I had to eat
I sound smarter when I write first
At least those times I know that I think
Some day, I want to preach
I feel this urge to teach
I know that first i'll have to work on my speech

I've never belonged in a particular place
As I draw, others trace
I don't know how to live if I can't create
In my mind I make palaces where I stay
Palaces where I play
Coloring books turn into texts books
that take the care away 'till I decay
Systems and cycles mold minds made into clay
Creatives paint the plain space
Worlds built on a blue lined, blank page

Dive deep into those domes we go
Soil, h2o, building homes we go
Not ***** water but damp soil to grow
Planting seeds of love for Hope.
Dirt brick houses can't hide the snow
To cuddle closer whats needed is cold
Melted into mud
For the first time i'm not afraid of deep water
Before we bloom the flowers Bud
The seasons change, the sea gets hotter
"April showers bring may flowers."
Fall leaves may bring powers
Rising up at early hours
Building blocks
Foundations for summer towers
Kingdoms that we now know are ours
Condensation
Precipitation
Participation in the cycles
Team work to build disciples

I sit in my rocking chair.
My tired bones.
Let me find a place to rest my soul.
The chair stops rocking, once filled with youth.
Age is getting older.
Death knows the truth.
Death before life again.
Eternal breath in the waters of the womb.
My time isn't yet.
I'm on the water but... is it wet?
(lol)
Still I sit here drifting back and forth.
The waves of aging rush me
Never sending me back to shore.
Let my vessel go back into the earth.
My soul back into the water of life
where was birth.
Eternal breath, no longer drowning.
I don't fight with the riptides or waves.
Not even surf.
My former flesh laying in the casket I reserved
Now we realize how much my life was worth.
The amount of peace I receive from God now, not even deserved.
Great grace and mercy. His will I serve.

Look.
I ain't tryna risk it all
But I'd do it for you if there was no risk at all
I'll be shopping in your mind for miles
Like a mall
tryna figure out what to buy.
But honestly I would rather buy some time - to spend with you
When I'm talking to you, my words scramble up like alphabet soup
Or maybe scrambled eggs that I wanna make for you
Can we sneak up on the roof?
Gaze up at the moon.
Or if you just wanna go out and get some food
I wouldn't mind
You're so kind
You give me all the love I couldn't find
But... I'm not in love with you. I just "like" :/ :)

Your brown eyes dig me deeper into the ground
Deeper than the Earths crust
Gold couldn't amount to the worth of you and your trust
You brighten up my moon like Saturday sun
I'm more infatuated than an addict taking a puff
The orange colors in the sky before it turns dusk
Our favorite colors, yellow, purple, but I have pink blush
You're such a beautiful soul
I couldn't just look at your vessel with lust
Just to bask in your presence for a while
It's a must
I love you. I couldn't say that enough.
I'll hold onto you, on the rocky road
Even when it seems too rough
If you locked me in your heart
I wouldn't ask to be uncuffed
I fell in love with someone's son
I've never been treated the way he treats me
We might not be the most compatible
But I'd argue he completes me
It hit me like lightning before I heard the thunder
When we first started talking
It left me to wonder
Was it a blessing, or a spell that I fell under?
