Counting my blessing
While I count the star's
Close my eyes
Making a wish as one falls apart
Shooting across the night sky

“You often hide behind your smile and laughter to cover up your feelings and emotions to please others…”
Coming from a gymnastics background for many years, it’s more then just a physical sport, it’s more mental then anything. I applaud her for recognizing that something is wrong, and looking out for herself as well as her teammates. She could have completely hurt herself in the long run and also the team for even having a chance to place in the Olympics!  It’s hard to put yourself in someone’s else’s shoes, especially someone of that caliber, but sometimes you just break, even at the olympics. Mental illness is something you can’t just “deal” with. Simone, is brave and such an amazing young woman.

there's an odd transience in the air,
borne of frosted breath and
hushed pain,
all too familiar yet still so strange

I breathe in the change,
as it oils the cogs of the old machine,
sweeping the dust out of metal arteries
amid plastic veins

a heavy step, deepest imprint
in the snow, joints creak in a melody
that only he understands,
a faint whistle, a mimic of harmony

the air is still, not stale
silence says, not feels

there's an odd transience in the air,
and he likes it.
I like it.

You feel like your lost
Even though you are not
Your finding yourself
That’s been hidden for sometime

Even the most colorless of roses, still have life and purpose…
It takes the right person to bring the color back to life and bloom to its highest expectations...

Sometimes is easier to just forget, then live with the mindset of the what if’s.
