Destiny Gaze across the waters of life drown not the heart renew the eternal soul.

Bring back the memories that made you understand why you had to do what you had to do to bring back the peace, love, and harmony you once had.

Close not the door to knowledge let your imagination power you through all the realities you are now creating!

It is not the door that has a handle it is the handle that keeps your door opening with enthusiasm.

The Garden grows green with love watered with warmth, and admired from within.

Life has no answers just a moment to know you are loved by yourself knowing this will make you grow brighter through all the seasons that pass.

For an instant, your strength astounds you becoming aware of destiny's sweet bliss, upon the rock you stand alone becoming eternal.

Shame on me

Shame on me for not pushing the label further.

Shame on me for not recognizing your true colors.

Shame on me for being deceived by your continuous empty promises.

Shame on me for ignoring the endless trail of red flags.

Shame on me for embracing your abuse with open arms.

Shame on me for accepting your disrespect.

Shame on me for allowing you to destroy the tenacious woman I am.

Shame on me

Let the moment continue
there’s no peace to make
no past to refight
or future at stake

Uncharted not lost
forever inbound
the instant repeating
—with memory refound
