~
Was stuck in a rut
But because of all of you
I feel like I’m free.
~

A way to express
And to let yourself feel

To not bottle up
The damage inside

And to let it all out
As a way to survive

In rhythms and rhymes
To make up a song

In a way that is real
A type that is raw

And powerfully done
Ready for all

The truth then comes out
But still kept safe.

To learn to be calm
Is something I long to know
Can't wait for that day

Kindness is made from
A softened heart
A warmer soul
and
A brighter mind
Kindness requires light to shield us from
darkness

When you're feeling trapped
In a cold wet blanket
All you must do
Is find love
And then
love
it.

Please promise me
to never, ever forget
that you are worthy
just keep that mindset

I look over at you
and all I can see
is beauty through and through
let your smiles be free

Continue to grow
and you will be gifted
with peace that will flow
and hope that is lifted

<3
After all these years
I’m just now realizing
I’ve a crush on you
<3

Spread love like petals in the breeze
And embrace life with a smile, please

As your life is a gift
So, let your face lift

Soak in the sun
Dark clouds, there are none

And remember
As long a we will all stick together

We can get anything done
As we are all one

So it's time to paint the sky bright
Then, we'll spread our bright light

Because a bright sky is indeed
Just what this world needs.

If you crave freedom

You must let go of your chains

And change your old ways.

As free as a bird
To fly at great heights
And being washed by the sun
Feel the warmth of light

To spread your wings high
Then lift off the ground
And soar through the sky
Only peace will be found

To feel free as a bird
Away from all stress
Only my songs will be heard
No fears to express

Stop interrupting
I do not want Premium
Please let me listen

How does a poem sound
When there's no rhyme around?
How do words fit
If the end does not transmit?

Rhyme, time, chime, dime.

You could write with a rhyme every line
This could change how it sounds
But still make it all align
This is now a poem that is still confound

Write, change, light, range

You could continue this pattern
And it will always sound good
But what if you don't rhyme?
How does this poem sound

Different, good, bad, odd

A poem does not need these rhymes
All it needs is feel
Something that is special
And is powerful anyways.

Oh, to be like the rain on a warm summer's day
To fall to the Earth and allow cool air to stay

The good kind of rain that refreshes the skin
And we dance in the fields as we lift up our chin

Oh, to be this fine rain will fill me with glee
I listen with a smile as the drops hit the tree

The good kind of rain is all that I need
As I wait and I wait for my love to be freed

Goodbye, old friend
I’ll miss you too much

With your Caribbean charm
And loving touch

You never failed
To make me smile

You let me forget my worries
For a while

I loved you then
And I’ll love you now

I will never forget you
That is my vow

Although you’re gone
I suppose my only advice

Is to remind myself
That I’ll see you again
~
In another life.

Although I don't know you
I know some need to hear
That I'm proud you're alive
You've got this, my dear.

I know it's been hard
But you are so strong
Keep your head up, my dear
And remember:

you belong.

Here is a quick reminder to:

drink water, eat, take your medication

and remember that

you will be okay

To express what is real
And to show how I feel
With my pen in my hand
My words I will bend
To let out my own thoughts
Before my life rots
A race against the clock
My mind I won't block
And then I will lay
I'm done for the day

5 minutes is up
