Flower Power
Krista Feb 2021
You came into my life slowly. Subtlety. Patiently.
All I can say is things blossomed between us.
The small bud opened up into a beautiful flower.
Soaking up the vibrate sunlight.
each day growing bigger and stronger.
Time passed and seasons changed.
The flower starts to wilt but not with weakness but with vulnerability and trust.
For it knows the sun will still shine and other flowers will bloom.
our hearts opened.
our minds grew with understanding and trust.
our souls soared.
Heart. Mind. Soul.

Inner Strength
Krista Jan 2021
Sadness sometimes feels like you're consumed with madness.
It's never ending and I'm done pretending.
Plaster on that smile, wear that mask for a while.
Your heartaches because of the risks you take,
they fall through and now you're stuck feeling so blue.
The numbness seeps in all the way down to your core.
Making you question what you have left to live for.
You feel no excitement or joy,
like your some pushed aside toy,
but your the master actor playing your part,
so others don't question what has you falling apart.
You wish you could tell them, god do you wish.
But expressing your feelings was not your one true gift.
You over feel and isolate yourself,
and then you feel so alone you start to hate yourself.
You try and break free of the heavy weight of these feelings.
It's like you're underwater trying to break the ice on the surface.
pounding and yelling,
no one hears you, you're invisible to the world.
Until the ice melts and your finally free,
and you see how you want things to be.
brush off others influences,
It's their problem if they have differences.
now you can open your eyes and see,
how you want to be,
this sadness is gone,
you can go and live on.
Be you and be strong
