A poem please
ErikaTheArtist Jun 2018
A poem a day is all I need,
To blog with friends is an inspirational leave.
I am uplifted physically as I read
up,
up,
uuup, and breathe
A poem a day, brings my nights to life,
illuminating the vacant space in the darkest nights
a sweet escape from the life I lead
Please grant me access, so I may proceed.

A poem a day is all I need
First live poem, I hope you can vibe with it!

Monster house
ErikaTheArtist Jul 2018
Im green and old inside and out.
My walls are decaying but filled with memories.
I hold your love, your life, and your soul.
Here we came to relieve, but were forced to relearn.
Here we fell, and were conquered.
Consumed by defeat day in and day out.
Depression, and agony linger between these walls.
Future hopes to get out, so close we nearly grasped it.
Not close enough and we are back, back to this dusty old house.
Returned to our rooms paint jobs half finished.
Potential forgot, motivation consumed with dark and a heavy urge too sleep.
In the monster house we lay at home sweet dreams, not a peep.
My depression started @1207 and continued @505

Fathers Day
ErikaTheArtist Jun 2018
I'm not bitter, nor sad
just missing time we could have had
Happy fathers day,
to the best dad I never knew.

ps: I would have called but you didn’t  answer last year.
My father chose to remain a stranger, that's his lose.
To the men who care, Happy Fathers Day and keep up the good work.

If today doesn't work
ErikaTheArtist Mar 2021
If today doesn't work, get up tomorrow and try again.

If tomorrow doesn't work, get up and try again.

If the days after tomorrow doesn't work.... well your not there yet take a deep breath get up and push to try again.

Don't get discouraged get up and try again.

Even if the next day and the next day don't work get up and try again.

Life is worth the fails because when you finally win every loss will make sense.

Get up and try again.
When today doesn't work be grateful for tomorrows grace

Inner thought
ErikaTheArtist Jan 2022
Everyday that goes by I try I try.

Everyday I fail I fail

I fall I fall

Why do I keep getting up

When will I fly

He spoke sweet nothings
And I listened;
sweet nothings mean everything sometimes

Untitled
ErikaTheArtist Jan 2022
When glass breaks in the forrest what sound does it make
does it shatter,
does the ground shake?
When glass breaks,
Who cringes to the crashing or non crashing it makes,
who cleans up the remains;
who cautions the area off,
who saves the day?
