I sit here day by day
Wishing for different things
Things don't really mean anything
In the scheme of things
We are just here for a while
I want my loved ones to out number
my bank account-
And my life
to be more than a 9 to 5
Dying for things I 'love'
That will never hold me when I am sick
Or love me when I'm gone
My imprint on this world
Should be more than my belongings
and an amount of digits
To create something beautiful to leave behind
Or perhaps a kindness or love
Or wise words for someone who needs
That may just stick
Is all I could truly want
In a world like this
poem poetry love kind kindness thoughts you world life hope future heart

Does the anger ever consume you?
Do you ever feel the fire
build in your heart
pumping through your veins
to balled fists and a screaming head
making deals with the devil
to let the dam break

I love the sounds the rivers make
babbling,
sloshing
tumbling against rounded rocks
pushing yesterdays stream
into tomorrow
wading it away as if to say goodbye
for if the river does not move
it is bound to flood

The earth beneath my feet
Thrums with her heart beat
The tree branches sway
With the changing day
Hiding scars of days past
As did the last
When will you learn of past mistake?
Of avoiding demons come to take
Last few strands of sanity hanging on for my own sake.
After years of safe lies to yourself
Can you face your ownself
With courage for the next day?
To keep them at bay
To fight for my own rationality
For my memories have taken my reality
I wrote this with my anxiety in mind, I've often had times where certain events and people were so difficult to deal with and would make me feel so anxious I would simply avoid dealing with it and processing it. This is my interpretation of this. I also wrote this while sipping chamomile tea and sitting in a nice comfy chair while the rain came down.

Streaks of the past
Wiped out of sight
As I open my mind
Anew
My surrenders to demons
cease with my own will
The realization of my own power
To stop these thoughts
And see life with grace
Have saved my heavy heart
The small blessings
Must be acknowledged
And misfortunes understood
For our souls to be content

You're eyes my favorite get away
My face mirrors yours
As the sides of your mouth turn to a grin
And I know
Your kindness and heart
Shine from within
As your spirit leads you
I know only good directions...
Oh how I love
Such a true soul
Who could make me radiate at my lowest points
And guided my through seas too rough
I don't know what I'd do without
My other half
To adventure these roads ahead
And keep me from losing myself again
Someone I love very much

Her eyes a whisper
Of melancoly tunes
While her cries rang out in
Waves of shock
Crash onto the shore
Of my ever present worries
Please cease the pain
Because
As the sun set
To meet the darkness
Sleep took her
And the stars looked on
In a looming somber
A blanketed peace
Soothed her dampened eyes
Even just for a little while
