She tries to stay positive and spread the joy
But, sometimes, she reaches her breaking point
A volcano of emotions that’s ready to erupt
The mind games of the world need to stop

As she lets her tears flow down her face
Releasing the frustrations and the pain
Allowing herself to feel some sort of grace
Yet, still shackled up in the emotional chains

Trusting the process is the hardest game
Difficult roads of lost ways
Wandering through the doubtful life
Always coming up short, is it worth the fight

This time of doubt will turn out
Life is all about the ups and downs
Plant your feel firmly on the ground
Deep breath in, deep breath out

Your breaking point has been reached
The eruption time has now passed
Get back out there with your head up high
Life is a journey of imagination in hindsight…

Even in the darkest of times, the light, even dimmed, will always shine through to help guide you back on track...

Listening to the silent whispers of the world around you, only to be drowning in the silence of your own whispering thoughts that haunt you…

The time has come to close your eyes
We said our I love yous and said our goodbyes
It's time to relax and let the feelings go
Don't worry about us, were stronger then you know.

It's time to see the light, and feel God’s touch
It's in God’s  hands now, but please know we will miss you so much.
I wrote this 10 years ago next to my dad’s bedside a couple hours before he passed away. Miss you and love you Papa Bear

She picks up the broken pieces, scattered all around at her feet
The failures
The hurt
The pain
The deceit
Collecting them one by one overtime
Slowly building another mountain to climb
Piece by piece
Layer by layer
Collecting those fragmented bits of the past
Only to build something stronger than the last
You will still feel hurt
You may still fail
Pain will always be there
But if you rebuild what was once crumbling down
You will, once again, walk upon solid ground

You built up the wall that stands in your way
Trying to find a crack to escape
Broken down pieces
Fragments all around you
Yet the walls are still standing, your stuck like glue
You are the one who gets in the way
Nobody else who can take that blame
But you built this wall like a cone of shame
Hiding in plain sight is the name of the game

Kicking and screaming in the depths of your mind
Silence is screeching within your sense of time
Kicked back to reality with the tears you still cry
Over and over this nightmare lives out in my mind
But looks there’s a hammer, I call it my heart
Break down these walls
Tear them apart
I found the way out of this invisible box
Wish we could turn back the hands on the clock

I stood in my own way
I broke down these walls
I may be broken but it didn’t break me enough
I’m who I am from all I’ve been through
Trusting my instincts and holding my heart

You built up the wall that stands in your way
Trying to find a crack to escape
Broken down pieces
Fragments all around you
Yet the walls are still standing…


Yet, I found a way out…..
