There is a garden in my lungs
With butterflies roaming in me

Lost butterflies are crowded in
They are wanting to be set free

The garden grew from feelings
With lovely roses you can't see

Red beautiful roses everywhere
With painful thorns stabbing me

This is the secret garden of mine
Living where my lungs should be

Maybe one day I will show you it
Because all this is suffocating me

White Horse

The truth of it is-

he's not going to fix you

she's not going to make you forget
the way your father would hit you

He is not going to make your collarbones sprout roses
He will not make you forget how to need

The truth of it is-

She is not a savior
She is not able to fight off the demons in your dreams

He will not make you forget the way your mother left
The bloodstains in the bathtub will still be there

The truth of it is-
This is your life
This is not a movie

No one is going to swoop in and save you

You will have to grow your own wings if you want to fly away

Goodbye (10 word)

I don't like goodbyes , how about a long hello instead

It is hard to say Goodbye whether it is for a short time or forever.
I wrote this awhile back but decided to post it today.
I hope you like it anyway.

Intentional

Not in the mood for middle feuds
cause that's not my greatest amuse
Please I thought by now you'd open your eyes
And see what turns me into a monster
All I ever try to do is be a sweet flower
That has a pretty scent  puts a smile when you see me
What way can I smile now ?
Even the thought of looking sickens me
Just the time when I started to accept your behavior
You have me questioning  to why is that so ?
Do something  say anything
See the beauty I behold
Change today
Better tomorrow
Manage a healthy
Relationship
That can last for a while

Something I haven't posted yet so here it is
!

All of our dreams will come true

~

Gracious, magnificent, wondrous desire
Breathless, my heart skips a beat
Soft on a moon beam now calling your name
Clinging to life ever sweet

~

Mirrored the image once caught in a dream
Forever my mind to receive
For of that moment our lips came to find
Nothing was lost to believe

~

Sensuous, perfect, my every need
Take me my love so divine
Shape me of forms which your heart does require
For in this truth you shall find

~

Forever and always my love will be strong
Know my affection for you
Join me in love and eternally see
All of our dreams will come true

Night Terrors

Demons in a sound mind
overtake the peace and need to be
free from nightly terrors
and from imprisoned memories
Here they come with gnashing teeth
and dancing waves of fiery rage
rewriting drama into horror
while taking center stage
Disrupting calming shades of gray
with an abruptly forceful wind
erasing pleasant waves of grace
replacing the good within
Awake in madness too deep to cure
dig nails into your skull and weep
there is no just for the living
and there is none for those who sleep

I've been having hellish nightmares lately. They are just awful.

(C) Maxwell 2014

I'm Becoming

I'm becoming stronger everyday
I'm becoming a better person
I'm emerging from the cocoon that held me bound
I'm breaking free from the shell
I don't want to be like a bird in a cage
I need to be free to fly
I don't want to be held bound by anyone's opinion of me
or anyone's insecurities including my own at times
I need to be free to roam
I need to be free to recover and free to discover what I need to
I need to be free to express myself and time to reflect
Free to think
Free to feel
Free to live with a healthy dose of zeal
Free to laugh at myself and others
Free to cry when hurting
Free to smile when happy
Free to Love
Free to make my own decisions
Free to make my own mistakes and learn from them
Free to be me and accept myself for who I am
Free to change the thing that I dislike about myself
Free to grow
Free to show my feelings
Free to soar like a new Butterfly
I am becoming Butterfly Ann

This is a poem reflecting on the feelings and thoughts concerning Recovery from a Depressive disorder I hope it reflects what it is like for me and I hope others can relate too, and that together we will get the proper recognition for our recovery process. It is best to speak up instead of hiding in silence.

learning to fly with broken wings

my heart explodes with joy
as I flutter my wings

I will never fly as gracefully
or as long as the other birds

but when I am in the air
even for a moment
I feel free

my broken wings lift me up
to where I do not know,
but somewhere etched in my heart

a strange thing happened when I
started singing songs of gratitude
for learning to fly with broken wings

other birds with broken wings
started to gather around me
sharing their experience and hopes

I am free as my heart sings joyfully
my own hopes and dreams
as I share my experience
to help another bird with broken wings
to journey a little closer
to the place etched in their hearts

and somehow I am exactly
where I am supposed to be
flying with broken wings

joe cole's prompt for a poem about freedom. I chose to approach it in the non-literal route.

I want you, but..

I don't want to write about you
Because if I should,
I will have to open my mind and reminisce
And let filthy scenes fill my head
Of guilty sins
Which have destroyed the bridge, connecting who I was,
To who I've become
Making it hard to cross once more

I don't want to forget you
But if I could,
I will start by burning my diaries,
Watch as ***** secrets turn grey
Turn meaningless,
Demolishing what's left of my happiest moments,
Creating suicidal thoughts
In the nearest future

I don't want to marry you
But suppose I do
I will have to ignore your wrong doings
Hurt as you slash me with broken promises
Breaking me, reducing me
Hell breaking loose and you finally dominating me

I don't want to remember,
See,
Feel,
Hear,
Crave,
Miss you

You're a gate pass to hell,
Heaven knows,
I don't wanna go there

Wet Feet (10 word)

Try getting your feet wet before plunging into the ocean

Often it is best to take small steps in life.
I hope my small steps will mean good things.

Should I...

Be happy -
knowing that you're hurt?
Be amazed -
on how unfair life is to you?
Be sad -
believing you deserve it?

Be feeling empty -
knowing that for one day,
just one day,
you'd made me feel all these.
