I'm done with living in the dark
I'm done with all these razor blade scars
No more depression pills
It's time to turn this life around
Yeah I'm homeward bound
Time to lift up and change my sound
I'm done with depressing lyrics
I'm done with being the victim
When I'm the one who put myself in that position
Yeah memories can stay in the past
Right where they belong
I'm singing a brand new song
Hope you're all willing to come along

Heal This Heart

Heal This Heart

I can't stop my heart from aching
You're the one who stops it from breaking
My soul is yours for the taking
If you can keep me from fading
Away into the blackness of yesterday
 I'm still trying to clear my conscience 
I know you stored hope into your pocket 
You're the one who keeps me  from exploding like a rocket
 It's amazing how you can stand by me
 Girl, I can see it crystal clear 
You'll always be here
No matter what I throw at you
No matter what we're going through
It's things like that, that make me think back
and realise everything is gonna be just fine.

Eyes full of Lies

Jul 2017 grace anthony

I am myself

Eyes full of Lies

Blank,
Dead,
Empty,
Your eyes

Look
At
Me
I die

Break
Me
Down
You lie

All
I
See
Your eyes

Mortality

I'm fading away,
and all I leave behind me
isn't meant to stay.

Only a woman

Only a woman

Don't judge me by my looks
And don't read me by the books
I am brash and I am kind
I am hard to define
I am bold. I am shy
I am grounded, but I fly
I love, and I give
I cradle, I forgive
Though soft I may feel
I am thunder, I am steel
I am smiles and I am laughter
I am happily ever after
I am tears and I am ache
I am a mess when I break
I hold tightly, but I know
When it's time to let go
I am dove, I am hawk
I am the rose and the rock
I am rain. I am sun
I am I. I am woman

Thank you all so much **

Dearest everyone, thank you so much for your likes, loves, reposts. Thank you so much for all your wonderful and encouraging responses. This is a small, simple poem and I wasn't certainly expecting all the attention it has received. I am grateful to all of you talented poets and readers. I am so happy that it was chosen as a daily - it's a wonderful feeling. Love to all.

I am also very thankful to Conrad Druger van den Bergh, an excellent poet and wonderful friend who inspired this x

ground control

feels like i'm out
in space.

drifting.

what's
              the                     point                of        life?
there         isn't             really
    much               to
                           live        for.

i'm like stars.
scattered. just less beautiful.
hold me tight;
i don't want to float away.

promise me i will be fine,
that the stars will align for me,
that somehow the universe will see
why i'm alive and what my purpose is
and maybe, just maybe, i don't have to be
afraid. make contact with me, as i drift out into
space, let me know i have a home deep in your heart,
somewhere i can go when i'm lost, somewhere i know i can
be myself, without restraint, somewhere i know i am truly loved.

never change

do our hearts really break?
or are they just bent into a new shape,
ready to fit into a new person's?

if i could tell you i would let you know.

who are we, really?
behind the laughter, the tears
behind the people we pretend to be
what are we made of?

if i could tell you i would let you know.

do we stay the same
our whole lives
or do we shed our past selves,
evolving into a new version
of us, free of the shadows
that used to haunt our hearts?

if i could tell you i would let you know.

why do we change for people?
why do we pretend to be people we're not
just to mold ourselves
into a warped version of the people
we used to be?

who are we, really?

*if i could tell you i would let you know.

you told me
that you would always be there
but now
you are gone
