My back has been sore the past week.
I’ve spent too much time
picking up pieces
that I should have left on the ground.
It’s okay to fall apart.
I’ve heard people say
you can put yourself
back together.
I say you can’t.
You must grow new pieces.
The old ones don’t fit.
They will never fit.
You must grow new pieces.
It will hurt.
It will take time.
But by the time you’re finished
you will be filled with
what keeps stars from burning up.
There will be nothing that can
dim your glowing heart,
nothing that can break your
burning bones.
No one will be able to steal
the sunlight in your fingers.
I know some nights will shatter you.
You will fall apart.
It’s okay to fall apart,
because you will grow new pieces.
You
Moving on, your more than gone

you showed me the way, by never giving the option to stay

you taught me a great deal, with all that was real

you showed me the lies, helped me learn to hide my cries

you taught me my strength, to you i must thank

the look in your eyes, the coldness it cannot pass by

you tried to play me a fool, i will admit i couldnt keep

it cool

but now that your away, without you i must stay

if not for you, i wouldnt know my feelings were true

you had your fun, you had your games

you gave me hell, you have me your pain

you did as you planned, you did it well

you gave me your pitch, indeed did it sell

you broke my heart, you tore me in two

but if it wasnt for you, i would have never new...

to be alone is not to be lonely, but to be saved

from in which the drama this world craves

to be without you, it didnt seem true

but i found my one true love, and the girl isnt you
The road is narrow
But forever long
Most days I walk
Or stumble along
Often it's bumpy
Rarely smooth
Sometimes I question
Choices I choose
Never clear of direction
We do not know
Just what is ahead
As we go
some times are good
Some leave us sad
Take the rough with smooth
Good with the bad
Remember this !your not alone
Can't write him a letter
Nor pick up the phone
But no matter  how bad things seem today
He's waiting and listening
For you to pray
His name is Jesus
Our guiding light
There in the morning
Till last thing at night
His hand is outstretched
Reaching down from above
Offering All
( Unconditional  Love.  )
"Help," she tries
but her tears drown the sound
of a little girl so desperately bound
by the things this world will never know
her smile and laugh is all she'll show.

Look past it then, and you'll see the pain,
of a little girl trying in vain.
Won't anyone see? Won't they care?
Will anyone even try to dare?

"Help," she starts...but quiets down...
for she is lost...and they are found.
You don't know what it is to break
You think that I am made of stone
My home is what you chose to take
Reducing me to skin and bone
My poor child, rich in tears
I am the monster behind your pain
You do not count your golden years
As black and white fortifies your cane
You know nothing of what is true
Nothing of hunger, or rattling breath
Of sidewalk beds and bruises blue
The trembling that induces death
You do not weigh 110 pounds
You have never known fragility
You cannot hear those awful sounds
The silent anguish of instability
Have you ever been forced into the dark?
By hands larger than your waist
It's just a stroll into the park...
Until its blood and torn lace
This is why I must come back
To the home you took away
So doctors can silence each attack
Though who would listen, I cannot say
Ice or stone, whatever I may be
I am broken - there is no me
I attempted suicide the night I wrote this

as you walk on this path
it can be twisted and cruel
we say we are wise
and we all know we act a fool.
it is said everything is set
we have a destiny
God knows and he grows
but he lets us roam free.
but we learn from our journey's
it's the choices you make
being yourself can be complicated
let the flow start to recreate.
the body is just a tool
the soul is a being that's inside
wanting to save itself from it's creator
and to him I only confide.

Trapped in your thoughts
And your brain jumbles when she near
After some time its just you and her
the sunset clashing with the stars
with the spark in the skies you both will lock eyes
and the dangerous game has begun
after a few months the bonds broke
you over think every situation
the trust is gone and your mind will cave in
now she’s gone with your mind re-wired
you try to drink away the pain but it adds to the fire
in-between your hands you feel the spaces
and you can’t get her back you will be replaced then
sitting in the bath tub with a bottle of ***
the stage of loneliness hits whille you stare and the celling
numb from the pain and losing all feelings
so just stare the sky and let your mind clear
this tangled thought
this presence behind everything around you
even in her

nestled into the background static of the mind
its interference is on a basic level
like the screaming ringing in your ears
perceived on all levels of consciousness
you cannot escape it
it is you

you rock ion your chair in primal effort
to release
you pace and worry your hands
smoke incessant
but it shadows your every step
as it attacks your reason
as it delivers blows to your peace

it reaches mortal combat
as you toss and turn
wrestle with the blankets of your once safe bed
motion and thought become sickness
that cannot cease of their own accord

it pervades
like the scents
of death
slow and overpowering

she is yours
and yours alone
this terrible night
and alone you will remain

you took your own life
buried at the crossroad
without comfort
without your head
banished by the good graces
and alone in the forever more

forgive me
please forgive me
A lavender sky unfurls before me
its plumes shifting
     imperceptibly
while the sunrise
     pends at my back.
The delicate white wings
flutter just above the dewey grass revealing
     silently
the city of fairy moths
     welcoming today.
The myths of me and mine
     echo quietly
with the rhythm
     of my hollow heart
as the bruised horizon
brightens blue.
