Reality paints itself
with the color palette
of our souls.

never be too quick to love
it'll make you feel really dumb.
one of the hardest drugs to recuperate from,
likely to leave you numb.
lost and confused
your heart will completely feel
broken and bruised.

I tied myself on to you
thought we were connected
jumped off a cliff too soon though
now I'm all conflicted
nothing caught the rope,
why didn't I test it...

My old friend

.

I found the sun
in a peppermint sky
wrapped in tin foil laughs,
it was wandering by

It looked down at me
and it noticed my frown
painted just like a smile
but it sat upside down

It called me by name
and it asked "why so blue,
when you know that dark green
is my favorite too"

I made an excuse
out of lily pad streams,
telling him I was fine,
but I know how it seems

Then he pointed a ray
that fell bright on my heart,
telling me that the truth
was a great place to start

"Ok, I will tell you
but listen quite clear
I am walking alone
because she isn't here"

He then turned to a page
in his sun dial book
and said, "She's right behind you,
go on take a look"

I spun and I saw her,
her beauty now shone
Like my friend overhead,
I was not all alone

"She loves you," he whispered
so soft on a beam
I hugged her and kissed her,
it felt like a dream

We sat on a hill
and looked over the land
and I somehow believed
this was part of his plan

We watched as he moved
like a gem through the skies,
and bid him farewell
till tomorrow's sunrise

Then promised each other
we would always be one,
whether cloudy or rainy
or beneath the sun

Still I miss my old friend,
as this day turns to night
But I'm here with my love
and my whole world is bright

She looks in the mirror
At the age on her face
"I wonder what he thinks
of me this way?"

She considers her weight
and the pores on her skin
She thinks out loud
"I don't deserve him."

She picks apart
the woman he loves
Separating her worth
from all that she does
              
He looks in her eyes
and caresses her face
He sees it glowing with love
and full of grace

 The lines on her face
  he views with pride
  Recounting the victories
  each time they've been tried

The weight that she carries
 is that of a mom
 Nothing's too heavy
 She just marches on

These bodies will perish
 and mirrors offer no truth
True love abides
 beyond the corridors of youth

  No, she doesn't deserve me
  Perhaps God can see
  Conceivably, one day
  I'll be as worthy as she
to the mother of my children. Happy Mother's Day!

I cannot lie,
I cannot hide,
I cannot keep,
This trauma inside,

I will break the stigma,
I will break the walls,
I will break the boundaries,
Hiding us all,

I will fight the cause,
I will fight in name,
To prevent others suffering,
Exactly the same,

I vow i'll recover,
I vow I will speak,
To show the world,
Our minds are not weak.

Please, take life slow, because we never know.
Be patient, but be brave, and find your mindset and yourself to continue to be Intelligent.

She whispers songs into the darkness
Wondering if he can hear her
She searches in the moon light
But she can only see her broken
Reflection in the mirror.

He screams poetry at the mid-day sun
Dreaming of what's in the unknown
He searches in the day light
But he can only see into a future
Where he's all alone.

They speak into a desperate wind
Hoping to find each other before they fade away
They search in the endless eternity
But they can only see the pain
Lasting all their days.
