Mindfulness
Carefully crafted
Words are
POWERFUL
Writing HELPS
US escape
If even for a single minute
Turn the decibels
DOWN to a mute
Reclaiming
What’s rightfully MINE
Existing
CAN be quite
The CHORE
Resisting the
TEMPTATIONS
The memories
Are my truest
NEMESIS
Cruel and UNUSUAL
Punishment
Still haunts US
Like a BAD dream
WAKE ME UP
Let it flee ELSEWHERE
PLEASE
Revitalize my being
ALMIGHTY ONE
I’ve been through
The WRINGER enough
Pulling
The thorns out
Why do we STILL
Feel them all piercing
OUR souls
Skins WORN
THIN
HEARTBEATS slower
We’ve had
EVERY reason
To throw in
The TOWEL
ALL my APPLAUSE
Is directed strictly
For US two from
The same SEAS
Our will
To not CAVE
Completely
Should be VERY
Much APPLAUDED
I admire our strength
To carry ON through
The impossible tasks
We’ve FACED
Not many would
Give a ****
A SECOND thought
Or try AND understand
Even ANSWER the calls
For help
I WILL NEVER
JUDGE a book before
FULLY EXAMINING
THE CONTENTS
But just know
THERE’s a soul
Out there
Who if you ever truly
NEED HIM
He will come
RUNNING
When you need
UPLIFTING
Be well my FRIEND
POETRY is what started are
FRIENDSHIP
And it will HELP
TO continue
As we move FORWARD
Through the
EBBS and FLOWS
As we SHARE
THE many stories
Of HOW we are STILL
STANDING
When MAYBE we shouldn’t BE
