Remember me?
It wasn't that long ago, was it?
I was so carefree
I would shine like sunlight
staight through the trees
Dance like a rainbow across
the sky
No fear of, "who am I"
I could be anything
No fences hold me
I will travel the world
I will sing from balconies
I will tackle any mountain
I will swim the 7 seas
I am not gone
I remember me.

End
Empty hollow holes
echo anger, tears & shame
Criticism destroyed all of her true colors that only
bleed to black
Helpless
crushing vices
became her only comfort
sending her to a bitter end

What if I sabotaged everything?
What if my children don't get the life I want for them?
What if the fire doesn't just burn down my space?
What if it spreads & only leaves ashes?
What if war breaks out
& the louder we yell the less comes out?
What if all we have is chaos and nothing else
Quiet minds are no where to be found
this anxiety isn't just in me,
It's flowing through all humanity
Matt 6:33

In frightening situations
Through tears of pain
The anguish of grief
In the pouring rain

As Anne once said,
"Paper has more patience than people"

The strength she knew
more powerful within
More intense than realities
Faith held her hand.

You called
I did not hesitate
We started with
a cracked slate

Neither of us wanted
To end it
Neither of us knew
where we were headed

Confusing as it was
I stumbled
out of love
You tried to get me to wait
Without any effort
on your plate

I said we need to communicate
I wanted forever
You told me friends is better
I told you it's just too late

Here in the corner it's free
Nobody demands
anything of me
No one on the phone
wishing I would come home
No stress
it's just me, and I'm a mess
here in the corner
of a crowded place
locked away
inside my space
I used to feel free
Here I free my angry
Only more sad
giving em hell
still making em mad
Singing out my own voice to myself
Never a glance to anyone else

Tonight wasn't the 1st time it's ever happened to me.
I've always felt that I could change the past, break cycles and break through ceilings.
Thought by now people would feel the same as me.
It seems that some are just too angry.

It's sad to stay as small as your own race.
I thought we had finally made it to where these things didn't take place.

I guess ugly stays, you put yourself in their shoes & repeat the same old school mistakes.
Take the upper hand like it makes you cool, like it makes you better, but it only makes you the same.
