I went out to find
Some value in me,
So I sold what I had
For little a fee.

My eyes for a penny
I sold to some fools,
They're blind and useless,
Mistook for jewels.

My lips for a nickel
To the sweetest sin,
So they'll know the love
That has never been.

My ears for a dime
I sold to a lover.
To hear sweet nothings,
And silence uncover.

My hands for a quarter
I sold to a ghost,
So that she might feel
What I've wanted the most.

Finally my bones for a dollar
I sold to the earth,
But as for my soul-
There was found no worth.

Realistically You can’t hide when your
emotional enemy resides inside
Your actions you ,can no longer abide

Your soul Haunted to the core
Satan always knows the score
Prey for repentance once more

Proverbial Time heals the soul
yet guilt ridden emotions take their toll.
This storm working to your end goal

Our staggering resilience to live.
Gradually, we learn to forgive
The alternative world drain like a sieve

Survival demands a yearning to grow
Which facilitates a learning to let go.
On the other side a better life you’ll know

In your minds eye , Emotions can’t hide,
You’re just a smile away, on the other side
Let your morals conscious be your guide

Make peace
With yourself
Make peace
With the world
You live in

In your community
That you live in
Make peace
With your loved ones

I've lost direction of my boat
Too many winds
Pushing and pulling me
In uneven and choppy waters
So fiercely
So frequently
They have left me scrambled
I don't know the path anymore
And so
I float

Strange, isn't it?

The way we mourn those
Still living...
I miss you.

How do you
Forgive yourself
For all the
Things that
You never
Became?

you never know how much
you truly suffer

until you’ve caused your
own sufferings
