Silence is golden;
Communication matters.
Find some middle ground
Roberta Day Feb 2015
Creature of magnificence
I am ecstatic to see you glow
You’ve been lost in shadows cast
by those you want to know
You are more than what you think
though at times it may seem
your worth is less than zinc,
the final page from a ream
  I know the light is there
I can feel it in your stare
your fingertips move mountains
and quiet fountains of despair
Your words can build temples
  and leave them in ruins
Your mind screams for purpose
while abiding outside influence
  The system is broken
and we are broken too
and we fill our cracks with darkness
but the light always shines through

Above and beyond
you soar, rejuvenating
yourself and others.

My dreams remind me
of what's important and it
is no longer you.
Roberta Day Feb 2015
I'm over trying to satisfy
your insatiable expectations
I'm sorry only because I've
wasted so much of myself
with lying and hallucinations
truth disguised with binding ties
of desperate adoration
now I can see that I was
nothing you could ever want
but you knew not how to tell
Intuition and observation
served me rather well
but doubt is a black lake
an ominous void that
invalidates what I need to
be told so I'm hanging on
to rowing oars and reeling
through frigid cold to be released
back into the unknown known

I
write
for the pleasure
when all that is pent up is
let free
I
write
for cleansing
of the things within
that fracture a heart and cloud a
thought
to
solace
a lone soul that longs for
a home
I
write
for understanding
to forget as much as I can
to forgive as I’m able the wrong that is done
to neutralize hurt before it roots
into hate
I
write
for healing
to touch and be touched
as written words can only do when all else has been used  
and no one comes
through
I
write
to listen
to hear what needs to be
heard
I
write
what I see
because it moves me
and what inspires me might inspire
those who take time to read what I write
I
write
because I must
if I don’t it doesn’t feel right
thus I pen what I feel
as a result of what I am
a writer
so…
I
will write
and
write, 'til
there’s
no

I like tight clothes
for they still hug me
when everyone goes
