life isn't about being perfect
it's about taking your circumstances
whether good or bad
and growing from them
because we have all had our bumps in the road
but if we didn't go over those bumps
we would not be the people we are today.
Live, learn, & grow.

something stronger than ****
is all that I need
to get myself to open up
that part of me, which
until now has always been
shut..

somewhere there's a place I belong
a house down a long road
with the person who
brings me peace
when all I am is
chaos.
well worn or off the beaten path?

she lives in basement
flicking paint on white canvas
listening to opera
wearing a long worn jumper
and Jesus sandals.
Her grey straggly hair
like a cloudy day
and her toffy voice
lingered softly after each word.
Her two daughters
adopted or kidnapped
yet both the image
of there sweet mother.
One glimpse of this lady
and my mind as already
made accusations
and I don't even know her.
Funny how sometimes  when u first meet someone u hardly know , the mind as already made up its mind x
spur of the moment write was inspired yesterday after a brief moment with a lady x
Life is a game
Of hide and go seek
Its not yet time
For you to peek

You must go hide
And try not to be found
You can not wish to
Have ever died

That is one piece to hide
You can not long after blood
Hide that too

But most of all
Remember this
You must simply hide all of you
Paint up a fake and trick them all
And watch as they fall
For the fake
And now you feel safe
But look at them laughing
And all having a blast
Guilt overwhelms
So you crawl out of hiding
And want to help seek
But the weather outside is hot
And you notice they are not
What they at first appear
For there paint is running
And soon so are you
But you leave your fake laughing
Just in case
It was only sweat you saw
But you have to be careful
Because this is hide and seek
And you never know
Exactly how much to show
So again you hide
And curl around yourself
Because while the one who looks like you
Is out having fun
And is enjoying the company
Of many different people
You have never been more alone.

She had a family
She had a stained glass window that looked over the garden that she painted
She had a son
He went to soccer on saturdays
His friend always slept over when they won
Her husband helped her in the kitchen and did the dishes
Her husband took her had one of her paintings on her desk
She's been trying to paint this one flower just right for months now
She wanted to get her master's
She was applying to online schools, they kept sending her mail
Her email inbox started sending out an automatic message
I didn't know her
But her dog is waiting by the front door
He will be waiting a very long time
And they forgot to pick her son up from school
Her friends didn't know what to say
Book club sat in silence until someone closed up and walked out
Can you see where this is going?
I paint, too! My Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LydiasPaint

I'm drifting
through my dreams,
occasionally colliding
with a hint of certainty.
I'm higher than I seem,
fighting the concept
of reality as a means.
I'm lost in the sky.
I can't remember why,
but life is just easier
when I get a little high.
