#regain - Hello Poetry

Me ‘n my cane, They don’t quite have the same brain… One goes this way and the other goes that, It’s as if they are having an ongoing spat. It wiggles and wobbles when I wish it would just stay still. My cautiously-taken strides give me just the right amount of thrill. Too bad you can’t flex and point like you did back in the day... Fractured bones and angry tendons veto summertimes’ play... Wishing and longing won’t make it so... Hiding tears under smiles dontcha know... Encouraging and supportive hearts deliver heaps of healing energy. You too, can make it, Just one more step—another notch on your journey. In darkest moments of pain or despair, Soothe your sweet soul—take a breath, drink in some cool, fresh air. Trade the half-empties for the half-fulls’ comforting song, You matter, you can do it, in case you didn’t know it, you could—all along. What was lost can sometimes be re-gained. Your stitches, your scars; measured superficially by others’ esteem, Puttin’ one foot in front of the other, Where oh where, is that significant other? Spittin’ fire one minute and doom and gloom the next, Just overtime… Can pass this test!

Me n My Cane

Me ‘n my cane, They don’t quite have the same brain… One goes this way and the other goes that, It’s as if they are having an ongoing spat. It wiggles and wobbles when I wish it would just stay still. My cautiously-taken strides give me just the right amount of thrill. Too bad you can’t flex and point like you did back in the day... Fractured bones and angry tendons veto summertimes’ play... Wishing and longing won’t make it so... Hiding tears under smiles dontcha know... Encouraging and supportive hearts deliver heaps of healing energy. You too, can make it, Just one more step—another notch on your journey. In darkest moments of pain or despair, Soothe your sweet soul—take a breath, drink in some cool, fresh air. Trade the half-empties for the half-fulls’ comforting song, You matter, you can do it, in case you didn’t know it, you could—all along. What was lost can sometimes be re-gained. Your stitches, your scars; measured superficially by others’ esteem, Puttin’ one foot in front of the other, Where oh where, is that significant other? Spittin’ fire one minute and doom and gloom the next, Just overtime… Can pass this test!

Regain control, as a captain taming the sea, Steering through storms towards serenity. This tempest, fierce and wild, shall let loose its hold, Releasing you from chains, stories untold. And winds subside, and skies unfold, Know that within your spirit, courage takes hold.

Balance

Regain control, as a captain taming the sea, Steering through storms towards serenity. This tempest, fierce and wild, shall let loose its hold, Releasing you from chains, stories untold. And winds subside, and skies unfold, Know that within your spirit, courage takes hold.

It feels like particles are peeling apart Connecting Separating as they please There is undeniable space growing in my heart Observable to who peeks and sees Fate to blame I have no doubt Touching tears that won't mend Beneath skin circuits start to short-out Barriers between emotions blur and blend Real is rare so bare all imperfections Fake the majority of what others share Everywhere I go is overdissection Judgement is blatantly unfair Which only adds to distress Taken without one sound Cork up inconvenient emotions unless They overflow Then I'm drowned You cannot imagine what it's like Kills self-esteem to reflect Each time negativity strikes Is impossible to correct Bottle after bottle emerges emptied Sink in a sea of distraction Forever smoky air will not recede Chilly dreams prevent satisfaction None of our dreams visible anymore What are we doing wrong? Many bad decisions Too many to ignore I guess failure's where we belong We will never be proud living like this We are in darkness's constant shadow Sins overtake any chance we have at bliss Dragging troubles in tow Trust we will be able to grow Takes years to heal wounds deep Bridges over teardrops that flow Seconds wasted we could not keep To conclude Retain a sliver of hope Though happiness may be lost I build and maintain ways to cope Stay warm amidst the permanent frost

Blurred Barriers Bending

It feels like particles are peeling apart Connecting Separating as they please There is undeniable space growing in my heart Observable to who peeks and sees Fate to blame I have no doubt Touching tears that won't mend Beneath skin circuits start to short-out Barriers between emotions blur and blend Real is rare so bare all imperfections Fake the majority of what others share Everywhere I go is overdissection Judgement is blatantly unfair Which only adds to distress Taken without one sound Cork up inconvenient emotions unless They overflow Then I'm drowned You cannot imagine what it's like Kills self-esteem to reflect Each time negativity strikes Is impossible to correct Bottle after bottle emerges emptied Sink in a sea of distraction Forever smoky air will not recede Chilly dreams prevent satisfaction None of our dreams visible anymore What are we doing wrong? Many bad decisions Too many to ignore I guess failure's where we belong We will never be proud living like this We are in darkness's constant shadow Sins overtake any chance we have at bliss Dragging troubles in tow Trust we will be able to grow Takes years to heal wounds deep Bridges over teardrops that flow Seconds wasted we could not keep To conclude Retain a sliver of hope Though happiness may be lost I build and maintain ways to cope Stay warm amidst the permanent frost

A place I find in the depths of my mind It sits and ponders waiting for its time To show the world it can really be True happiness for all to see Smiling towards every morning Shining brightly the suns in my eyes I can’t help but love this day It’s a feeling I never want to go away Poetry it speaks to the soul Little words and conundrums that are told Everyone’s peace and true feelings spoken Feel my poetry like a token Of gratitude I’m giving to you for listening I’ve never been happy for this long and it’s quite a blissful feeling

Your power is limitless. It threatens the insecure exposing what they are not. They come at you with hatred. That hostility is theirs to hold and carry not yours. To hell with all the haters. Rise and regain your power.

Those dark cold nights The ones I held so dear They dissipate as ends prove near I was always blind I fled from the silence I ran to false profits Those who gave me solace A woman of straightedge Narrowed by the path Now holding fire breath in the wrath Lost in the found I am poison Fleeting through time The hours conclude The rasping grind Run to the roses For the thrones pierced your eyes Darling of nature Watch as all lies With two eyes absent the third appears

I am the one to give you the stars When you have the skies. I am the one who will watch you sleep And feel the miracle when you breathe. I am the one who will block fire In your obnoxious world. I am the one to give you flowers Even if you have bounty gardens. I am the one who will make you happy Even if you don't need me to. I am the one who's willing to pain herself & others for your happiness. I am the one to see the pain in your eyes And hate myself for it. I am the one who caused them to you Then vow to ease the pain. I am the one who will dedicate herself To your happiness Until the last day Comes.

Moved by the guiding hands of the wind, While avoiding the living room box's trend. Although fixate with this generation's iPad, Or impulse to explore the Xbox's dungeon, And glimpse the pages of the Forbe, the Facebook, and the likes. Make time to be in the moment of solace, A time to dream to explore ideals, Like floating in nebula avoiding the all powerful black hole. Navigating the void of the sense of inner torment, Or charting the boundries of the next voyages of personal task. One does need to depart from disparity of news, Or lose sense of humanity by deprived reality TV, For satirical movies like Idiocracy prophesied seem realized. One does need to regroup in personal cocoon, Meld by the silent melodies of beating chest, Like metronome syncing the keys of the piano to Bach, While breathing upon the horizon of rebirth, And find your enshrouded foggy path by beacon of self enlightenment.
