Still trying to find my feet
Hopping skipping running to the beat
The beat that flows
Above the noise
The noise of the world
Threatening poise
Coming and going
Trying to be found
Breathing, stretching
Or turning around
Moving. Not standing
No time to waste
Wasted opportunities
To learn, love and taste
Taste and see
A way to know the truth
Eternal forever
Beyond the foolishness of youth
Swept away by the motion
Dancing in the breeze
Hope for steady stepping
Life the paradoxical tease
Always on the move
No way to cheat
No reason beyond mystery
Still trying to find my feet

One of those quiet days
When no body says a word
When any kind of noise or sound
Seems thoroughly absurd

Each to their own world
No desire to reach out
All on the same team
Yet no cheerleaders faffing about

No, not today
Today the energies are low
Everybody on their own road
Focused on what they know

I won’t say I’m complaining
The quiet can be good
But being a talkative person
Quiet days seem longer than they should

So I’m sitting at my desk
Making the most of a quiet day,
The only sweet way I know how
Writing the day away

Sometimes my soul wants to simply explode
creative energy built up in time
In essence searching for a safe abode
To pour out treasures in this heart of mine
Secrets learned in the lecture room of life
Stories in retrospect often to share
How growth spurts through the hardened ground of strife
Finding inspiration when life's not fair
Mindset determines how we view our world
Perception of glass half empty or half full
When pressures upon my full soul is hurled
On creative outlets i tend to pull
When faced with opportunity or choice
Artistic expression becomes my voice

A pink array of candy floss
across a powder blue sky
A breath of fresh air, smile across my face
I don't even wonder why

Dancing on the inside
the rhythm of the day
Freedom within the Spirit
the melody carries me away

The drum beat of life
the chorus of our hearts
the sweet fragrance of joy in the morning
hope starts. love lasts

Its not in my imagination
its life within my veins
a tangible energy
motivating wind, blowing away pains

Embracing the moment
Into faith, taking a dive
Swimming in the essence of Love
I'm happy to be alive

Bullet proof heart,
That’s  all she knew
She new how to hide
Experience taught her its true.

Explosions of hurt,
Ripped through her heart
Never again she decided
Never again to fall apart.

Because more than just an *****
Pumping blood through her veins
The only heart she had was torn
Only circulating her pains.

“Never again” she thought
Vulnerable’s not safe to be
“A bullet proof heart
Is all that makes sense to me”

Not truly living
Existing behind lock and chain.
With her bullet proof heart
She never loved again.

War often may wage
Within soul be quiet still
Peace, the victors cry.

You look so fine and pretty
Like you’ve got it all together
You sound as though your thoughts are wise
Like you understand the world and weather

And everything in between
There’s so many things that you know
You seem to recognize truth
So beautiful to watch your potential grow

But then you end up with him
The **** who’ll probably break your heart
Manipulates you to get what he wants
But then, you were in denial from the start

Or you end up with another guy
Who cheats and lies and steals
Craving his bad boy attention
You disregard how he makes you feel

You let yourself go
Selling yourself cheap
Give yourself to the feelings of lust
Despite that you’ll end up in a heap

You don’t value who you are
So you let him break you down
Your lessen yourself for the hope of love
Yet love is hardly what you found

Please don’t be a stupid girl
Don’t let him strip you raw
My girl you need to guard your heart
If you want to avoid a downpour

Beautiful girl, I wish you knew
All of us make stupid mistakes
But stupid girls don’t change there ways
So they keep having heart aches.

Beautiful girl that’s who you are
Don’t give up on yourself, not yet
Avoid stupid boys, who rob your destiny
Because that you will certainly regret
