Everyone needs to know
That they are loved
And that they belong
To some small space
On Earth

Everyone needs to feel
Like they’re life purpose
Fits in
To a larger
Plan

Everyone moves forward
On their life
Path
Knowing
And feeling
And living
Like they
For just a moment
Are as important
As the next

Everyone is part of a larger plan
Of existence
And
None of us
Knows
That
Plan
Shamai Jul 2020
Sometimes we meet someone
And wonder
How to connect
And what to say
We want to please
And be thought of
As a good person
And yet
How does one get to know another
Until they have shared
What is important to them
How does one make friends
With someone new
For me
I just want
To be me
And for you
To
Just be
You

I am not the only one
Who has gone through
Extreme abuse
I write
For us all
So all who have lived this
Can know
That there is life
After
Death

I know I have a right
To be alive
I cry to the Universe
I have a right
A God given right
To be alive
I’ve earned that right
By
Staying alive
Through all the abuse
And
Unwantedness
And now
I have to
Scream to the Universe
To allow me
To live

Alive
Living life
I wonder what it feels like
To be
Actually be
Alive
I try
Lord knows I try
And still
It’s a struggle
To be
Alive
Shamai Jun 2020
Living a life
Of not feeling
And having problems
Attaching to life
And those around me
All that abuse
That kept me
From being myself
And now
Sometimes
I float
Have trouble keeping
My feet on the ground
So many years
So much time
So far away from the abuse
And yet
I’m still
In it
Shamai Jun 2020
I’m in the air
Floating
Feet not on the ground
Wondering where I am
I’m floating
Not feeling
Not aware of where I’ve been
Or where
I’m meant to be
Just floating
Floating
Floating
