Transparency... yes, no, maybe
Like an open book
Yes, that's me!
Love me or hate me
wish everyone would just say what they mean
Hard to keep faith, when the truth can't be forseen
From now on I'm going to say it like it is,
Or not say it at all, "It is what it is?!"
Only say if it will help??
Otherwise, it's not good for your health
by health I mean sanity
There is such a thing as brutal honesty

Sometimes the truth hurts but lies can consume you
Your heart, your mind, your soul
Stay honest to yourself and your heart will be full
you will not feel as if things are out of control

Sometimes the consequences can't be seen
But it's hard when you really want to say something
and holding it in doesn't feel right
Sometimes it's simply not worth the fight

Perception, it's a funny thing
some say honest, some say mean
I say be true to your heart and the rest will fall into place
Sometimes it's the "long game", slow down, it's not a race

This one was written the summer of 2018 I believe.  I wish more people would be transparent.  I think it would make life a whole lot easier!

Miss You Buddy

No sunset in this park today.
But of course not, for today is your birthday.
Everywhere I look, all I see is grey!

The Angels are weeping so we don’t have to; that’s not what you would want.
You would want us to share our memories and trust me I have 4 pages front and back,
AT LEAST!

You were taken too soon, no time to adapt
So unexpected and you were the happiest I’d seen you
With Ivan home and Emil good, and Jackson to fill the dull moments
“Action Jackson”, that’s what you called him
And so did my Papa Dale

You loved that he loved music,
You wanted to teach him to play catch.
You were making progress, taking steps

I miss your loyal, honest and witty ***
Oh,and I started studying numerology!
You’ll never guess your number!
#1
But I’m sure that comes as no surprise
You would have loved it!!!

Hope you are up there watching baseball, drinking beer, listening to music,
and telling stories about your family
with your old military pals!
I miss you dear friend
I miss your home, it was my 2nd
No judgement ever
We all had our ****,
Different days, different times
But we rallied together to help, and have a good time
You and I never fought except maybe for a second
We playfully fought about baseball
You were a die hard Cubs fan,
and I was team Cards!

You were getting back on track,
on your way to work
No way is that fair
I miss you dear friend
Your stories, your humor
You making fun of Blair slickly,
us laughing til we cried
I miss your heart, you’re real, you’re true
FAMILY WAS EVERYTHING
and the rest, music, military, beer,
baseball, laughing, and Laura
You were a simple man
You knew exactly who you were at all times
That I always admired
You thought you knew it all; you probably did!
I miss kicking back people watching on the front porch or music in the garage!

Miss your stories, your humor, your strong will
And that 2nd place I thought of as home.

Loved your dad when he was here and loved both Emil and Ivan instantly upon meeting
I hope your kids know if they need anything, to call
You stepped up for Jackson,
That really says it all!

I miss you buddy, til next time...
I raise this beer
One of my best friends passed away too soon, and I wrote this poem for him on his birthday

So the other night was one of the hardest of my life
We told Karissa I would no longer be daddy's wife

She learned he is moving out and will have a new home
She cried and said she wanted to live with us both until she was grown

All three of us were crying,
And on the inside I know Jeff and Karissa were dying

He was crying so hard he couldn't even talk,
She had a lot of questions I had to answer, and surprisingly acted in shock...

She cried and said she wasn't gonna let go of him, so he couldn't go
That was really ******* me and Jeff too, this I know!

Then he tucked her in bed and she said she'd be mad if he wasn't home in the morning
But he left anyway, didn't listen to her warning

Then I heard some sniffling and thought he was still downstairs
At this point, I knew it didn't have anything to do with the affair

I figured out it was Karissa crying in her bed
So I let her sleep with me and talked to her and rubbed her head

She seems to be taking it a little better now
She knows we both love her and always will; this we vow

I'm gonna try my best to be his friend
And work through everything that we need to mend

It will make things a lot easier for everyone involved
Especially if all of our issues get resolved

I'm gonna try my best to stay his friend
And work through everything we need to mend

Well it's taken a LONG time but I have finally forgiven myself.  Friends never happened really because of the guilt I would say, maybe someday?!

Karma is one of my best friends now
I got it tattooed on my ankle and was like OW...

But Karma is a cool word, and as far as people go, one of the BEST!
She would pass Life if it was a TEST!

It amazes me that other people can't see this...

I guess it took me a while to give her a chance too
A "mutual friend" tried to tell me, but for some reason I didn't think it was true

The cool thing about her is she doesn't judge anyone;
she sees the good in others and does not run!

Which is amazing because everyone tried to JUDGE her
She's one of the best people I've even met and if you met her, you would conquer!!!

I am actually LIVID right now
She didn't want to be friends,
She didn't want to date again!

She wanted me to be the OTHER woman

What the **** is wrong with me?
I wanted to hang out as friends,
but kinda throws that off when you get sent a ****

Congratulations, you lost weight
that never mattered to me then,
so why would you be convinced it would make a difference either way now?!

That's just rude
seriously

"Kristy, this didn't happen until after we made plans"
Well, I guarantee you I was not that important in the first place,
then or now
you stupid, psychotic, abusive *****

Be Real, Can you? Do you know how?  Lose my #

??!
Not a poem

◦ One of my exes wants to hang out tomorrow and I’m torn because I would love to hang out as friends but I’m afraid she wants more. We were in a toxic relationship several years ago and she was physically abusive and if I’m being honest I was probably verbally abusive at times. Ok, definitely. We both seem the same, but different. She says karma is a ***** because she just got out of a very abusive relationship and she has scars to prove it. Then she said, oh yeah how’s your friend KARMA doing? Karma is a *****, and also my best friend! If you **** w me she will knock you on your ***!
Looking for advice here. Is that allowed? I’m not sure, I’m new!

At first I thought you broke me
it took me a long time to see that you actually made me STRONGER 💪

I had to go without something I wanted so badly
That something, someone was you

I can be a spoiled brat at times;
ok, usually!
Because I am used to getting my way

I always go back to this
“There is a thin line between love and hate and I cannot find in between cuz I’ve been with witches and I’ve been w the queen!” (Someone please tell me what song that is from!)

You’re my Queen 👸
Guess you always will be

I don’t know what it is with you, but I will be a grown up for a change and accept that you don’t like me like that.
Hell, you don’t like me enough to try to be my friend.
So for me today this is the end! I need to stay away; I’m tired of the games

RIP MY QUEEN
until next chapter

Could be today, next week or 10 more years, who knows?! Not I said the mind!


You’re right “in between” would probably  end up in between the sheets.  
Im gonna go another direction, be smart for a change!
The love of my life or maybe not?!
