If you are grieving,may wonderful memories sustain you
If you made a mistake or bad judgment call
May you learn,grow and stay the course of your journey
If you are hurt or heart broken,
Heal and know what goes around comes around
Insulating more does you absolutely no good
Leave it alone
If you can stay strong,loving and caring
If that is all there
Then that is more than enough

She said, “I don’t like talking about my feelings. My feelings are as fleeting as the season of summer”.

I told her, ”I never had a problem ever talking about the sun and temperamental weather”.

She said, “I don’t like talking about emotions. My emotions are as dry as autumn leaves”.

I told her, ”I never had a problem with a blowing wind or whirling breeze”.

She said, “I don’t like talking about my fears. My fears are a looming dark sky for a winter storm”.

I told her, “I never had a problem finding shelter and a place to keep her warm”.

I smiled and said, “Let’s just walk and talk about spring”.

…she left me there planting seeds.

while all along, I never had a problem picking her flowers away from the weeds.

Once upon a time
I wanted to be a writer
I wrote and rewrote
All the things I had inside my mind
But it was never good enough

Then the colors got shattered
And red dripped from everywhere
I thought it was ironic
Words flood on the pages
After, and only after
I felt like there was nothing inside to give

- I got the writing and gave all else in exchange

Life. What is life?
What is life,
when I am constantly running in circles,

What is life
When the meaning of love gets lost?

What is life when you feel like everyone’s telling you what to do,
And You feel powerless,

What is life when you sit in front of a computer,
Typing out your feelings,
Because no one will hear,

But they will suggest,
Not realizing that their suggestions make the eyes heavy,
And the heart heavier,
And the conscience the heaviest

Blah blah blah
Motivation this
Motivation that
Papa black sheep
Have you gone mad
Yes sir yes sir -  I fall for all suedo helpers.

Sadness became a part of me
taking everything I know
making it all gray
That's what I am

Trying to think of a new way to live
falling into old traps
spitting fire on my old life
trying to forget how to go back

Looking for a way to love
find a way to pick myself back up
gray isn't all I was meant to be
