The person of your dreams
turned out to be a sad reminder
that nightmares are still just that
Dreams
It’s time to wake up

It’s raining today
My mind- peaceful, calm, quiet
It’s raining again tomorrow
And for that, I am happy.
It was supposed to be a Haiku but I felt it needed a bit more to it.
Would love any and all feedback

A quick wipe of her face
Evidence of the stream
Now gone
A deep breath and a few sniffles
Clearing herself up before going back
To Them
Have to remain strong for them
Put the veil over her tiredness
Camouflage her hurt
The distress and heartaches are abundant
Yet for them
It is of no issue
She’d continue to show face
Give her very last breath
All for them
Their happiness, smiles
The very sound of their laughter
Yea...that’s all that matters to her
All that makes sense in her world
All that ever would
So
.
.
.
Deep breath, few sniffles
Clear face
The little loves of her life awaits
An ode of sorts to moms. You have one of the hardest occupations known to man.

So many times broken
So many times you’ve picked up the pieces
Big at first, easy to put back together
Like a puzzle
But have you noticed it yet?
The more it breaks, the more pieces you have
Pieces you don’t have
Some won’t fit
Into the puzzle that which your heart is not meant to be
Some pieces wanting to remain hidden
For fear of losing more of itself should you put it all together again.
It can only take so much
Breaking and mending
Breaking and mending
Breaking and mending
YOU can only take so much

Your heart is not meant to be a puzzle

It's oddly quiet in there today
Normally they're up wreaking havoc by now
Gears in full motion
What's really going on

What am I saying
Am I really questioning it
Who doesn't enjoy the inner stillness
That breath of fresh air

The wheels aren't constantly turning
Things that matter, those that don't
Cares and fears-all silent
The wheels aren't constantly turning

The rage, often wanting to burst
Quiet
Have the little people deserted me
Should I be worried


Happy
OK

OK
You say that you're that you're going through a lot right now
That's why you forget about me for weeks on end
Months

You know what I wanted for my birthday this year
For you to REMEMBER me long enough to say
Happy Birthday Ma
The four years we've been with each other you never
REMEMBER me

Out of being "supportive" of you and the
"**** that you're going through"
I kept quiet about the **** that I'm going through
Fed up I tell you

Sister, nephew, and now aunt testing positive
Missing brother for months, now on live
Cutting himself
ME hurting away from my family unable to be with them

"OK "
That's all I got from you
Hurt is what I get
And so
The end of us is what we get from each other

To the person that came up
with working 5 days a
week and only getting 2 off

ya mom's a ***
I know I'm not the only person that wants to go back in time and throw hands with the person that did this to us lol

******* and your
“Apology”
That **** means nothing
YOU mean nothing
I spilled myself to you
And “Ok” is what I got in return
******* and your
“Apology”
It’s too late for all that
Your true colors
Came out in full brightness
Once beautiful tones and hues
Now I find them all to be
UGLY AS ****
YOU
are UGLY AS ****
******* and your
Sorry sob ***
“Apology”
*****

I’m hurting
I’m grieving
I need you
Please see me
I’m yelling at you
Screaming
Tired and exhausted
I’m alone
Even in your presence
I’m alone
That’s not how it’s supposed to be
Save us before it’s too late
Hmmmm 🤔

So much confusion
my ears ringing, head pounding
I hope it stops soon
