I’ve Crawled, I’ve Clawed

Standard

I’ve crawled.
I’ve clawed my way out.
Feel like I’m barely coming up for air.

I’ve screamed so loud in silence.
I’ve begged and pleaded.
Still barely breathing.

And it seems I’m just invisible.
A reflection of nothing there,
A ghost as thin as air.

Wondering if I’ve ever really been or am I just a

Dream.

A figment of my imagination
Or somebody else’s creation.

But I can hear myself breathing.

I

Feel the blood beating through my veins.
Is there any life inside of me?
Does any flicker of light remain?

Prism

Standard

I step out of the shadows

Into the moonlight.

As I gaze into you,

I see the broken

Splinters

Of my heart

Reflected upon your face.

They

Sparkle like sunlight through a

Prism.

I am dancing moon glitter.

Full of color

And light.

My reflection,

In you

I shine so bright.

And at this very moment I see my beauty

As you see me.

As I have never seen myself before.

And here in the moonlight,

Together,

We move to the rhythm

Of a timeless

Song.

The

Stars

And the

Universe

Mingling

With our souls.

All,

Together

Becoming

Infinity.

In Your Eyes

Standard

Sit a moment
And lay your burden down.
Listen.
Look.
Breathe.
See the details.
The small things.
You do not need to search for

Beauty.

You do not need to search for

Peace.

The peace is in you.
You carry it in your soul,
In your heart.
Beauty is in your eyes.
Only you can see as you choose.
When you choose peace and beauty,
Then
There it is.

Caught Up

Standard

You let your worries
And heartache
Carry you away
Into the storm.
I turned and you were gone.
Lost to my reach,
Caught up
In debris
From the past.
Moving too fast
For me
To grasp you.

Where you finally stopped
I don’t know.
I can only hope one day
You will feel whole.
I can only hope your soul
Will remember
Who you were before.
One day.

I See Them

Standard

Now.
I look to the sky and I see them.
I set them free
And I see them.
The stars.
I thought
You stole them from me.
They were only hiding in
My memory.
Too terrified to shine.
Too scared to be seen.
But now they are free.
They are dancing
And they are shining for me.
Through me.
Shining for the world to see.
Now.

Cannot Be Me

Standard

You say sweet things

And you compliment me.

But.

You must be mistaken,

You must misunderstand.

It cannot be me you are directing

Your smile at.

It cannot be me you aim

Your kindness at.

The truth is

I cannot handle a

Compliment.

It goes into my brain,

Clanks around in the walls of my heart

And by the time it comes out the other side

I have completely torn it apart.
