Strong

Standard

There are lists people make,

All of these qualities and qualifications

That define

What makes a “strong” person.

I laugh at those words,

If you wake every morning and live

And that is all you feel you have the strength to do,

You are strong.

Period.

We are each strong in our big, beautiful,

Human way.

Them

Standard

When one least expects

Along comes the soul,

The one who simply loves you

And your human ways.

Limbo.

You have been afraid to even spill milk

Because the world did almost end once;

Unseen bullet holes.

Unseen scars that seeped into bone.

But that was then

And that was them,

This is now

And they are gone.

Bit By Bit

Standard

It has been painful to dig out

All

The veins of the abuse

In her body,

Mind and heart

For it is in her skin,

Her bones and breath;

The self loathing and unworthiness.

But

The cracks,

The light is getting out now

Slowly but surely

And

Bit by bit

She is allowing love return

In once more.

Illumination.

In between

Standard

And all of the sudden you came to mind

And my throat swelled

And my heart beat stronger.

I wanted to weep,

As if today was the day

We last spoke.

I sat with you in the forefront of my my mind for a while

And held you there, so grateful for the memories.

In time i tucked you back behind my ribcage

And left you with my soul

Where we reside in between time.

I once again turn up the music and dance.
