They’ve Fallen

Standard

Take a look around and what do you see?
People running around like crazy
Too busy to see

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People self absorbed
Caught in their crazy lives.
Why can’t they open up
Their eyes
And see?

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People keeping their eyes
On the prize
Instead of what’s inside
Never taking the time
To see

Someone’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People gathering so much stuff
And there never seems to be enough.
Their hands too full
To reach out and help

Someone that’s fallen.
And they’re falling.
They keep falling
Down.

People’s souls cold as ice

Always trying to grab a slice
Of what’s in other people’s possession
So they fail to
Understand

How someone could have fallen.
And they are falling,
They find themselves falling.
And then they look around and see
Nobody cares

That they, themselves, have  fallen.

Voices

Standard

Bleeding dry.

My sanity remains.
At least that’s
What I think.
If you come close
Enough you
Can here
The voices
Debating
In my brain.
In whispers
Only souls
Can hear.
Only if you care
To
Come near,
If you are bold
Enough.
I can’t promise
I’ll behave.

Hanging

Standard

What does hanging on to
Hate and anger serve?
Only the darkness.
Only the destruction of self.
The weight of the darkness will only
Burden you
And keep you suspended
In continual unrest.

It will trap you.

Hate and anger only serve themselves

And will find extreme satisfaction

 In your

Perpetual
Inner mayhem.

Walk in love, compassion and forgiveness.

It is the only way to move forward.

Learning

Standard

I am slowly
Learning to have compassion for the girl

That believed she had no voice.

The girl that was afraid to shine
Or make a sound.
Who had been beaten down.

Who had almost disappeared from

Existence.

She will always be a part of me.
She was not weak.
After all
She carried me on her own.
On every twist and turn.
Up
Mountains and through valleys
Alone,
She carried me.
She pulled me up off my knees.
She dug me out of the shadows

And pushed me

Into the light.
Lifted my gaze up to life.
Through sun and storms.
Through my entire life.
She carried me.
Now it’s my turn to
Carry her.
To love her and I realize what I thought

Were her weaknesses,

Led to my strengths.
