Untrusting

Posted on by

After years

Of feeling

Battered and bruised,

Tired and used

She reentered the world.

Uneasy.

Hesitating with every breath.

Shaking with every step.

A little bit at a time.

Her eyes were so untrusting

For she knew what you see is very rarely,

If ever,

What you get.

Behind every smile

There might lie

A very darkened heart.

Self doubt filled her mind.

For she knew the sky was blue

But since she could remember,

She was told otherwise.

To the point where she did not believe

Her own eyes

Anymore.

Her gut in knots,

Never knowing when she might get caught in a moment of happiness

Just to have it stolen.

There she stood,

Head held high

Ready to give the world

Another try.

It Starts With One

Posted on by

It starts with one mind.

It starts with one heart.

To become love

And let go of anger.

And there the one shares with

Another.

Let go of judgements of strangers.

Then the two become the four

And exponentially

We let go.

Embrace anew

As love recognizes hate

No more.

Alter the tide.

What becomes reality for one

Becomes the reality

For

The Sum.

….

Let not your eyes deceive you

As you look in the mirror.

The blood that we shed

Is no other color

But red.

Definitions

Love,

Breathe

And be.

Open your heart.

Open your mind.

Open your eyes.

Drop the definitions.

Knock down the fences.

Obliterate the walls.

You are in your own way.

You have constrained your mind,

Your heart.

And wrapped yourself

So tight in definitions,

You cannot breathe.

This barricade you have built

Has left you with nowhere to go and

Nothing new to see.

Now,

You have limited your own vision.

Let It Out

Posted on by

The struggle in your the heart
The battle in your the mind.
To let it all out
Or keep it Inside.

Afraid that those you love might
Walk away.
Afraid of those you trust,
Of what they might
Say.

But all you have inside,
Is too beautiful not to share.
There are many who feel the same

Way,
There are many who truly care.

To see the the colors you
Paint.
To hear the music of your heart.
To feel the treasures you create.
To be touched by the rhyme
And verse of your soul.

The whole of you.
The beauty dancing inside.

Demons

Posted on by

Today is a day

Of battling demons.

They wait quietly

For the opportune moment.

The moment my guard is down

And my heart is open.

They,

With their steely

Black appendages.

Slowly creeping undetected.

Slithering

Into dark spaces.

With one abrupt move

They wrap their thorny tendrils

Around my heart.

My mind.

My spirit.

And drag me down into

Unfathomable depths.

The voices outnumbering me.

Outwitting me,

Until I become the silent one.

Choking on their insanity.
