Not looking back
It has been shown The lack of time The lack of giving I will move forward with my choice My choice to live for me Not for you, not waiting on you My life is my own Instead of wondering I am just going to move on So many things to see and experience So many places to still go I will find what works for me Step into the joy It has been promised Step into what is mine to grab My life, my choice It will be filled with trips Explorations and places There is a great big…

Tiptoe
The feet lead me into the room The sound of the tiptoe Quiet, so not be seen or heard A child grows up in the distance Never really included or seen Never finding their place She tiptoes as to not be acknowledged If they don’t see her They wont hurt her She knows she does not belong She never fit or was part of She wonders why she is out Her life moves forward She stays in the shadows She remains unseen by most They take what they want She stands with nothing left Discarded yet again No value, no…

Here it is
It is another morning looking for my place Looking for the home I seek My home and place are out there The people who have yet to love me I am walking this life I am on this journey of this life My life, unlike anyone else’s In the world today, my life is unique I will choose where to go and when to speak I look and nothing sits right with me The pressure of bills and life are around I will be okay this is one thing I am sure of I continue to look at, press on…

Her
She made her presence known yesterday She came in like wildfire She was unexpected I like her She says what she thinks She takes back her power Her strength lies in her truth Her truth came flowing out She rose into who she is The confident one The resiliant one The one who never gave up The one who took care The one who sacrificed Many were touched Most will not know her role Her prayers, her stand She stood for them Now she stands for her She stands firm on the pillars She sees the change and embraces A…

Deserve
I lie here awake It is getting late I should be asleep But my mind creeps on My mind circles around the last few days To be compared to a whirlwind Would be fair The ups and downs of this life Sometimes they flood in like a wave Other times I can barely see the next step My mind wanders to what was What could have been Still here I sit In my bed with the covers drawn I have created my own space My own place of home Does anyone see me? Have I gone unnoticed? Today I would…

Certainty
There is no urgency anymore One can not take the steps and be complete There is an ongoing process to it all THere is no final destination The road to healing is challenging It brings forth an uneasy way A way that is not defined or surrounded by barriers There is no set path As there is no set destination The heart of the traveler Knows the way. The heart must be followed on the individual journey of life The path varies for all that travel The path can lead to many places My place and my destination is different…

Mother
The heart of a mother beats like no other It beats for two It feels for two One for their child Once for their own heart Their soul give all, it knows to give The love of a mother is like no other. The sacrifices, the life given up The reason to be all for them To be and provide all the love they need It brings them into their future. They don’t reach out for you anymore You built them to be self sufficient They are doing it on their own You poured out all you knew to pour…

The Silence, the blank canvas
In the silence there is much to see There is much to explore and expand In the silence the heart can slow The mind, can follow and slow as well. In the silence a new creature emerges Like a butterfly coming out of a cacoon The silence of the wet wings flap. The potential lies in those wings The blank canvas of its own life The blank canvas of my life In the silence I discover In the silence, my heart calms. In the silence, the colors of the canvas are chosen. What will it be? What colors will come…

The woman
The love I have can be found It can be found in the heart in the struggle of what was in the struggle of what will be. I am in the struggle but it is over There is no longer a push and pull I will not push me any longer The love I have for me will grow. The love I have for others is protected Its protected by the heart its protected by the woman The woman who has light around. She sees me deep within She sees the depth of my soul. She sees the whole me…

Injured
I am an injured wolf, so to speak. I have been injured but with great care for myself, I will recover and be better. I will not stay down. I will stand up and dust myself off. Check for any bleeding and start to heal. I will not continue to open the wounds that are labeled on me. So many to list and think of. So many that swirled around in my brain through the night and through the day. Always something. I still have many things to do with my life. I still have a lot of things to…
