  • Almost there!

    I must be getting close  Maybe I have done something right  Or I have pushed the right string I can smell it — like I’m almost there. I must be getting close  Situations are pushing me to extremes. All of a sudden I’m considering risking it all Like I’m one fatal mistake away. I must…

  • Nobody Understands

    They say they do  Sometimes they listen  Sometimes they’re present  Sometimes it’s soothing  Sometimes I want the distraction.  Does anybody really understand? “Trust me I’ve been there” “I can imagine”  —But can you really?  Nobody understands  And I don’t know that I want them to. Experiences that I cannot share  Realities that their thoughts wouldn’t…

  • My Greatest Asset

    Sometimes I wonder. I know I’m pretty smart & intelligent  Very adaptable to my environment  I own warehouses of common sense  And every once in a while I whip out wisdom  From my hat like a magician I’m pretty calm and peaceful  I have my fair share of troubles  But I’m typically the one calming…

  • Real Thanksgiving!

    Somedays I’m tired, Sometimes I’m sad, Sometimes I’m happy, Sometimes I’m glad. Somedays everything seems to align, Other days things fall apart  Like I’m Chinua writing these lines, And Living was my crime  Somedays I have faith, Somedays I accept my fate. Somedays I’m proud of myself, Somedays I’m utterly disgusted.  Somedays I know the…

  • A Lot!

    A lot of things I want to tell you  Still a lot of things I have to do  Stack of other things I’m yet to do. Help me come to you consistently  Before it all becomes overwhelming  I’m here writing  Not sure if I’m doing the right thing  But it’s better than doing nothing  And…

  • You!

    You’re the one that shows me my future, You’re the one that can change my past  You’re the one that’s understands my present  And you lead me into your presence. You take hold of my fears  You’ve carried away all my anxieties  You seized my worries  You say they are no longer mine. Your word…

  • End of Myself

    By myself I’m too lazy to be Important  I’m too inconsistent to be useful  I’m too selfish to be Kind I’m unfaithful and not to be trusted I’m too dependent On people and validation  I act cowardly & then complain  I avoid responsibility & ready to push the blame I’m just a fine face with…

  • Rest (Pt 2)

    My Spirit is longing  My soul seems downcast My eyes searching for distractions  And my body is tired. I sense I need Rest  But I don’t seem to get them in my sleep  And when I wake up There seems to be always something to do. Mentally fatigued  My routines seems to have given up…

  • Nothing to Prove

    This was a tough lesson to learn  I love a good challenge by nature  My ego takes pride in everything I’ve earned  Fantasizing on words I’ll use in the future! I struck Gold when I found You But I found that you’re worth more than Gold. I tried to explain my decision to follow you,…

  • Silos

    Isolation caught me once again  I’m too vulnerable alone  I’m fragile & weak on my own  Every-time I’m alone I fall So many people around me  Yet I feel so lonely  Too many burdens  I feel no one would understand  I don’t want to be judged  I don’t want you to loose hope So I…
