weeds

Dreams can only take flight
When you lessen the load
The choice is yours
Walk or run down your road

Make it your own
No one can take that from you
Let the heart lead the way
Only then can you know truth

Be. Love. Become.
Fear not what others will doubt
Find what you love
And for that be about.

Let the flowers grow
Extract the weeds
Whether it be something or one
Make sure your dreams they will meet

Surround yourself with those
Who see your heart in place
Never let them distract you
From the route you must race

greener on the other side

Her heart is unsettled
Her mind, entrapped
Her gaze constantly swaying
This way and that

“I think it’s greener on that grass
The sun, brighter
The sky, more clear
Success within grasp”

Discontent in her eyes
She’s sick of herself
Unfortunate she cries
She is still she
When will she realize
Life is a choice
To be happy or not to be

You can fly away
As far from west to east
Nothing will change
Until you embrace peace
Embrace with soul, mind and heart
Do not deny yourself
The very person you are
Capture the truth
Create the life you wish to lead

Until you are happy with who you are
Right now and here
You will always be chasing
Due to your fear
Fear of yourself
Fear of the truth
Fear to embrace
The real you

last breath

In and out.
Without a doubt
The hardest thing I’ll ever do
With bated breath
I watch his chest
Rise and fall by light of moon
Least of all desired place
To watch one’s father end his race
A man who never cursed his maker
With faith so strong could not be shaken
Heart and soul he poured into life
Passion unfaded by greatest strife
As he finished this road and on to the next
He thanked the Lord for the great life he had led
He mumbled his love to his daughter with pride
And with one last breath, he lay this life aside.

Insomniac

Day turns to night
I drown in my sorrows
I cannot wait
One more sleep til tomorrow
‘Cept I probably won’t sleep
I’ll just lay in my sheets
Eyes are wide open
I can’t hold them tight
They’re fighting the ‘what if’s’
That float through my mind
Dark turns to day
My mind is lost on me
I can’t wait til night
Let the silence surround me
I can’t take the noise
Stop breathing so still
We all make the choice
Kill or be killed
Dear insomnia,
I think we’re even now
You’ve had the best of me
Can’t think of nothin’ else
Twenty odd year in the making
I give give, you keep taking
Alright you win, I give up
Kill me now I’ve had enough
