Questions

Where can I go
With this
Complication?
When can I
Accept
It's all for
The best?
When can I
Just sit and
Count
My blessings
And not
Worry what
Else I might
Come against?

Where's The Bottom?

Give him a chance
To find himself.
Give him a chance
To fall.
Don't keep up this
Crazy circle
Reaching behind
The wall.

Ball of Confusion

I don't understand
Why this is
Happening again.
I can't stand to
Watch,
But I can't
Look away.
Why can't
They see
Just what
They are
Doing
And how
They are
Screwing
Up chances
Again.

About Success

Praying for a
Good conclusion
A new illusion
Believed and seen.
Today was today
For you -
But tomrorrow
Will be then
For me.

Coming To Terms

Can I hide
Inside myself
Or make myself
Be seen?
Can I be
Just who I am
And not
Who you believe?
Can I change
And should I have to
Just to be
The same?
Can you see
The truth in me
And know I'm not
To blame?

All About Perspective

Temporary
Versus
Eternal.
Sin
Versus
Choice
Versus
Lifestyle
Versus
Inherent trait.
It's all
In the way
We choose
To view
Things.

Reconnect

It is so good
To reconnect
With precious
People
When they mean
So much
To you.

Hattie

What can I say
To you
That might
Ease your pain
And take it away?
I want to do so
Much
But there's not much
I can do.
So I'll pray for you
And hope you
Can feel them -
And the love
Behind them.

How Did This...

How did my life
Become this
Confusing,
In a matter of
Days,
And with
Just one thing?
It is not
Going smoothly
But I pray
It will calm
And that people
Will see
Me
For me.

Who I Am

It feels nice
And confusing
And satisfying
To be who I am
Tonight.
To have family
Who loves me
Regardless
Makes
The unbearable
So much
Easier
For me to
Bear.

Second Note To Self

Please
Find peace
Inside
Yourself.
Stop hiding
In regret
And selfishness.
Be a woman
And be who
You are.
Don't neglect
To embrace
What is
Waiting
For you.

Lit Path

It is hard,
She said,
Walking in
The dark.
But the Lord
Is with you,
As He always is.
There is
Always
Light
And you
Are never
Alone.

Nothing Changes

My head is
Spinning.
Is there no
Ending
To this weird
World
I'm living
In?
Just know
That it
Does not
Get easier.
It hurts
Just the same
When someone
You love
Is struggling.

The Heart of a Home

What can I say
And what do I do
Now that
The pieces of
Your heart
And your home
Are in my home?
It hurts, in a way,
Because they are
Yours.
But we will protect
And treasure them.
The heart of a home
Is never lost.

Exceedingly Great

Rising above
Expectations,
Even if
They are your
Own,
Makes it seem
Very possible
That expectations
Can be exceeded
Every day.

Enjoying the Gift

Today is never
Just a day.
There's always
Something
To enjoy.
Time to help
And give and
Time to be.
To live inside
This gift
We see.

Forgetful Me

In the dark
I write
By the last
Bit of light
And I know
That when
Tomorrow comes
More good
Will come
Of this.

Opposite

After only this
Handful of days,
I have written
Far more than
A handful of
Words.

Choice of Voice

There is
Life
And there
Is love.
There is
Hate
And things
Unsolved,
But it's
My choice
Which to
Give a voice
To,
And which
To leave
Behind.

People-Pleaser

What do you think
Of the state of things now
The way they are
And how they might
Change somehow?

I know it's my duty
To guard and protect
My life and my heart
With love and respect.

But it's hard to
Understand
How far is far enough
And when is too much

When it comes to
Fitting in - to belonging
That longing
That we all possess.

What a mess
My desire to people-please is.
Why can't I keep the rest
And just release
This?

Thoughts on Writing

The taste of
Success
Is so very
Tasty.
But the journey
Is also
Delicious
To enjoy.

Begin Again

Signs and wonders
Are all around
So open your heart
And let them in.
Don't be scared
Or question now,
Just let your love
Begin again.
