I am not a victim. There are no lost causes. “I’ve been there, done that, and know suffering — but it’s all good.” I’m still standing, “can’t touch this”. Self pity is an excuse to do nothing. To appeal to sympathy for pity’s sake is to seek affirmation of the choice to do nothing. I am empowered by the spirit and support of meaningful experience and I transform with silent resilience.
Why do they say they’ll call
confuse and mislead you;
no need to make you believe
if there is nothing left to feel.
My life is a merry-go-round
the horses travel up and down;
for time wasting is not what I want
just some solid ground.
I think it’s time;
I know I’m ready;
like the flowers of spring
so bright and friendly;
calling to be picked;
only want to make someone happy
Heartache is my enemy.
WHY IS LOVE SO PERFECT FOR SOME
WHERE THE SUN SHINES BRIGHT AND NEVER FADES -
YET SET BEHIND THE CLOUDS FOR SOME
IS A WORLD OF OF PAIN..
Moving On
It’s a secret disguise -
that dance is fake -
The look you give attracts but nothing you can relate;
For it’s love you want more than anything
What you had minus the heartache -
The one you found was great
but it was only to learn a lesson in love -
That not all he’s are bad
and now it’s just time to wait.
You call now to hear my voice
When you think it’s ok
you start to speak;
I love you, I miss you
all the things you think, I want to hear.
But it’s too late;
I’m strong now, I hold my own
the temptation is still there
but the consequence is too great;
I left that world of pain, I’m in a better place;
You only want to know
If I have moved on
It’s what you can’t have that you want most;
but it’s too late,
I’m GONE.
I disguise the pain through other love
it’s a hole which never fills;
The violence fades and it’s hard to remember
The tears dry up and the smile returns.
What remains are subtle scars
enough for only me to tell;
In dreams we would be fairytale
In life he’s the bird with the broken wing;
he has no choice but to fly
off into the distant sky;
That God will forgive
For once a boy but now a man;
A pain which will live forever inside of him.
Reach out
You can run but you can’t hide
It will all catch up with you in time;
For the people who care, won’t surrender
they are the shoulder for you to cry
they will carry the light in your darkest corner;
Expressions will whisper the comfort you need
You are no longer alone, you have nothing to fear
Life is only just starting
now you are here.
I gave you everything but it wasn’t enough
you did not trust me you just called my bluff;
You made me stare only at you
It would not matter what I knew;
I tried everything for you to trust
but you convinced yourself it was just lust
You lied;
You cheated;
You swore abuse;
There was nothing more I could do.
Jealousy
A jealousy never understood
A love so deep yet could still be broken
temptation too sweet
but never filled
lies and torment enough to untreat
Pain and suffering in the eyes of who meet
A love addiction too strong to break
yet these wounds could never be healed
not even in years of wait
He never knew how to handle you
You were so different from what he ever knew
never a door mat for he to walk
A mind so powerful, always deep in thought.
So confident and independent you became a threat
How could one get turned upside down
so that instead;
It was life of emptiness, no longer a mind of your own
you walked only in his shadow
until it was taken down.
Your scream was a cry for help
except you would not listen to that inner self
you lost your job and maybe a career
but you don’t wallow in self pity
I see you, I believe in you
the fence is being built
your heart is a puzzle of a million pieces
day by day it’s finding a way
to add another piece to the puzzle.
