How are you?Really!Behind the big smile and the all is well.The inner tears you cry,The deep thoughts of fear and uncertainty.Are you fine?Really!Underneath the heavy layers of makeup.Keeping all your scars in check.I ask again…..How are you?Really!Truth is, I am good, never been better.I admit, I don’t have it easy.I have a ton of burden…… Continue reading How are you? Really!

That’s Okay
Not everyday is a good day and, That’s okay. How do you rise when you haven’t fallen? You win some, you loose some and, That’s okay. Not everyone will love you. And even those that love you do so for a reason and, That’s okay. Baby! Loving yourself is the best kind. People will not…… Continue reading That’s Okay
Little Me
I wish I could watch how my life’s journey began.From my making to when mum found out she had conceived me.All her cravings and the kicks I gave her.When she gave that final push and there I was.My humble beginnings.Innocent and harmless days.Then when I started crawling and making weird faces and funny noises. My…… Continue reading Little Me
Trust Me
Why don’t you just trust Me?You’re still holding back,Time and again I tell you I love you,But you act like you don’t care,Like none of this means anything to you,What more do you want Me to show you?I continue to stand at the door of your heart and knock, Seeing as I can’t force My…… Continue reading Trust Me
Until Death
Now is now, with you.But until death do you realize my worth.Until death the scales fall from your eyes and suddenly I was good, holy and saintly.Here and now, no attention paid, arguably the monster in your nightmares.But until death, I will be the best thing that ever happened to you, an angel.The so called…… Continue reading Until Death

Stay with me on this side On this side you are safe from the worlds vile The clutch of sin and grave I will keep you safe Staying on my side Though the waters be troubled, In me you have an anchor Be still and know Stay with me, trust and obey. Not as a…… Continue reading STAY WITH ME
Quiet Library
Quiet library,Long itinerary,but I may leave before those who came before me, The loud silence calms me, The occasional muffled noises let me know this can’t be a cemeteryThe sound of the music coming from the earphones of the one next to me,A brief bout of laughter,Then silence again,The heavy set smell of the dust-collecting…… Continue reading Quiet Library
RANDOM
Bleeding pains Burdened hearts We don’t always get what we want, Should we deprive others of their joy? Broken bonds, Open wounds, A world full of broken people. How do we heal? If we could laugh our hardest. Cry when we ought to. Say exactly how we feel, Not act like we have everything figured…… Continue reading RANDOM
In The Dead Of The Night
in the dead of the night, when you’re holding your pillow a little tighter than usual, i hope you know, that you are beautiful, you’re strong and resilient, tough, the very recipient, of hate and criticism yet you rise, through the barriers of false hope and anxiety, making way for the others behind you, it’s…… Continue reading In The Dead Of The Night
