    When I speak of this moment.I will remember one thing.And only one thing going forward.Doing Good. Being Good. Feeling Good.These are all functions that cannot be extinguished in my heart.I have, and will, love with all my heart.I have, and will, believe in those who raised me.I have, and will, believe in all those who…

    Tonight, tonight.

    I do everything right.I reach for help when I need it. The decisions I make, harshly judged, based on information that is manipulated. I admitted my mistakes. I asked for forgiveness. There is no win, nor a loss. Those who shoved me down this path, did so without empathy, and wondered why I could not…

    Electric Dreams it Seems

    This was unfair of me.It was unfair of me to believe in you.It was unfair of me to surround you with my love.It was unfair of me to ask you to be mine.It was unfair of me to believe in your words.It was unfair of me to love you as much as I did.It was…

  • Love, Love, Me

    Love, Love, Me

    When I’m alone, I think of the times we were together, those many days, and all those calming nights, they were some of the happiest times I’ve ever seen.. And then you pushed me away, you pushed me off a cliff. You got me hurtin’ so bad that I keep missin’, missin’ what I had.…

    I used to know who I am. I used to know what love was. I used to know my heart’s desire. I used to know the depths of my strength. And then I found some more. I once had the strongest sense of self. I once had love and dreams fulfilled. I once stood tall…

    If the ending would have been just a little different: I would have treated you better. I would have held you even longer. I would have made you prouder. I would have hurt you less. I would have hurt myself a little less. I would have listened a little more. I would have forgiven myself…

    When you’re faced with a moment, After the longest of roads… When you wouldn’t know who you are. When the pressure is at its worst. When life has kicked you, In the chest, in the head, So many times, All you wished for was the end, You are in need of that very moment, To…

    Today

    I do not feel the fright. I do not feel it’s time for flight. I do not seek from you a new light. I do not prepare for another fight. I do not look to be gifted a new sight. It was real for me. It was real for you to see. It was real…

    Faster Stillness

    When we come into life, it’s been said we scream “Giddy Up!” And go out screaming “Whoa!” In our youth, always saying “Let’s go.” In those later years, holding one’s hand saying “Please don’t let go.” A life lived in measures of zero to sixty, at the end praying more for infinity. So many moments…
