Awake


I stop 
I think 
I cry
I laugh
Mostly at myself 
Sometimes with myself 
I get that blank, confused look when I'm not sure. 
I'm hardly ever sure 
You confuse me
All the time 
Well, not all the time 
Only when you're silent 
When your sentences are short and meaningless
So, I confuse you? 
I guess we're confusing each other then. 
Sigh 
The battle of the mind and soul 
The hearts entwined face to face 
Is it real? 
Am I awake? 
Is this a silly game? 
Let it not be a prank. 
Doubts 
Silly doubts 
Why have you taken over my mind? 
I don't want to be the end of me 
I don't 
I don't.

It Was Good For Me That I Was Afflicted

  It must be disheartening to know I have had to heal from you that your betrayal is one of the reasons for   the crisp clear   obvious lines I now flaunt   You must have suffered some disappointment by my loss of poor self-esteem because I had found the courage to become inconvenient for you   You must have had some pondering days   Because I was good to you   and you knew I never deserved it But   it was good for me that I was afflicted   It was good that your big, bad, broad, petty back was turned when I truly needed you because I would still be hanging on to your coattails It was good for me that I was afflicted   I had to fight my way through my own self-inflicted wounds to wind up in my healing alone I was overly confident about my position in your life I thought you were a day one even though you weren’t around since day one   But had the feeling like a day one Maybe because I treated you like a day one and things that happen...

Bland

After the earthquake, I smile. I might fall a little or maybe a lot but I get up.  I get up because I realize that there is nothing down there for me to do. Down was not home; it was uncomfortable. Poco a poco with a spoon for a shovel and faith so big, Mount Everest trembles, I crawl out. Residue lingers but making the best of the moment is what counts. That's all that matters. When dry runs and inconvenient pit falls run amok.  The moment counts.  All the moments count. 

I am the Sun

I am the sun.  I rise, strong I stand,  stronger  with a purpose to shine.  I am the sun.  I set subtly and with power leaving behind a day’s worth of pain. A day’s worth of joy. A day worth remembering for a lifetime.  I am the sun.
