Nobody does
what
I think
they should do
Nor
do they say things
I think
could be true
Doesn’t matter what
I think
Cause
people say and do
whatever they want
What
their heart tells them
they should say
They think
they should do.

Heartfelt feelings
coming thru
even though I don’t know
where
they came from
or
where
they’re going to.

I seek to find
the world
in a place divine
No hatred
killing
ever creeping slime
Caring places all
on the pedestal of sincere
and right
Full of joy
laughter
cuddling thru the night
This is where I want to be
this is how
all things should turn
A place I’ll seek, I’ll look
I’ll find
in a world most divine.

No one does
the same as me
no one holds in their hearts
the vision, the hope
the same
as
me
We may be
all together
we may be travelling
on
similar journeys
But
no one does
whether hard or easy
the same path
the same
as
me.

Can you be
someone I can count on
can you be?
My heart says
I hope so
but
can you?
Can you sacrifice
everything
for me?
Take what matters
make it be
all that I need
to become the person
I want to
that one
I need to be.
This I’m asking you
can you?
You that live
in my head, my heart
that one
that has always been
me.

I sit here
wondering
delving deep inside
to
feel words
I need
to give and convey
love
gentleness
to all
that live in this
crazy
crazy world
today.
~ Patrice

Holding on, gripping tight
wondering what could
come to be
Today, tonight?
I see
the course
I see the path
but what
is
expected of me
Today, tonight?

You haven’t been
Completely honest
With me, you or anybody
Always telling half truths
Bald faced lies
The question is
Why, why?
Nothing gained by your actions
All lost in the aftermath
Of your lies
Your sordid lies
Lies.
Will I tomorrow see
A new you as you say
The one to tell the truth
Or
Is it just another lie
One of your many, many
Lies.

Where I’ve been
what I’ve seen
is
nothing
compared to you.
It does not
raise the temperature
it doesn’t make
the news.
But it’s
where I’ve been
it’s
what I’ve seen
it’s everything.
Everything
that makes me
me
not you.

Stories told
Are the stories
I tell.
Are they true
Or did I just say words
That make the story
Told well?
Secrets revealed
Bad parts left out
Who knows
How can you tell?
Embellished or truthful
Telling a tale
To remember.
Not because
It’s told correctly
But told well.
