Write
What you need to.
Write
What you feel too
Doesn’t matter if it
Never sees daylight
Only known on pages
Of a book closed tight.
Write
Let it out
Let it be recorded on
The slate that makes you be
What you’ve become
You see.

I know I haven’t been
The best you’ve ever seen
I’ve tried, I tried
But after all the manoeuvring
It hasn’t happened
It hasn’t come to be.
I haven’t seen my way
And settled with
The acknowledgement that
I’ll be the best of me
The best I can
The best I’ve ever been
Today.

Feel the anger
The pressure baring down
Grasp the lighter, redeeming saviour
Hold him close
Move to higher ground.
Let no one’s hatred, anger find you
For you have a buffer,
A wall of love all around
You are safe
No more pressure baring down.

Nothing to say not in any way
All has been said
Then left to be
Easy to live with or diving down
Into pure agony.
Nothing can stop all these
Bad thoughts
But you can replace them
With something pleasant
Making your face into a huge smiley.
No, nothing to say
Not this morning, this evening
Not today.

When I think
Of all the things
That have disappeared
Gone away
Happened yesterday
My heart joins forces
With my soul
To help me understand
Why it all had to go away
Yesterday.

Feel the presence
feel the rays of sunshine
happiness and gratitude
infiltrate each waking moment
everyday.
Breathe it in
wash away
dirty anger not needed
not felt nor experienced
no, not in any way.

The help
I need
I fear
is near.
I hope
I pray
it will guide me
thru today from yesterday.
I need
I fear
I hope
I pray.

Thunder clouds fill the sky
I ask myself
The reason
The reason why.

Delicately
I embrace thee
Softly
I caress thee
While with my whole heart
I unconditionally
Love thee.

I know you’re there
I’ve felt your sweet breath
upon my face, my hair
your soft voice sweetly calls
from somewhere, somewhere
but I don’t know where
your steps direct my feet
they lead me in a way so discreet
I can’t falter nor wander
you guide me, guide me there
I feel no despair
you are with me where’er I go
I know, I know you’re there.
