You couldn’t be
what I needed
wanted you to be.
No matter
how hard you tried
you couldn’t be.
You couldn’t be
all that I needed
desired you to be.
I see you couldn’t be
you couldn’t be.

You Couldn’t Be

I Know I’ve Been Lost
April 5, 2022
I know
I’ve been lost
in the wilderness
of
low self esteem
Climbing out
has been hard
rocks, crevasses
unholy shards
pierce my skin, my life
my thoughts
Still I climb
I push, pull and shove
to
a glorious world
full of
grace, courage
and
self-love.

Remember To Love
November 12, 2020
Remember to love
And
Respect thy self.
Let no man, woman or child
Be above the love you show
Yourself.
For if you are lost
To the thoughts of another
You are lost to you.
Hard as it may be
Love with gentleness
Respectfully.

Some Things Are Hard
May 29, 2015
Some things are hard to remember.
They crush the spirit, they crush the soul.
We’ll never know what would have happened
If they never had been told.
Muster pass, remember this
They are not your whole world
Only a small part of it.
The beauty of the rest will still unfold.

Soft And Gentle
August 8, 2012Soft and gentle
Strong and hard
Much to learn
Lots to discard.
Be you patience
Kind and bright
For whatever
Comes tonight.
