I take no pleasure
in
what you’ve said
or
done
It is
my journey
I must concentrate
begin
get done
Yours
is
yours
We may travel
on the path
as
one
But
In
the final ending
we’ll be alone
we’ll be
just
one.

After deep soul searching
Searching deep
Within
The depth of
Me
I found
Found I could be
The one
The one and only one
The only one of
Me.

I am grateful
for
all those
that
cared
loved me
and
stood beside me
when
I faltered
fell down.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
I see the anger
the fury
Why do I let
this
envelope me?
Struggle to be free
to be
happy
Yet all I see
is
sadness, madness
Scaring me.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
You’re holding
my heart, my soul
Please
never let go
For I’ll be adrift
in
a sea of heartache, misery
seeing no light
no sanctity
This I know, I see
So I’m sending you
my love
for all
that you’ve done
done
just for me.

The gentle soul
who resides inside of me
takes care
to be
kind, pleasing to all
that
she perceives
to
need her care, her comfort
all the things
that
help someone thrive
and
be
the best they can
That’s what
the gentle soul
inside
of me
she strives
to be.

Hear the heart call
beckoning all
to feel
love in our minds, our hearts
our souls
Let it be cherished
held close
forever
never losing what fills us
with
sweet kindness.
Let it be
Let it be what
our heart calls.
~ Patrice

Yes I can
I really will
make more of today
than
I did in yesterday.
Striving
only
to be me
into
tomorrow
with
pleasant dignity.

Nobody knows
nor
can they
see
the world
exactly
the same
as
me.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2025
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.
