Hold me
so
I don’t feel
that heartache
that
tragedy.
My mind will
go
to a place of peace
if
you’ll only
hold me.
Hold me
so that
not another thought
will make me
cry
but
sing with joy
eternally.
Knowing you are
just
holding me.

My heart aches
my soul
cries.
Nowhere do I know
the road
to
take.
The life to abide.

Can I be
or
can I not be?
Is the question
I ask myself
as
I gently glide
through
to
my destiny.
No one else
knows
the answer.
No one cares
for
you see
they too are working
thru
to
their own
magnificent destiny.

Precious
is
the life
we live.
Precious
be
all life
that lives.

Standing on the precipice
Going forward
Then
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.

No more
can I say
those words
you want to hear.
No more, no more
will I do
as
you ask.
No more
will I be the one
that
safe place for you.
No more, no more
I say.
But…
Will I do?

Coping,
Struggling
with all
that’s before me.
Coping not well
trying to see
all my advantages
all
my discrepancies.
This may not be
me
but it is what
I’m struggling
to overcome.
Just so
I can be me
the me.
I need to be.

Heaven forbid
that
I see
another day of sadness
despair
no
gladness.
I’ll work my way
to
the best
I can
see.
Find
all the dignity
in
everything
so divine.
Forbidding
heaven
to
let it
disappear.
Let it stay
always
in
my mind, my soul
and
all mankind.

Carry me.
Carry me forward.
Carry me
to
the place
that will keep me
full
of gratitude.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2026
Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.
