No one can
no one will be
exactly
exactly as me.

Criminal it is
no doubt that it is
and
why does no one
say
the words
to stop it
today?
Today
is when
no more
no more is what
it should be
There’s no doubt
it’s
criminal
criminal it be.

When
I look back
I see a life so different
so not
the present me
My heart
beats
my eyes see
but
not the way
the way it use to be
Maybe
I’ve grown
maybe I’ve lived
different lives
from an enfant
to
that young girl
oh so lost, asking why
Then
I seen my life
my existence
in a frame
of nature’s beauty
full of kindness
and
singing so sweet
It became the basis
of
how I live
how
I enjoy and love
Letting go
of
anger
sadness so bleak
those things lived
back there
in
yesterday
Those things I now do not seek.

I hold in my hands
The very essence
Of
This my life.
I cherish in my heart
All the things
That make it so blessed
In
All my life.
I seek to find
Meaning, strength in the path
I take, the people I meet
Making it the best I can
This
My only life.
This is my prayer
This is my life
I will take it take it to the top
Surpass all the rest
Going to
The highest heights.
Yes I will
This
This is my life.

There seems
not to be
a lot of sense, logic
nor
harmony
basking itself
in
sunny beauty.
All that seems
to exist
is
anger
hatred and strife
screaming obscenities
throughout
the long cold, horrid night.
Let me
feel
the gift of love
enveloped
in
beauty, happiness
near
people who care.
Not those who
only seek
to
destroy.
Oh please, please
let me.

Tender hearts do not break
They stand their ground
So very strong
Dear
To everyone They know.
They change lives
They show kindness, love
Will grow
In places so vacant
So cold.
Tender hearts
Only
Need a chance
A chance to embrace
The lost, the hurt.
Hold them
Till they too bestow
Tender heart’s kindness
To all
All they know.
