Not sure why
Anything is.
Not sure how
The earth came to be
Nor if it’s existed
More than an eternity.
Not sure why
My heart does pound
When I feel your presence
Next to mine.
Not sure I’ll be here
Laughing, crying with my family
Til the sun sets
On all humanity.
Not sure
Not sure I want to be.

I can’t believe
the things I see
I need
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll be better able to handle
all that comes at me
Maybe then
I’ll smile, relax
and
know it was meant to be
Meant
just for me.

Oh give me
the kind of strength
you show
I should be
Let me give the love
you do
forgiving
all that transgressed
against thee
I know I haven’t
shame on me
Then
I see you giving all
with no thought
of what may come
to be
I’m in awe
of you
I care, I hold
I love you
Desperately.

Lil ~ May I be more like you ~ ♥♥
Totally unacceptable
Totally
Not what I want
The question though
is. . .
What do I really want?
Something acceptable
Something that makes me happy
Something that
I want.
Makes me get up in the morning
Sleep
Restful in the night.
Yes
That’s definitely
Definitely what I want.

Can I see?
Be what I want to be?
Know the path to go?
Can I bypass the treacherous
Not
What I need to see
To know?
The answer is mine
To say, to see
To know.
For it’s all there
And that’s
That is what I know.

Sentenced to life
Sentenced to death
Sentenced to live an existence
Filled with loving hearts
No tragedy, no criticism
No regrets.
Which is yours?
Which sentence will be your verdict?
Your living, your existence
Or
Your death?
Choosing is yours
Choosing
Is
What we do
With
Each heartbeat
Each breath.

No more can I see
You, Me
Gone with the past
Used to be
You, Me
When in the future
will I love?
You, Me
Be immersed
in
lovely love?
You, Me
No more to happen
No more to be
You, Me.

Does anyone
tell of
does anyone see
the beauty
the complexity
of
the world around us?
A world full
of
natural things
like birds, flowers
and
bees.
Never let me
be blind
to what could happen
to all this
all this
natural, age old
beauty.
Let me help protect it
keep it as it
has always been
as it
should always be.
And
Let me not forget
that
I too am part of this
all this
Heaven on earth
This
natural
age old beauty.

No one helps
no one sees the world
exactly
like me.
Sometimes I’m great
sometimes I’m very sad
and
sometimes
sometimes I know
just what’s needed
not
to go mad.
~ Patrice
@ Patrice Clarkson – 2024
No one writes
No one sees the world
Exactly
Just like me.
Changes come
Things disappear
They go
As
I sit here
Wondering
What makes me tick
Why
My life ebbs and flows
All the things
Only
I can know.
