Hold me close, let me go
No more to see the agony
Keeping me all alone
Destitute
Far from where I want to be
Hold me
Hold me then let me go
Trusting I’ll find my way
No matter where the path may lead
Where I need to go.
~ Patrice

Quietly
I hold you dearly
Singing songs of love
So clearly
Cherished by those that hear
The melody
Quietly
I say words that hold you close
Words of wisdom for love
For
I love you
Oh so much, the most
Quietly
I walk away
Never looking back
Never saying
Or
Waving goodbye
Quietly
I disappear from your life
For
You have learned
All that’s needed.
Quietly

Hope is all I have
To get me through the day.
Hope that all the bad
Will disappear like yesterday.
Hope I have the strength
To stand tall and say.
I am good
I am the best
I am all I need
I will leave the rest.

Follow your heart. Take your time
You have a lifetime.

Nobody can
Understand
Another’s reason
Nobody
Nobody can.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one can, can be
no one can see
things the same
same
as you or me.
Travel through life
live as well as you can
smile
be the best possible
as only you
you can.

No one believes
And
I can’t see
The solution, the remedy
To
What ails the world
And
Unfortunately me.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
No one tells me
No one says
The words I need to hear
Need inside my brain
My head.
They are out there
They have been said
Just not to me
They still do not live here
Within my body
Within
My questioning head.
~ Patrice
@Patrice Clarkson – 2023
I mustn’t tell
The things I know
Keep them secret
No one else
Should ever know.
Let them be
Secrets known only
To me
Don’t let the world see
These secrets
I keep inside of me.
~ Patrice

Maybe you saw
What happened to me
Maybe you saw
How unnecessary.
But then it happened
Happened to you and you see
Nothing to judge
Even if done discreetly.
