Save myself, help myself
Do not accept defeat
Power, strength moves mountains
Higher expectations cancel out retreat.
Now is the time to stand
Stand right on the line not looking back
Accepting the fact that I am
I am.
I am the one who has the will
The power to help and save
That person who I am
This I know, I know I am.

Time ends
All
Passes by.
No one is questioned
Nor knows
The reason why.
Hearts are broken
Mended
Then left to survive.
Some make it
Others
Well we cry.

Now will come and soon will past
Memories will be what will last.
Moving in transition from has been
To that that lasts.
Now can dream, dream at last.

Thoughts at morning
Bring the night to life
Answering questions
Dreamed late last night.
Maybe tomorrow
It will all seem right
But for now
Answers dance
In the morning light.

I Lost My Heart
Somewhere last night
Can’t find it
I’ve looked all night.
It wasn’t in the bed
We slept in last night
Nor on the table where we sat
Holding hands last night.
Maybe on the pathway
We walked just before midnight
No, couldn’t find it
Even thu I looked
All thorough the night.
Then in the morning
In the morning light
I found my heart
Found my heart unbroken
You’d held it in your arms
All through the loving night.

Why not forgive, let it go
For you know
The pain is only yours
They don’t care or know.
Don’t let them live
In your heart and soul.

Chart your dream and make it real.

Hearing nothing, feeling all
How can I be in love
With nothing, nothing at all?
With words I wander in my mind
Imaging scenarios, images of all kinds
Maybe won’t come to pass
Maybe will last and last.
Doesn’t matter
For I see, I feel
While hearing nothing
Nothing not at all.

Honestly, can’t remember anything
Nor who I am in another life
I’m sure I lived and had command
Of all the things
In a life I can’t remember
Don’t understand.

In the heat of the moment
I cope
I learn to adjust
Not using mirrors, illusions
Or blinding smoke
I cope
Moving forward addressing
The matter, using kind words
Smiles and laughter
I cope
Nothing matters as much
As that I solve the issue
Adjust and move forward
That I cope.
