Mother, Father
I can’t sleep,
I think of you.
My Mother, my Father,
Did you forget I am your daughter?
My eyes close,
tears are pushed out,
my support, my guidance,
Did you forget my silence?
When tempers flared,
I stayed quiet.
When times were violent,
I remained calm.
When character insulted,
I spoke loud.
I stood up and faced you down.
I told you I was lost, but now found.
So firm I still stand
with forgiveness at every turn.
My love for you is unconditional,
Hope yours will one day return.

Action without Wisdom
She walks very slowly. Around each corner, She peaks her head around first. Caution used to be her friend. but now the tip-toeing has turned to a sprint. She slams into walls that once looked like corners. Her speed became her downfall. Her slow pace left her behind. The balance she has yet to find.

fought for you
I fought for you.
I even bled tears of red.
And you thank me
with showing how I’m dead.
I fought for you.
let myself collapse inside.
And you thank me
with failure seen by the blind.
I cried for you.
shed the love of others.
And you thank me
with doubt hidden under covers.
I fought, I bled, I cried.
I lost myself and my pride.
I reached for hope,
and ended with pain,
To bring you back,
I’d do it all again.
But the lesson is learned,
the memories aren’t tangled.
So Wisdom is my ally
And your goal is endangered.

Perfection’s Loss
You failed me.
You made me see,
that once again,
You’re imperfect like me.
Your set back
Has me damaged,
But my imperfections
Are ones managed.
You’ve broken my heart,
Trying to break my face.
You’ve stolen my love,
Stolen it’s romantic place.
Your wounds burn mine
And my faults try to heal.
The difference is obvious,
Your pain won’t be concealed.
It thrives on destruction,
It won’t go down alone.
You thrive on perfection,
An idea you’ve never known.

Missing
Someday you’ll see,
Someday you’ll care,
Someday you’ll notice
that I’m not there,
Someday you’ll fight,
Blood on your knuckles,
bruised and exhausted,
but I won’t be there,
Someday you’ll yell,
Someday you’ll cry,
just like I did,
When you bruised my eye.
When You bruised my heart,
When You bruised my soul,
When You bruised the truth
I once thought I’d know.
You could have stopped,
You could have said-
“Lets end this pain
and all forgive”,
but now it’s time
and you’ve reached the end,
nothing was proved
and the truth was pretend.

Maze
I know where you are.
You are here.
But I’m lost.
I am not near.
I’ve run through the maze
That I created myself.
And left you at the gate
holding all of my wealth.
My guidance you held.
My strength I had given.
Into your arms,
Then I made the decision,
To run just as fast
as I gave up my possessions,
To run just as fast
and forget my discretion.
I know it’s not lost.
You are still holding them close.
But now I must find my way back
to what matters most.
My journey is long
I have not yet reached you,
Though I look forward to the day,
when I can finally see you.
And my heart is not heavy
my heart can be free,
from all of these burdens
life has placed upon me.

False
Even though I heard you said it,
even though I know it’s true,
My heart won’t ever let me forget it,
even though I don’t believe you.
My feelings are the way to falling,
My feelings aren’t the way to truth,
The walls put up aren’t based on knowing,
The walls put up aren’t based on you.
Slowly, I see, knowledge comes from fact,
Not from feelings or how we react.
Feelings change like the days of the week,
but You always stay, you won’t retreat,
Regardless of my emotion,
your words never loose devotion,
Your message remains well stated,
just my perception is what’s twisted.
