Long Darkest before the dawn Poems

President Trump, 
shortly after his singularly smelly election, 
declared emphatic comparisons with Elder Republican
Abraham Lincoln.

Early on,
he described Lincoln as his kindred political soul,
admired mentor,
and the former President he was destined to most resemble
in spirit and...

These days im filled with feeling insignificant.
Just a voice in the wind
Carried and spent
As the world turns, 
It turns itself inside out
Wearing suffocating masks while they lose their rights
Dragging everyone down with them as the...

I know a girl more broken than the aftermath of a bull in a china shop. She knows that her pain wont stop, so instead of trying to fix that, she only ever tries to...

A river of tears poured down her face;
Ocean softly lapping at her toes.
Anxiety built up in her chest,
While the silver dripped down from her nose.

Curls a shade of chocolate milk
Framed her fragile, milk-white face.
The wind...

Dark clouds had gathered
So black and dark 
That, i almost lost hope;
Hope to see the stars above,

I’ve been praying without answers
Pouring out my heart to you
Hoping for the light to see
So I can know what I should do
I’ve cried in disappointment
There's no one to wipe my tears away
I’m surrounded by dark...

They say the sadness will go away
But I find it so hard to believe what they say
Each day is like yesterday, tomorrow, last week
Trying so hard to find the help that I seek
I’m told it’s...

As our paths diverge from one
I envision us a setting sun

Resist the urge to run from night
Comforted only by your gleaming light

As the North Star would guide one home
Shines in my soul that I fear...

What's going on?
Hell maybe it's me?
All the  going down
In our society

Well I don't
What's happening at the border today
People coming into this country
Working below minimum wage

It's a shame
We've got thugs committing crimes
Beating up women and...

Who are you when the mask has lost its stitches

How could the cost of the sun be so little

Vultures and ravens surround the sound of cultures and havens
Utopia turns to dystopia

The skies face turns so...

Waiting For The Sun

There is a fire in me that is too much for this world
Smoldering deep in the roots of my soul
Flames budding, their blossoms longing to unfurl 
Up xylem, down phloem, reciprocal control

Failure...

For every day there is a night.
For every wrong there is a right.

For every up there is a down.
For every smile there is a frown.

It's always darkest before  the dawn.
For every pro there is...

Hazy days spent finding myself
I'm the thirteenth guest at a party for twelve
I'm a fighter for a long lost cause
And nothing is how it once was

Hazy days spent fighting myself
But how can one defeat himself?
Friendly...

Is it the darkest, before the dawn?
Or could that old adage be all wrong? 
Decided to find out for myself
It’s four AM, I’ll know before long

The almanac says sunrise at six
Camera on tripod, keeps a...

In the darkest hour of dawn,
He will never leave you alone.

Your anchor is in His word,
pray, and you will be heard.

No problem is to impossible,
your sins are washable.

Only your heart has the golden key,
unlocking those...

It's always darkest before the dawn. 
While all the bad things will not turn out light. 
Before dawn, terrible pain kills. 
It breaks the soul apart. 

Before dawn, darkness triumphs. 
And there is nothing worse....

it's the darkest part of dawn
it's still daytime yesterday to me
you got me wearing out the floor
you just repossessed your life
i thought it would be Christmas everyday with you
i thought waking up to you would...

The tormented cries of a heart confined
Barely ever met a gratifying end
The meager state is but a trick of your mind
For the course of destiny lies in your own hand

Forsaken love, a conceivable excuse
For a...

It's very hard to face life without my son.
He was troubled and he ended it all with a gun.
He came to me with his problems but I didn't listen to what...

We have fought the war
We have traveled far
Wounds we earned have turned to scar

We have run the race
Kept up with the quickest pace
I know your face

We have come to the end
As the world apart will...

When the world closes in all around you
And your friends are no where to be found
And the feelings inside, that you're trying to hide
Makes you feel your whole worlds coming down

No one said it was...
