She’s Powerless
She’s the power in his powerless her less is more, at the core of her beliefs her restraint begs for more, she’s the sanctuary he confides in when his wounded are to many. The lifetime and the life long the struggle and the believing. Coaxing remedies to his wicked, her grieving is relieving. The shame

The Powerful and the Powerless
The Powerful & The Powerless
A tiny girl looks up
and stares at the sky
She hears loud noise and sirens
But she doesn’t understand why.
She is still so very tiny
That she can barely talk.
She still drinks from a bottle
And has just learned to walk.
Her brothers and sisters are small too
Coming from a loving family
But that family

Powerless
Time and time again I fight
To make what's wrong into a right
But though I try and give it my all
I'm powerless and feel so small
The world is burning outside my window
But I have memories as a memento
Of what my life was before it became
Every day is death the same
The ones I love board up their

Powerfully Powerless
Don’t be arrogant
There is a difference between arrogance and confidence
Don’t think that you are the purest
Because life will show you that you are the filthiest!
Thirst for helping your brother
And you will discover that it is not only about your religion
Life will teach you that you are powerfully powerless

Powerless and Proud
I tried to the stop the climate change
I tried to stop the war
I tried to stop addiction
From my spot on the tavern floor
I used to fight the good fight
I don't do that anymore
'cause I'm powerless
And god dammit, I'm proud
I used to have opinions
That were of a certain ilk
My arguments, all polished
My reasoning, smooth as

Powerless
seams of marriage come part
as house of cards tumble down;
child's glue not holding parents
all attempts in vain

Lightning cut the power off four times this week
As sultry summer storms pass overhead
By candlelight, I write a letter to my sweetheart
Without him, I feel powerless
Without him, I feel powerless
By candlelight, I write a letter to my sweetheart

Just Be
I want to be just a woman,
Weak and dependent on her husband.
Life has already started to crack,
And the truth will come out.
I don't want to feel powerless,
I don't want everyone to be offended,
The days began to drag on dreary,
I realized that I had something to lose.
I always look for a spiritual light in people,
And even

World Is Powerless Ii
Morning dew falls, dripping down
like tears down humanity's pain
following the setting sun
bloodshot eyes
Earth.. nature... society
tearing at the seams
in anguish
titans in conflict
Minds fertile
in vast oblivion
lost in direction
on paths fogged to truth
Mre we powerless to(o)
effect change
or is the choice
to be powerless

The Power of a Panic Attack
The powerful palpitations pounding in my chest,
Will my heart with stand this test,
Another attack has just begun,
Abracadabra out it sprung.
Piercing pain constricting my chest,
My ribs collapsing, the attack conquering its quest,
Each breath harder, sharper, shallower than the next,
My fingers hastily clawing at my chests raw flesh.
Panic awakens my pale plain face,
Every gasp leaves

Not Powerless
No one is powerless against their addiction.
All that's truly required is to seriously practice self discipline,
and work on those issues of yours unresolved within,
that prompts you to hide behind drugs or abusive drinking.
I celebrated thirty years of sobriety by having a drink.
That was five years ago, and I can count on one hand the drinks

Powerless
You find me when I am weak, not tired; the rush of anxiety has overtaken me and made a fool of my strength.
You find me when I can’t sit still, moving helplessly from room to room looking for a fix; for you. I drink you and find myself again; I find calmness again, I find
