Free Someday

Scars settle on my wrist, recording all my pain
Blood seeps from the new cuts, flowing gently from my arm
Tears running down my face, as I choke back my sobs
Someday I will be free, from the pain that chains me

Raining On My Garden

So glad, so happy, enthralled to have a job! Chortling as I choke back words.  The verse part of my garden absurdly lacking. But so thrilled, tickled, absolutely agog.

bouquet of part-time
bloomed into three full days -
my garden suffers

Broken Silence

Defense is my method
and life is the game
I continue like this
and this is why I go insane
Trapped in my laughter
and sunken in my chair
I choke back my words
as I feel people stare
I wish I can change
to feel invited
but yet in the end
I'm just far sighted
Dreaming of everywhere 
in the world I can be
finding my comfort
in just you and me

Holding Back

I’m biting my tongue
I don’t want to say what must be said
I’m drowning in my own foolishness
These thoughts swirling about my head

These bitter words I choke back
Shoving lies down my throat
Believing them
As to not betray

I hate this whimsy that haunts my mind
I hate this passion that empowers my heart
True love… a thing so hard to find
Why’d I have to find it… in you?

Forever

sleeps not coming on a night like this
when every thing's quiet
and the thoughts rush in
like tears at that moment
of truth and revelation
when you realize that all that you love
and searched for above
has been here all along
and it's all you can do to laugh and choke back tears
when you figure out
that forever has got brown hair
and a knife for a smile
and she's been here all the while

my forever has been here all the while
