Splendid charm of morn
Abound in flora and fauna
Time to decompress

I feel restless,
my heart’s filled with touring notions;
I feel restless;
Longing not just to decompress,
my soul demands wild excursions;
Do you wanna cross the oceans?
I feel restless....

The time is now,  rehearsal is done.
Sync all you smart ass phones,
Reduce your ego: now's the time.
The time has come, get in line.
Push off your soccer games and nameless blames,
Decompress your opinions: there has come a time.
The time will show, hearts will reel.
Boast no more in great glory feigned,
Unloose your sandals: it's showtime....

Exhausted with stress
Feeling the burdening weight
The sudden longing to decompress
Realizing his tired state

Unable to continue
Acknowledging the weakness
He struggled and knew
Sinking into the darkness

Gasping for air 
Reaching for help
Letting his last breath be a prayer
No longer would he yelp

The waters consumed him
Others did their best
But he couldn’t swim 
Now his body will rest...

As  you watched the abuse carried out,
My soul was broken, no doubt.

A connection can never be made,
As my nurturer and protector, I was betrayed. 

Setting the stage for scant regard, 
Not knowing how to protect myself by putting up my guard.

No loving childhood remembrances,
No I love you or tender embraces.

I finally had to let go and grieve,
It will never be the relationship I believe.

In order to begin the healing process,
I had to step away and decompress....
