Spring did not want to appear
as winter kept her nice and warm
covered by his coat of white
it was to comfortable to wake up
it meant work for her
she had gotten to comfortable
the trees began to bud slowly
upset with spring unwillingness
the flower bulbs peeked out
wondering what was keeping spring
the sun shone brightly to wake her
so slowly she decided enough
unwillingly she cast her warmth
upon the earthly orb
spring became awake

Building castles within my own confinement
only to be hit with the harshest of realities
& replaying what it means to be broken, to heal, and relapse
over and over again.
Numbing the weight of so many life choices
Drowning out screams from all different voices.
Lord please me show me your grace.
Seeing myself in the mirror
I'd rather not show my face.
My self esteem crumbled
Self-worth turned to dust
I'm suffering due to a lack of self love
And unwillingness to trust
Feeling as if my body left me unhealed
without my soul intact
Praying I could right the wrongs
that haunt me from my past
afraid of what appears impossible
A daunting peak.. still within my grasp
Have to take that leap of faith
to start me on the path
Dear Lord I pray you break these chains that refuse to set me free
bound from years and years of pain.
Most of which have remained unseen
Let me feel your light my Lord
The warmth shine on my face
I need to feel your selfless love
I need your warm embrace.
The thought of this battle
it heightens all senses of "fight or flight"
I'm writing this in hopes to from now until forever
Guide me into your light.

It's a brand new year,
only a few hours old
and I have hope
that it will be better
A clean slate,
without any new
problems so far,
but old problems prevail
My heart is still heavy
with my son's mental
health condition and his
unwillingness to get help
The heaviness of harsh words
from family members
who are sure I am handling
the situation poorly
Feeling lonely on this hard
journey because I can't do
anything to really help, yet
I can't stand back and do nothing
The feeling of powerlessness,
because he is an adult and
legally, I have no rights,
yet he carries a piece of my heart
That only a mother understands,
that goes with a child when they are
born and they carry that piece of
their mother's heart their entire life.

Feeling is but a distraction
A distraction from being present
While presence is masked by mist
Created by unwillingness to perceive.
Perception requires a bravery that only
The willing can achieve.
The wiling infers a collection of thoughts
That allows mask to breathe.

That cold sparkle of despicable antipathy,
which never waned and was held inside secretly,
didn't start any true affection or desire in me:
on death's final breath it'll agonize me!
Turning somewhere else is seeking vengeance,
from somebody so embolden by anger and apathy;
being unkind is showing the falsity of pretense:
cling to me and spare yourself more days of agony!
Compassion is another form of unpretentious sympathy,
it must be felt adequately to be convincing and genuine;
no comfort is offered, only shallow words that swiftly dwine:
their echo is louder than a thunder rattling any gloomy sky!
Turning somewhere else to find a plausible answer
won't alleviate the anxiety built by a tragic outcome;
come to the senses, knock down the wall of lonely prisoner:
behind it stands the road to freedom, don't be too fearsome!
It's either deranged madness or unwillingness to appease
an imploration suffocated by tears so mercilessly unheeded;
no arms are open, no ears listen to anyone who's wrecked and afraid:
will human mercy be shown when the tides turn and events displease?

When emerging out of the dark,
Inter-net ensured all the little fishes
The same unwillingness we share
To compare, poems fished the fairy
As it is searching for a rhythm
Dancing by the bright flare
Of the hearts capturing each other

What causes war sometimes apart
from ungratefulness and a unwillingness and
inappreciation inherent in ignorance.
Sometimes the one who beats about the bush may
find it easier to strike and harm
than to understand for a sort
of let say correlation?.
Like war is something that may grow
blossoming like hope like wish like
passions?.
One thing sometimes still baffling me
is the audacity of ignorance.

I'm alright. I mean, I don't like the same things I used to anymore but people change over time right? I'm alright. There's this constant buzzing in my mind that steers my thoughts into oblivion so I distract myself to drown it out. I'm alright. These distractions keep me up all night and when I do eventually fall asleep, I sleep all day. I've never felt more alone then I do now. I'm alright. I'm constantly chasing that next high, in whatever form it takes. My destructive behaviors are only outweighed by my inaction. Sometimes its the cause. I'm alright. I fear that I may never be content. That I'll always be looking for what's next. I think that maybe if I just stay here, in this clearly awful position in life, that it'll justify my unwillingness to move forward cause if I do, then I'll just be unhappy in a better position and drag those around who I brought with me, down. I'm alright. So even when everything is all wrong, I'll just say. I'm alright.

It was your guilt
And inability to accept yourself as you really are
It was your need to be better than me
And unwillingness to try very hard
To do it by merit
So it was your insults and instigations and accusations
And your denial
It was your projections and devaluations
And if ever you did go that extra mile
Your triangulations and smear campaigns
It was setting your traps just to get a reaction
Turning up your nose when you caught me again
It was your manipulations and your slight of hand
It was always you
Such a master of disaster
That even when it was me, it's still true
So why it is that I
Am the one who has been discarded
For the naïve flavor of somebody else
Why it's I who am left broken hearted
While you continue on, still in love with yourself
Why you got the pleasure and I got the pain
Is something I fear no-one familiar with justice
Could aptly explain

Compromise is only a weakness between
two people who are unwilling to work together.
I dwell on this statement. Just what does it mean?
Well, if with another you refuse to work,
I would have to say it’s very clear
your unwillingness makes you one big jerk.

The mirror calling deepest
is the one that you avoid
Images run left then right
your back turned paranoid
Unwillingness to turn around
in fear of what you’ll see
Illusion as your proffered choice
—reflection waits unseen

EVERYBODY screaming for solutions
we all know how unaware politicans are
we all know how God love us all
We can change the world
People starving from confusion
mothers with babies they cannot feed
fathers who cannot find a job
We can change the world
We're all complicit
because we can change the world
its a spirit of unwillingness today
And it's today and not alright
So let's change the world
older people say this is wrong
younger ones say teach me
The solution is within your heart
no, not above clouds
so we all bleed and cry
Put away the gun and hatred
Put away acrid words of the devil
We can change the world
A world inside a class
a teacher who hasn't shown
up for teaching evolution
Let's get this right!
Alright? Okay yea.
It's the constitution.
Bill of Rights.
The blood our fathers and
mothers bled for us to scream out!
Anyhow you know it'll be alright.
Children crying. Grown ones cower.
How my God it's not right.

Absent Fire
Where did you go my fervent fire?
Your absence leaves much to be desired.
Let not darkness come within your camp,
and you have not oil within your lamp.
My igniting love, you often resist,
as my appeal for love persists.
Flames now grow faint, and flickering low.
The coming darkened skies now grow.
The watchmen warns skies growing gray,
As the pending darkness now gives way.
Hearts gone cold, as consciences seared,
The wolves in the night, fill hearts with fear.
My Word to light your path to see,
An outed fire draws the enemy,
For the ready bride I will return,
With trimmed lamps lit with fires that burn.
With the cares of this world, be not consumed,
Watching and waiting for your groom.
Please awake, and return, with eternal flame,
To miss my coming will leave you shame.
Death arrests with unwillingness to depart,
Like death cold stops the beating heart.
Keep your love light strong with burning desire,
Let there never be an absent fire.
