Life's Lessons

Word's when spoken 
And heart's when broken
Are the hardest thing to repair

Be gentle with your words
And always handle with care

I fall I rise picking my words
Warm and wise

I'm living and learning with
Each chapter I've been turning 

I've been hurt but I'm alive
Taking each painful experience 
in stride

I've learned
You must hurt in order to know
You must fall in order to grow
Lose in order to gain cuz life's greatest 
lessons Are learned through pain

State of Healing

Lying in bed with so much on her mind

Look a little closer, 

And a broken angel is all you'll find. 

Her mental illness  is a losing war she can't win

Look at her scars dancing on her skin

What is it that takes over her brain

Sometimes happy 

Sometimes overly insane

It's begining to rain

The storm is here 

As she shuts down

Clutching her pain

Another form of misguidance

Brings her to her fears

The love she had inside has disappeared

She  becomes so cold hearted and unfeeling, To justify her mental state of healing.

Dark Place

Nobody knows the place I'm in
Or all the dark days there's been. 

God please help me
And forgive my sins, 
I need help cuz I can't keep this in. 

For some time I've been on my own, 
Struggling so I'll tell you about it in my poem. 

I can't  admit I've been crying, 
Smoking and feel like dying. 

Trying to find my peace
I don't know who I am or what my purpose is, Or why my brain resurfaced this. 

I need to go for a while and handle my life, In my own style. 

I have extreme fear of abandonment 

And I'm trying to hide it

I gotta go I'm crumbling even though I'm running I'm stumbling. 

Everyone has become a stranger, 
But I have to go so I don't blame them. 

I know someday I'll be ok, 
I'll be fine what else can I say. 

Still Looking for better days.

Venting

I lay awake at night 
And I think my thoughts are
Relentless 
I need a moment to breath
I needed a moment to vent this

Your Suicide

I wanted the knife to find me

But it was you that fell to the floor

Your blood surrounds  me

It cornered me into the door

There you lay in front of me

She stopped shaking to breathe her last breath

I couldn't even blink

Only stare into my new found

Distorted despair

Smile Through Fear

Time to get back on your feet

Life has knocked you down hard

Rise above and never accept defeat

Don't be afraid to smile through your pain

And embrace your fears

Take life's challenge  and better your ways

And I promise

Your pain will slowly disappear
