Memories

Feel no guilt in laughter for she knew how much we cared
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is no longer here to share 
For it’s the memories that will keep her here
In our hearts and always near 

So remember it all 
The good times that were had
To never be forgotten,
For all of it we are glad 

All memories kept safe and held so dear
Grandma you were so special; to me, you will always be here 
For the places I see and the places I go 
Always a happy memory of you will show

A Lovers Pain

For I feel my heart breaking 
every careless day we see
Here I am standing 
but you show no care for me 

I have heard the words of progress 
but seen no action done
My ears are growing tired now 
These lies are no longer fun 

I know I deserve better
and so why do I stay? 
This torture my heart is feeling 
telling me to find a better way 

But love is not rational 
so here I remain
Another day might start hopeful 
by the night there’s only pain

The Butterfly

A shell I was in
I think this will begin
My journey to the sky 
For before I was so shy 
On ground I was so slow
But now, I feel these wings grow

Today I stare below
At the ground I used to know 
While flying so high 
Into this unknown sky 
Why do I miss it so?

Headspace

Why is this head so dark 
Inside, I can’t even seem to find a spark 
No movement or care
For it’s best to not be aware 

Of what’s really going on up there

Dying Light

In this dying light, the night has never looked so beautiful
The shadows that can hide the hurt become larger than life itself
I could live here at peace, knowing that the darkness will protect and keep me;
But it is a place I must not stay too long for the sun will always rise again. 
Another beautiful day to miss because I do not feel I belong there. 
Shadows are hard to find and no longer am I shrouded in the protection I know. 
I must be a person of the light now. 
Putting on a mask until I am safe again; in darkness and peace.

Tired is My State of Mind

When waking up feels just as hard as trying to sleep you wonder where the irony is
Maybe if you could think straight you would see it 
But the lack of sleep keeps the full colours of life at bay
A monotone world like an old black and white movie… but they’re seen as romantic right 
If only this could feel that way
Instead it is a daily struggle between thoughts you should be having and those that just love to be there 
No benefit at all; just a dull nagging
You’d think with all the hours you’re awake you might be able to be productive 
Maybe that’s the irony agin. 
What happens when your waking world turns to sleep
Like a snowflake trying to make it to ground in a hurricane 
A constant battle against losing, knowing the inevitability of what’s to come
Tired of being awake but exhausted with the effort of trying to fall asleep

A New Wind

When you change like a new wind taking force too often, 
it is inevitable that you will lose yourself. 
Not knowing the true person that is inside. 
Decisions are folly now; ones I toy with and reassemble. The building is a distraction…because if you build something it’s achievement right? 
But what if you’re building, knowing that it will be torn down by yourself all too soon 

Another challenge to focus on

The Climb

You see when I climb; I am not looking up
I am counting every step that I could fall past on my way down

Listen

My body knew I’d stopped loving you before my head and heart
You see the head sees logic and the heart love. 
But the body, well, the body feels. 
Love can be blind and your head overthinking. 
But feeling is energy and yours is deadly. Deadly silence and deadly actions. 
My body knows how to protect and it’s telling me to 
stay away 
from you.
