86'd

And just like that
she was healed -
anything remaining
was killed...

She held her head
up and high -
disregarding who
she should walk by...

No longer could
they control her day -
no longer did she
want them to stay...

Her journey is
quite nice and bright -
she sleeps at ease
every single night.

Blocks

Sometimes you have 
to let go of what's gone...

Sometimes you just
have to move on...

It might sting
or it just may bite...

But you have to give it
all your might...

You can't keep near
what is gone...

You just have to
move the hell on.

Shelf Space

 All I can ever
do is try -
even as the years
fly bye...

I give what I can
with each new day -
while I'm here
to live and say...

Try with all
your mighty might -
do what lets you
sleep well at night...

Speak the truth
and work each day -
to only bring
good things your way.

Open Windows

Keep your head down -
while you look around...

like the FBI -
an investigative spy...

keep it deep within -
don't let it out again...

years from now you'll sigh -
as this will have blown by.

Deleted

You just have
to let it go -
deep inside
you already know...

So do your plan
quite quietly -
you're in charge
of your destiny...

Maybe you did
and maybe not -
here and now
is all you've got...

Just keep on
keeping on -
until the memories
are gone.

Strike

You don't watch 
for the ball -
before it's pitched...

but when it comes
your way -
you hit as best you can...

It doesn't mean
a home run -
could end up in the dug out...

You could also
never even -
participate in the game.

Silence

Wrapped in a blanket
snow on the windows -
safe and secure...

The past is behind
like smoke from the fire -
making images blur...

Disappearing into the air
as though they were never there...
dancing ahead  -

While the hearth is warm
as the snow drips down -
and covers what is dead.

Shovels

From the inside
to the out -
it is time
without a doubt...

Step away
from any ding -
disappear
from anything...

Incognito
taped up shut -
no more eyes
filled with smut...

It will be silent
for quite a while -
as time buries
this messed up pile.

Mirrored Glass

Yes you
know what to do -
it's time to do
what you need to...

You know how
to draw those blinds -
and leave it all
far behind...

You can't keep
reliving the days -
while floating through
the dust and haze...

You have done it
many times before -
cut those lines
and lock the door.

Good Riddance

I won't hide
or live in more fear -
Just like everyone else
I belong here...

I have my challenges
I have my gifts -
No longer will I
give a shit...

Say what you want
do what you will -
I really don't care
how anyone feels...

When it comes to
my life and my choices -
no longer do I have
to hear their voices...

Or even ever
see their faces -
It's amazing what
time erases.

Selfies

There's a love
within my arms -
that I welcome
with all charms...

I have many
that I love -
I have the life
that I dreamed of...

Those ladies
who had the tea -
who knew someday
that would be me...

Yet, I'm content 
and so happy -
to share my life
with who loves me!

Court Yards

I'm happy here
as I watch the rain -
through my office
window pane...

Each day I'm here
with a great view -
I've found peace from
what I went through...

I have privacy
away from the crazy  -
I don't have to work
for the lazy...

No one is pulling me
in all directions -
No haughty eyes
without self reflections...

I was drowning
and found a life raft -
I am happily content
just where I'm at.

Early Mornings

I can only do
the best that I can do...

While I beg and pray to God
that my dreams come true...

We all have scars
insecurities and regrets...

We just have to understand
we haven't got there yet...

Because when we realize
how we shine so bright...

We leave behind the doubt
that keeps us up at night.

Cages

I really love when
I have no place to be...

When my daily schedule
is up to me...

When I can work out
or take a little nap...

When I can shop or
have lunch where I'm at...

I excel with freedom
outside of those men...

I will never go back
to life back then.

Goals

When motivation strikes
live off the explosion -
as you watch bad habits
fall into erosion...

You got this
as no one else can -
living your best life
again and again...

Don't be afraid
to challenge yourself -
be your own coach
and you own self help...

Then sit back
proud of what you did -
from putting in that effort
each day that you live.

Rescued

If someone walks
out of your life -
let them go on and go...

Sometimes
there are people -
You don't need to know...

Once some time
has passed -
you will feel relieved...

There are
too many liars -
who choose only to deceive...

Notice how you feel
when there is nothing -
left to say...

Rejoice when them
with their negativity -
have finally gone away.

Rocky Foundations

Why didn't I go
with my instincts back then -
because I've relived it
again and again...

I found out things
I never should have known -
while doing my best
all on my own...

So many times
I wanted to flee -
I always have to wonder
why me...

Now here it is
completely a lie -
an empty feeling
that can never die.

Stages

Sometimes when
the seasons blow through -

I sit alone
and think of you...

I miss those days
when you were there...

Even though you're gone
I still care...

and hope you're happy
where you are now...

Maybe some day
we'll meet again somehow.

Cross Roads

You know
what to do -
when the pathway
goes through...

You hide
and stay away -
from that hate
that's there to stay...

You run
and don't look back -
then there won't
be an attack...

you'll be
so far away -
it will be a
memory anyway.

Sun Shine

Let the
tranquility -
relax
inside of me...

Focus on
all the growth -
rising above
and being woke...

Know the
end of this -
is golden streets
of utter bliss.
