Discard

It comes once a week
not needed and used...

It's loud and not pretty
tossed out and abused...

It's looked down upon
thrown out with the rest...

It's pushed away rudely
not considered the best...

It's taken for granted
no care if it's gone...

and so it goes freely
when it's time to move on.

Next

Yes you do know
what to do -

you know it

through and through...

It's already been

done before -

I don't want to

do it anymore...

Sitting in
and staring out -
more things you

can do without...

Don't get up

to fall back down -

your steps will be 

the final sound.

Balloons

The day the parade
went away...

It never existed
back in the day...

It was a fragment
of the mind...

That faded and
disappeared over time...

There were never
any funny clowns...

Just hidden illusions
to let you down...

Pretend it's all
been one bad dream...

Things are really never
as they seem.

Barriers

Sitting and
just looking out -
dealing with
inner self doubt...

Will there be
a brighter day -
when the storms
all go away...

Stuck in
the same routine -
that doesn't even
mean a thing...

I wonder where
this will lead -
and when the chains
will all be freed.

Bruised

Don't let
it stop you -
do what you
need to do...

Keep on going
for the win -
accidents will
happen again...

Laugh it off
heal your wound -
work will pay off
really soon...

Hold your head
cure yourself -
you are your
only help.

Books

As they went
so shall we -
so shall you
and so shall me...

All of it
just swept away -
no more night
and no more day...

Such is fleeting
such is pain -
eventually 
nothing will remain...

All is done
no more strife -
no more future
no more life.

Bound

Cry when you
need to cry -
when you have questions
ask yourself why...

Be careful who
you open up to -
most people don't 
care about you...

Leave regrets
where they should be -
then take back
your own dignity...

Nothing that's here
will last that long -
believe in yourself
and remain strong.

Dawn

You know what

you need to do -

to become a much

better you...

Only you 

hold the key -

with the choices

how to be...

Feeling better

and relieved -

no more being

falsely deceived...

From the choices

that you chose -

while learning

to live with those.

Darkness

Why oh why
do I do it again -
I wish I could go
back to when...

This wasn't even
a part of me -
now I know
and plainly see...

It shouldn't be
part of my life -
with my own hands
I twist the knife...

realizing how
I never will -
I'm choosing that
and to heal.

Meadows

Playgrounds 

only seen 

from the outside looking in...-

No chance to ride

the ferris wheel

no races to win...

Walking alone
beside the tracks

the long train rolls by...

As the laughter

drifts away

I believe the lie.

Leaves

Sitting around
feeling quite down -

No one needs to know...

All alone
inside my home -

with nowhere to go...

The silent tears

and hidden fears -

break my heart sometimes...

Those days that past
and didn't last -

get me every time.

Windows

How can it
be full -
when it's empty...

How can you 
you starve -
when there's plenty...

How can it 
be good -
when it's bad...

How can you 
smile wide -
when you're sad...

How can you
reach high -
when you're low...

How do you
face reality -
that you know.

Trophy

I saw another place
I wanted to see -
I've taken my life back
living for me...

Rid of what I
didn't like anyway -
No one to control
any part of my day...

I am so free
and can clearly see -
I'll never again be
where I don't want to be.

Blooms Are Coming

It's that time
to come to life again...

I feel so happy
like I did back then...

The weather is warm
as the sun shines bright...

The days will last
into the warm night..

Spring and summer
is life for me...

I am content
and so happy!

Delete

Let go

and let God -
isn't that what they say...

I wanna

understand -

how to believe that way...

He gave

us a brain -
expecting us to use it...

Not just

a free pass -

and then to abuse it...

So many

just don't care -
taking the easy way...

I see

what's clear to me -

while pushing them away.

My Valentine

It's snowing in Texas
big flakes coming down -
a perfect day for romance
and laying around...

I'm baking some cupcakes
and making good food -
flowers, candy and candles
are setting the mood...

Loving and cuddling 
this cold day away -
Watching funny movies
staying warm where we lay...

Enjoying the beauty
with a white window view -
fur babies close by
sharing my love with you!

Grapes

I don't feel
loved by you -
I feel hated
through and through...

Boundaries
don't abound -
Someday soon
I won't be around...

I just don't know
why I do -
I regret the moment
that I met you.

Rope

Get that shovel
to dig that hole -
once again
hide like a mole...

It is time
to start brand new -
I don't know really
what to do...

Hands tied tight
stuck together -
Insecurities
that aren't sure ever...

Hide away
like you always do -
and avoid them all
it's nothing new.

Empty

Have you ever felt
two inches tall -
like you don't even
matter at all...

Where people can't 
treat you right -
where the world is dark
without any light...

You'd run away if 
you had somewhere to go -
but there is no point
and you feel so low...

So all you do is
exist through the day -
wondering how
it ended up this way.

Prioritize

Let it all go
roll off your back -
Turn it all off
fade to black...

Don't hold on to
past irritations -
enjoy your life
take some vacations...

Dismiss the people
who bring you down -
get rid of who and what
should not be around...

Ghost when needed
hold close what is true -
follow your own path
do what's good for you.
