Blue

There once was an elderly woman staring out a window from inside her house.

The streets were blanketed in snow and the flakes made it difficult for her to see.

She sat so still, as if in a trance.

Her pain radiated.

She was a functioning shell.

Generosity, empathy, and humanity had long been beaten out of her.

Every morning began the same.

A pot of herbal tea to soothe the soul.

The sun teasing it's return, until it decides to abandon her completely.

Her life running on repeat, until the happiest memories dissolve with each loop.

Like the snow covered trees outside, she could feel the weight of their cold white blankets.

So she continued to stare.

Her mind clear.

Her body ready.

Her heart closed. 












 

Fire Fighter

The fire in my belly is just waiting to be released.

Just try and look at my funny,
or do some stupid shit behind my back.

Lies only get you so far,
until the truth cuts you open from the inside,
and forces itself out for all to see.

I used to be afraid of the flames,
until I learned I was a phoenix. 

Live and Let Go

Little girl,
why so sad?

You have everything you always wanted,
yet, you're never satisfied?

Why let the dark take you away in the night?

There is so much to be grateful for,
yet you hide beneath those mood stabilizers.

Every night I rest my head,
I pray you'll joyfully awake.

Think of all you've done,
and all you have yet to see.

We've all been scorned and love lost,
but it's these occurrences that remind us that the sand is almost out.

You are loved.

You are blessed.

Don't wait until your final hour,
for the regret to set in.

I'm Not Ever Going Back

Sad stories,
are the only ones we hear.

The good can't resonate,
like painful tears.

We judge,
discriminate.

Hate,
and eliminate.

Be humble,
be proud,
darkness always gets its comeuppance.
