Pin Pricked

This house is up for debate.

Shall we ice skate around our issues,
or are you ready to face reality?

Reality is just what it states; real life.

I don't mean reality;
as in manufactured problems,
and glamorized situations.

It's the cold you feel in your bones,
on a snowy day.

The aches and pains,
as your body heats up,
and re-lubricates itself.

The scorch of a hot oven,
as you remove that fresh baked pie,
you end up dropping to the floor.

Instead of sweeping it up,
you pause and stare at the mess,
contemplating suicide.

The dogs rush to the scene of the crime,
gobble up the remnants of your hard work,
only to throw up the liquid hot center,
and devour it all over again.

These my friend,
are examples of reality.

Beauty and simplicity,
pin pricked,
and torn to shreds.

Affirmation

Heal my heart,
take my pain,
loosen my lips,
so it's not in vain.

Guard my soul,
love take flight,
for I wish to get through this night.

I've often wished,
hoped and prayed,
for joyous moments,
to come and stay.

Bless this day,
prayer hands tight,
so I can love,
with all my might.

Kiss Today Goodbye

My heart bleeds out
as I gasp for air.

I'm emotionally crippled,
and manipulated into staying still.

My soul cries out in agony.

Can't you see what you've done?

To live your life in a bubble,
to hit repeat day after day,
sends a signal to my antenna,
that this isn't right for me.

I can no longer deny my desire to live free.

I am me.

Free spirited,
soul tormented,
independently optimistic,
but most importantly love lorn.
