They

They fill that void

When I’m feeling hollow

They bring me joy

When i think I have none

They amaze me everyday

With how they’ve grown

They make me stop and take notice

With they how they interact with the world

They make happy

They make me sad

They make angry

They make my life matter

They’re stronger than me

They teach me 

They reach me when nobody else can

They wake me up

When I’m asleep in this world 

They give give me purpose

When I can’t find one

They

Are my world

They

Are my daughters

I love you, ladies.

Green Clouds

I walked

Up hills, over fallen trunks

Through rustled leaves,

and bars of trees

Branches breaking, 

Due glistening 

Through the thickest of nature

And into an emerald sea

Soft as clouds

Under each step

Sounds were silent

Wind blowing it seemed

So far away

I sat 

I took it in 

Breathed it

I could stay here

Sleep

Awake in a new world 

—————————————

I live in my head 

I understand my emotions

I comprehend my thoughts

I can dissect my feelings

But, I live in my head

I’m lost in the past

I’ve painted a picture

Of I life that I had

And I long for a return

Or a new beginning

That’s attached to before

My heart feels less

My life less full

And yet I hold on

And refuse the future

And I live in my head

——————————-

Not done yet

With beauty all around me

I sat and took it all in

I stared for what seemed like forever

I closed my eyes and just listened

The wind in the trees was all I heard

The sun shone down over me

I placed my rifle before me

Tested out the distance

I pointed it at my heart

And reached down for the trigger

It was all set to go

But I hadn’t loaded the gun

It’s not quite my time

And not for me to end

I’ll live another day

I’ll fight another fight

I’ll piece my life back together.

And try to get you…no

Try to get me

Back
