Gratitude

God's blessings abound in many ways...
waking me up at the start of a brand new day.
sight to see all the beauty that surrounds me. Grace and mercy
to sustain me along the days journey.

Silent Pain

They hear but are they actually listening

Silence so loud it's deafening

Scars invisible to the naked eye

Covering the truth with polluted lies
Camouflaging the hurt
bandaging the pain all the while
going insane.

Reality

REALITY

Need a break from my reality. If only I could pack my bags, have a full tank of gas and put the pedal to the medal never thinking twice about looking back. Reality strikes yet another hard blow knocked down hard blood visible staggering on the rise.  Having no definite plan this should come as no surprise. Over a decade of defeat got more years behind than ahead of me.  Wasted so much time stuck here in this territory of my commonplace it's hard to even fathom leaving, but it is most definitely time for a change of scenery yet what do you do when your broke and have no resources to resort to??? This definitely wasn't how it was suppose to be and it's totally driving me crazy!!!! In need of an escape from my reality!!!!

Rant...

D*mned if I do and d*mned if I don't... just d*mned.
This novella h*lla long and I'm tired of hearing the same ole
sad song.
Trapped like a mouse in a maze dead end at every turn.
This scenery is way to familiar.
Helllllooooo echos back because nobody really hears me.
Pent up frustration volcanic tendencies. What would happen if I
would actually have a melt down???
 I can put on a facade with the best of them yet
deep down inside rage, hurt and pain are festering.
Who really authentically cares?

Came face to face with this situation before.

Went from closed door to closed door.

It’s hard to shout in the hallway

when feeling down trodden and

in a state of dismay.

Ambitions fade as photographs

left in the sun to long.

Over and over the answer comes

back just be strong.

Made it this far just can’t

quit now It won’t be this way forever.

Keep pressing forward don’t

look back, where feelings of doubt

creep in to create a stumbling block,

bruised knees and all prove them wrong.

So go check the back of the book once again

because in the end victory reigns it’s

a win win!!!

Day-2 ~Personal Challenge~ Pains Response

Pains Response

Pain intensified camouflaged with a smile
All the while festering deep down in the abyss
amplifying echoing against the darkened hallows
suppressed by a ballad covering up tearful arias
A heaviness straining to breach the restraint that
conflicts with the chorus that resounds from within
the confines that desolation tried to leave.

Reflections

Reflections

Memories vast overflowing sprinkled with mementos
summers laced with Dixie cups and camp fire sing a longs
carefree disposition untainted wandering
A time when bonds were strong.
Childhoods flame blazes rekindled by
picturesque reflections.
