An understanding embrace
Will not alleviated your fears
It let's you know that I care.
Through the shattered pieces
I'll help you find a smile
At the end of your tears.....
Of
Fragmented:
So fragile
But appear to be strong
Cause all my life I've put up a wall
To try and escape how I really feel.....
*Handle Me With Care*
~~~~~~
Circumstantially
It's difficult for me, not to
Internalize another individuals pain
Listening - Refrain
The need to explain
What I've already been through
Knowing
A heart immersed in disdain
Is deaf to the voice of truth
Blind to reason
Pleading - Yearning - Fighting - Believing
What's no longer
Meant to be
Prolonging what's already gone
Feeling
Their woe's
Passionately
I've journeyed there Before....
A Lesson Through Life (Peace Of Mind)
Written: August 7, 2006
There was a time I was
fixated
On the world knowing my
truth
Hurt by the lies spread to
discredit
What was only my point of
view
Spent numerous hours
consumed
In the he said, she said
game
Only to be used
Giving those who disliked me
fame
By the mention of their
name
I allowed the same story to continue to
be told
With each breath and
utterance
They grasped a tighter hold
As my words were bold
But to those who knew me
Saw I spoke pain
With every word I rained on my accusers
I engulfed myself
In flames
Burning me
Not concerned with obvious
facts
The more I kept talking
Thinking through words
I'd reclaim myself back
I lost her during many
attacks
To my mental and spiritual
being
I lost her to lies, silence and turmoil
My soul was depleted
Yet, I'm still breathing
No longer seething to wreck
havoc
Was my plan
Vengeance is mine sayeth the
Lord
So I placed my heartache in his hands
Instinctively his demand
Was to go on with life
Pain isn't a sacrifice
Every valuable lesson comes with a
price
Without struggle you cannot
strive
Without loss you won't know
gain
Without dishonesty you won't know
truth
Without hardship you wouldn't strive to
maintain
Claiming
The best part
Of
you
Through dishonesty's pain
You strained to gain truth
Struggled the hardship
Losing
What was no longer
needed
In you
Every negative has a
reverse
NOTHING
In life comes easily
Either gain from it, or
Let it go.....

Falling down ain't falling down
If you don't cry
When you hit the floor.
