Breakable

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
