With Laughter And Smiles Instead

Secluded inside her head

Alone, with people around her

Searching inside instead 

For what, she’s not quite sure

The endless loop of thoughts

Rarely good, generally bad

It seems they’re all she’s got

She finds her circumstances sad

Always flashing in her mind

Continuously pulling her down 

Her internal voice should be kind

Not one that knocks her to the ground 

She desperately needs this to end

But she’s unsure of what to do

Awareness is her friend

It’s the first step in getting through

These thoughts she wants to end

To start all fresh and new

So much energy she expends

Worrying about me and you

She puts herself down

She calls herself names

No wonder she always frowns

It’s time to stop these games

To stop caring what others think

Soon these negative thoughts will be gone

She’s just hanging on the brink

Ready to halt the voice that is always on

To kick that voice out of her head

To live a joy and love filled life

With laughter and smiles instead

No longer filled with strife!

Argh…

Another night with an empty brain,

I don’t know what to write again!

It makes me crazy when nothing comes!

I search my brain, find only crumbs.

I sit here just as blank as can be,

Waiting for something to come to me.

Of course nothing is, nothing at all!

I gave up trying to just stall.

Instead I’m honestly telling you,

I have absolutely nothing new!

So for now this is all that you get.

I’ll do better next time, I bet!

Won’t Win Me Acclaim 

Running out of words today,

Not really sure what to say.

Spent the day with Mom and Dad,

They are well, not sad or bad!

So far this is really lame,

This one won’t win me acclaim!

I can’t keep my eyes open,

Which makes it hard to cope-man!

That didn’t really rhyme well,

I’m so tired, can’t you tell??

So now I’m going to sleep.

Oh, these hours that I keep…

All Is Right In The World

Lying on her back

Staring at the night sky 

She absorbs the darkness

The darkness absorbs her

It draws her in

She is surrounded by the night

So black that she can’t tell

Where she ends 

And the night begins

She feels at one with the universe

Sensing the power

That connectedness that comes

When you feel the energy

Flowing in you, through you

And all around you

She knows she can do anything

If she can only find a way

To continue matching her vibration 

With that of the universe 

She thanks the creator 

For everything that she has

For all that she is

For all that will be

It is during these precious moments 

That she knows

She is right where she is meant to be

There is no wanting or needing

There are no complaints or worries

Everything is right

There are no mistakes

There are lessons 

There are experiences

There is life

Which is the purest miracle of all

Lying on her back

Staring at the night sky

She knows

All is right in the world

Come Back Home

Alone she sits

Staring out the window 

Wondering if 

He’ll ever come back home

Filled with hope

Not wanting to give in

Certain that

He will come back home 

Time passed

Her loneliness increases

She questions herself

And if he’ll come back home

Still she sits

Not ready to give up

Trusting that

He’ll come back home

All of her friends

Tell her to move on

They’re sure that 

He’ll never come back home

Still she sits 

Staring down the driveway

Watching for his car

To finally come back home

She sits still

Staring in the mirror 

Wondering why

He hasn’t come back home

She sits on the front porch

Thinking about him

Doubting that 

He’ll ever come back home

Out with friends

She sees him with another

Their eyes meet, and she knows 

He will never come back home

Alone she sits

Staring out the window 

A car pulls in the driveway 

A new man has come 

To take her back home

He sits in her driveway

Wondering where she is

But, he took too long

To finally come back home…

{This does not apply to me personally. It is just what came out tonight…}

Lost Track Of Time 

I had a long day and lost track of time

I forgot all about coming up with a rhyme 

Now it’s late and I’m going to bed

I have no words left in my head

Some days I find it a bit of a struggle 

To find something to say amidst all the muddle 

Some days I barely have to think 

The words just flow as if from a sink

But tonight I’m blank, nothing is flowing 

So I guess that soon I’d better be going 

Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be more on the ball

Because writing stuff like this sucks, all in all

So until tomorrow I say goodnight 

Hopefully everyone sleeps alright 💤💤

Rhymes With Tonight…

I’m stuck tonight 

Don’t know what to write 

Makes me feel up-tight

My brain won’t turn on the light

I won’t give up without a fight

This likely won’t delight

But there’s really no wrong or right

I’m trying with all my might

But nothing seems to want to ignite

So I warn you that this will probably bite

It won’t come close to taking flight

Don’t worry, it’s alright 

I have good nights and some fill me with fright

Who knew so many words rhymed so airtight

I feel like flying a kite

But it’s far too late at night

My neighbors may think I’m crazy outright 

If so I hope they’d feel contrite 

Despite this being out of sight

I may just have to call it a night

I think it’s time to expedite 

The speed of this to the speed of light

So farewell and goodnight 

Until tomorrow when I write

Her Beautiful Spirit 

Grace followed in her wake.

Her presence made you stronger!

A flower blossom wasn’t as sweet!

Her soul would linger longer…

Her smile could tame a thousand men!

But she’d never use it as a ploy.

Her eyes shone brighter than the sun.

Her laughter filled the room with joy!

Yet, above all else was her spirit, 

It danced and sang with the sun!

It would simply attract you to her. 

Being near her was second to none!

She just plain shone as if within,

You’d find a shining light!

God worked through her in miraculous ways,

She’d draw you toward his light!

The Twinge

At first it’s light,

Not much to show.

Then there’s some more,

It’s about to go!

That first small twinge,

Is there to warn.

Pain is coming,

It blows it’s horn!

I must prepare.

Get set to fight!

I’ll likely have, 

The pain all night.

Without that twinge,

I wouldn’t know,

Pain’s on it’s way,

Soon it will show.

And sure enough,

My face screams out!

The pain is here,

Without a doubt.
