To understand one’s self, one must think
One must clear their mind
And analyze the being
Reflected through their eyes
And try to find the
Definition
Of the one
Who is
“Me”

I held it there at my fingertips
And I felt it slipping away.
Just moments before it fell
I had no words to say.
I gave it my all
And now I breathe.
Finally,
I am
Free

I hear a pleasant voice
So quiet and peaceful,
Beckoning for me to travel down this long corridor.
Offering its silent support
The voice whispered
“You are not alone like before”.
In an example of my trust
I followed the voice
Past the roar of flames.
Suffering in silence
The voice whispered
“Now who is to blame?”
Lost in disbelief
I plunged into my dilemma
Hoping I can overcome.
Stunned in silence
The voice whispered
“They forgive you for what you have done”.
This was a gigantic burden off my shoulders
And I realized I too had changed.
Beckoning for me to travel down this long corridor
The voice whispered in my ear,
“You have become a stronger person than before”
And then it disappeared.

Chocolate Roses
Covered with gentle kisses
Night has just begun

I approached my bed
Hoping to greet sleep
For my head was pounding
A headache stirred underneath
My vision had blurred
And tears ran down my cheeks
The nausea had crept in
And my stomach fell weak
Fatigue had failed me
I just couldn’t sleep
There was no other choice
I had to find relief
So to the kitchen I went
Following instincts
And found the cure within
A bottle of Rapid Release

Just for fun write after being food poisoned yesterday. Not a good time let me tell you.
I do not wish to live
To live amongst the majority
I wish to stand against the crowd
And leave a mark in history
A mark
However small
That will stand for all that’s left in me
Long after the hands have fallen still
I want you all to remember me
Remember me as I stood
As I stood for much more than me
I stood in hope
Rooted in dreams
Like the Legends before me
Legends who wielded a sword
Dulled, but braved their story
Who stood up for what they believed
And like them
I hope you remember me
Remember me as I speak
As I speak for those who cannot breathe
Remember me as I stand
As I stand for those who’ve fallen weak
Remember me for my mind
For my mind thought of more than me
And remember me for my words
For my words bled of poetry
Poetry that twisted the mind
To view the world through a set of eyes
Untainted by the painted lies
That also transcend through history
So remember me as I am
As I am but only me
No more, no less
Just simply me
Though some would say it was my nature
Borderline my destiny
To transcend well beyond the mind
And become much more than just a memory

Not always a ton to do at work. So while waiting around for a meeting that never happened to start (grrrrr) I decided to practice up on my photoshoping skills. So this is a picture I was working on to go along with my poem “Remember Me” that should be coming soon. Since I haven’t updated this in awhile, decided to give a teaser haha.
It’s like the fire that was lit within
Has dwindled,
Withered,
Faded to oblivion.
Leaving but a trace of who I was
Scattered across photos
My writings,
My loves.
I do not wish to pursue anything
No longer dream of a world
With all of us,
Together,
Peacefully living.
With no worries,
Just time,
Just a place to feel free.
I believed it were possible
If we made it a habit on our knees.
And all would be forgiven
And you’d live to see me succeed.
But for once I feel nothing
And truly feel lost.
Like I had to pay for my security
And you were the cost.
Been so long since a passing
Had hit so close to home.
And the memories keep replaying
Though my heart has grown cold.
Is it normal to feel angry?
Is it normal to feel alone?
Is it normal to blame Him
Even though you chose to go?
Grieving seems unhealthy
When they expect you to be strong.
But how can I hold this family up
If I can’t find the strength to move on?
