I am inspired today.

I am inspired to write,

each and every day.
To re-tell my story,
ensure I have a say.

A lover of peace,

fighter of injustice.
Paving that road,
reaching for solace.

Is it pre destined?

My path in light
Believe unyieldingly,
equality is in sight.

The toil, the struggle,

it’s worth every tear.
To ensure humanity,
steps out of it’s fear.

 

I said. I did. But what of you?

I said I would be there to support you

To hold your hand

As times became tougher

I promised that I would wait in the wings

while you went off and lived your life

and I sat by the window, dying inside

I told you, you were perfect

Kind, gentle, loving, loyal

as I felt unwanted, unloved, unworthy

Where are you now?

when I need your support?

Do you feel my pain?

When is it my time

to benefit from your patience?

from your understanding?

Will you ever tell me I’m good enough?

forget yourself, your troubles

appreciate whats right in front of you?

Light vs Darkness

I wonder if there really is

such a thing as seeing the light
An overarching sense of justice
simply telling us it’s alright

Are we just ultimately ruled

by kindness and all things nice
but wasn’t it just yesterday
I heard that lie uttered twice

Is there a true sense of love

that guides our everyday actions
Or do we just follow the dance
of such misguided infractions

Will we ever see the day
when love trumps all hate
but bitterness engulfs so sweetly
we again offer ourselves up as bait

Was it all just a game?

Looking back at life
I dare to ponder
what joys were had
& will be in the yonder

My tears are a river
brimming over the side
my heart in pieces
will my sadness abide

I believed in it all
Trusted you were the one
You lied & played me
till the day we were done

Did you ever have remorse
for the games you played
or was I just a pawn
in your sickening charade?

I want, I will.

I want to be happy
not to be sad
I want to be content
not to be agitated
I want to know peace
not inner turmoil
I want to be stable
not to be anarchical

I want to know joy
rather than pain
I want to know love
rather than heartbreak
I want to trust
rather than doubt
I want to believe
rather than question

I will be happy
I will be content
I will know peace
I will be stable

I will know joy
I will know love
I will trust
I will believe

Ambition

Try to write then don’t stop

make sure to keep going
Ensure it doesn’t all flop
The tides must be turning
You feel it in your bones
that forever yearning
Stay away from the drones
who poison your learning

Step out from that daze

who lethargy does taint
To then tame the maze
the future you did paint
The world at your feet
you can envision it all
Don’t miss a single beat
To then yield that call

What of love?

Then what of love
of whispers in the rain
that of fleeting romances
of believing in vain

That lovestruck feeling
the misgivings of lust
floating on that cloud
of unwavering trust

Then hand it over
your heart on a plate
the anticipation building
cruely robbed by fate

That gut-wrenching pain
springing from deep within
return to me dear misery
of which I am but akin
