Pieces

Falling to pieces thinking of you,

what did I say, what did I do?

Where have you gone to, why did you run?

Remember you told me that I was the one?

Falling to Pieces counting the years,

planning a future, fighting back tears.

Nothing the same now , everything changed,

how can I do this, its all rearranged.

Falling to pieces, I'm on shaky ground,

A love that was strong, nowhere to be found.

Now that you left me, with holes in my heart,

this life is so different, I'm falling apart.

You wont keep me down, no I wont let you win,

when one love is over a new one begins.

The light is extinguished, I'm left in the dark,

I pick up those pieces and look for a spark.

I fight through the tears, and those cuts that run deep,

the promises made that you just could not keep.

So now I must put that love up on a shelf,

 and learn not to love you but still love myself.

Friends

A friend that’s a friend through the ages of time,

will always be there through the rain or the shine.

A true friend will help you if ever you fall, 

yes, a friend that is true will be there through it all.

Sometimes you may argue and others you fight,

at the end of the day you make everything right. 

Nobody is perfect, you will disagree,

these things make you stronger in time you will see.

The strongest of friendships, will stand thorough it all,

the drama the heartache the pain and the fall.

You will rise above it new love will be found,

if that friendship is true you will keep them around.

For once it is real you will see it can't end,

if true love is shared you will be timeless friends.

Unique

You're one of a kind, there's no one quite like you,

in all that you are and all that you do.

Touching each soul as you travel this land,

Lives will be changed by the touch of your hand.

The joy and that courage, the strength that you share,

make a difference to others when life seems unfair.

So carry yourself like the gift that you are,

in darkest of nights, you're the brightest of stars.

When the world may seem normal, so dull and oblique,

You're making it better, because you are unique.

The Curse

Sometimes I feel cursed when it all falls apart,

when everything breaks, leaving holes in my heart.

The damage is done how I need a new start,

so I pick up whats left of those dreams that depart.

I try and catch up yet am falling behind,

with so much at stake it just shatters my mind.

I need to stay focused I must not go blind,

in a world that’s so cruel that it leaves you confined.

It seems like the end when it can't get much worse,

with all of the battles I need to disburse.

This pain that I'm facing somehow I'll reverse,

I will win this fight, yes I must break this curse.

Believe In Yourself

Believe in yourself, like only you can,

it starts in your mind and ends in your hand,

If you say you can't then you never will,

when you say you're sick that’s how you will feel.

If you say you're tired, your energy drains,

when you say that hurts, your mind will bring pains.

Your brain is amazing believe in this fact,

it is not a rumor, a lie or an act.

Just turn off the world and sit with your mind,

focus on that which your heart long to find.

Freedom from finance, or love and great health,

will all be achieved if you believe in yourself.

The Walk

The Walk

I take a walk to clear my head,

from hurt, despondence, pain and dread.

The mundane tasks of daily life,

form struggles, stress and sacrifice.

The crisp fresh air, the cool wind blow,

send calmness to my very soul.

The crickets chirp, the night owl hoot,

the rocks that crackle, 'neath my boot.

Somehow it seems to cure this stress,

when life seems like its quite a mess.

With every step and every stride,

I feel the healing deep inside.

The stars that twinkle up above,

remind me of this earthly love.

For I'm a dot, a speck in time,

a piece of a puzzle, so vast and sublime.

My worries they fade and those thoughts disappear,

as I think back on life and all of its years.

What troubles me now will soon fade away,

because time does not stop and those feelings don’t stay.

When I'm feeling helpless and don’t wish to talk,

I lace up my boots for a cool evening walk.

The Mirror

The Mirror

I start every day with pain on my face,

from tossing and turning for rest I must chase.

I walk to the sink and it fills me with dread,

I can't bear to look so I bow down my head.

I reach for my brush and it runs thru my hair,

as I'm fighting anger, confusion despair.

Anxiety grips me as I start to shake,

my head fills with wonder from every mistake.

My eyes feel so glassy from tears I have cried,

these hands are so shaky from numbness inside.

A tear starts to form so I sniffle my nose,

my fist starts to clench as I'm curling my toes.

I feel so damn tense am I loosing my grip?

I just want to scream as my thoughts take a trip.

A journey of madness so deep in my mind,

of a life I once lived that has left me behind.

I finally look up at the face that a see,

a vision, a shadow, of who I should be.

This person, this stranger this shell that I am,

a fragment of someone that once gave a damn.

This battle Is real, but it helps me see clearer,

when I see that face, watching me in that mirror.
