The Journey

Once or twice
I've been told
Anything worth holding
Comes with a price
Nothing comes easy
No good thing comes free
A few things come quickly
But even sooner,
They leave
Still..
All that I'm asking
Is a little piece
Of easy

I've lived my life
I've lived theirs too
Loved only a couple
Heartbroken a few
I've stood tall to who I am
I've bowed down
At the feet of a boy
Who only pretended to be a man
I've stayed nights crying alone,
Sometimes without reason
I've made myself laugh in a crowd of silence
I laugh when I fall
I believe in the man who raised me to be
Everything that I am
So why is it so much to ask
For a little piece of easy
Why is it so hard to find
Inner Peace and Peace of Mind?
Because none of the above comes,
Without you... The Journey.

She vs. Me vs. You

Following forward motions

No more than a continuance of yesterday

Picking up where we left off-

Before sleep, if you can call it that

A blank stare... From the both of us
I could so easily love you
With eyes closed,
Only you come to mind
Smiling in adoration
The corners of my lips mimic yours
This is where she hides me
In plain sight
Because if I can't find the courage
To love myself,
Without fear...
How could you?
Silence grows from the floor up
Like vines creeping up my spine
Fear comes in many forms...
Which one will poison her today
And when will she release her hold
Cold hands cage a warm heart
When will I break free
When will she let go
