I turn to the sun and see brightness and light
I look within and feel courage and life
In the depths of despair I will hold out my arms
And gently be lifted from the dark well surrounds
To the higher, brighter, sun-drenched place
Of life, and light, and safety
I dreamt of my mother. She was alive – just been missing awhile. She came back, to a world that had changed.
My mother, why did you go? Leaving me young and alone? Facing the future, struggles unknown.
I dream and I pray. For my mother who cared. But after I wake, the dreams fade and die.
I fell asleep last night with something bothering me. It echoed in my dreams. It is still bothering me. And I am grumpy. And a monster. There is nothing for my mood. Except this song. I’ll have a piece of him, yes please, and thank you.
It was never about you and me and us
And what we could be
It was always only ever
About you
Crisp clean sheets
Caress aching mind –
Comforts me
empty bench covered in leaves
wind shaking tired trees
dry wood and rusted metal
scent of fall’s fresh breath
cool air kissing me
alone and lonely
Hiding from the world
So no-one sees my face
I’d rather be alone
In an empty space.
I’m in the dark
There is no hope
Perhaps one day
I’ll learn to cope.
First steps for change
Sweep the old away
Prepare yourself for new
First steps for change
One new dawn, a new day –
Will skies be red, or rather blue?
Been there.
Done that.
Got the ten amazing t-shirts.
(That no longer fit).
