I resent every part of me
That took a stand and
Stood up for myself
The adult within
That said you will not
Abuse the child within
The adult is still there
Lurking in the dark
While the child cries
Uncontrollably

Black Cat
Do not mess
With this cat!
Best
The best I can do
Is to be the best I can be
To lift my eyes
And see the light
To walk with my shoulders back
With my spine in place
With a smiling face
And to see myself
As the best that I can be
Opening my Heart
I open my heart
To morning sunshine
I invite light
To warm my being
I welcome peace
To wash over me
Request
Help me to show love
Help me to be a friend
Help me to share of myself
Help me to give and not only take
Help me to accept and give thanks
And help me to know it’s not all
About me
How long?
Until I feel whole again
Until I am not obsessing every single morning, noon and night
Until I no longer hope that you will contact me
Until I erase your touch from my memory –
Your sweet delicious lips that got me every single time?
How long?
(Make it go away)
Why?
Remind me
Why I asked you to go
Why I asked you to say goodbye
Why I asked you to leave me alone
Remind me why
And why, why, why
You happily obliged
Dark and Light
Negativity
Is a bad habit
Positivity
Is good practice
Empty
I pushed you away
Now I want you so bad –
Life without you leads
Me to cry into an empty
Bed
Flickering Heart
My heart sometimes
(Whenever)
Skips a beat
Gentle flurries of continuous motion –
The flicker of a flashing light,
It reminds me every time
To count my blessings every day
To say the words I want to say
To pen the lines I need to write
Because today might be my very last.
