Weakness

The thing about weakness is that it can be wished away

I feel my weakness I feel my vulnerability 

I feel my battles that rage within

And I know that it will pass I will be strong again 

I am human I am alive I feel

I am weak tonight 

I will rest and be kind to myself

Tomorrow I will be strong 

Addiction

Addiction has lured me in

Trapped me with seduction  

Tempting me with honey

Mixed with vinegar

Anticipation beats my heart 

For that exciting taste

Forget the bitter

I want the sweet

In my weakness, You give strength

And on a personal note:

I do not write under a pseudonym. My name is my name, and I am writing in a public space. So just to say:

My blog is a place where I allow my soul to express itself. I do not edit very much, if at all. I allow my fingers to type and what is typed, that is what I post. Some of my poetry is drawn from past experiences, life situations, hopes, dreams, desires, wishes. Not all of it is auto-biographical. Or of recent times. It is just what it is. At the moment I am going through a difficult time. Trying to create a new me. And some of the old is hard to let go. It is hard to change. It is hard to create a new something. Whatever that may be.

Thank you for reading ❤

 

The Power of No!

Temptations rage strong
Threatening to overcome
No! I will not
Leave me be
And one by one
With each No that is said
With each No that is meant
The strong gets stronger
The weak gets weaker
And I am rising
Rising where I want to be
Becoming who I am meant to be
I am standing
Standing in my integrity
Holding the power
The power of No
