I deal with someone so unpredictable
So unclear
So frustrating
So quick to disappear.
Nothing is clear when it comes to you anymore.
Or was it ever clear to begin with?

to stay out of the darkness and come into the light more.
But these days coming out into the light shows me many people
doing the wrong thing as they want things to get back to normal.
Days and weeks and months go by and the time just seems to slip right by us.
Sometimes we want time to slow down so that we can get some sleep and take a moment to really enjoy our day or night.
So many things to see and yet all I want to do is hide away and not worry about the things that are not about me.

What you wanted her to be
Beautiful
Colorful
Unique
And yet still she wasn’t enough for you.
So you punished her and did all you could to break her spirit.
She fought for so long to stay strong.
But sometimes she was too tired to keep up the shield that protected her all her life.
And she would grow weak and start to believe what you had said about her all this time.
But, after a couple of days, she would grow strong again.
And your words would fall to deaf ears.
As she knew the lies of your words
She hoped soon to be free of your cruelty and to live in peace.

to find so balance
in my life seems so much harder lately.
As everything is being thrown around.
The lack of sleep is throwing me off as I try to stay up and face life.
Will I ever find the balance or will I fall off and have to get back up again.

loss happening all around
where they be accidents or just such tragically unthinkable situation.
The sadness is all the same
someone is gone from this world and in a better place.
But, no one was ready to see them go or they were?
To live on without them is sad and hard sometimes.
But, I know they would want us to live on and to cherish them in our memories.
But the pain is so fresh that the thought of being okay with them being gone will take some time.
To become not so loud but a loss is a loss and they will be with us as we take it one day at time.

Want to see you hurting
And so I pray with all my might that you will be okay.
I can’t imagine a world without you in it.
And so I wait to see what will happen and I hope you will be okay.
As I try to sleep I hope you will get some rest too and what you are feeling is just temporary.
And that God will lay his healing hands on you and take away the pain.
As you become fragile but still sharp.
I hope to get to know more about you before your time is up which I hope is many years to come.

A short time we have become your angels
Standing behind you no matter what.
Trusting in each other as the night goes on and dark becomes light as we are together into the morning each day.
As a little family, we look out for each other.
We lift each other up and eagerly await to learn more from each other.
So intertwined we can almost read each other’s minds.
We are forever connected no matter where we may end up going at the end of the day.
No issues as we connect over and over again.
Forever loyal to one another.
With no doubt, we have each other back.
Whether we are questioned today or tomorrow.

So long since I’ve seen you
And I feel so nervous as I’m different now.
I cut the long hair you loved and got colorful tattoos.
Showing a side of me
I’ve been wanting to show-off but was afraid too.
And all you did was smile and accept me.
Making me feel like I wasted time worrying about nothing.
Now time to make this last for as long as I can.
