Another Day
Today marks another day that I’m depressed
Another day that’s filled with stressed
Too tired to wake up, too tired to get dressed
I’m grateful for everything, but somehow I’m still upset
Each day is the same, yet my mind is a mess
I don’t think I get it, this can’t be it
Another day
Another day
Each day is the same, and my mind stays distressed
Ask
If you never ask.
You will never know.
What could have been.
What would have been.
If you never ask.
Dreams on hold.
Desires will grow old.
Beauty In the Seeds
The road may seem dry
The seeds may seem like they only die
But a tree grows beneath the earth
Seeds gather beneath the earth
Something beautiful grows beneath the earth
Out of sight
Out of mind
Something grows that is so divine
Unscathed by the turmoil above the soil
The dreams, the seeds, the tree, grow steadily
Soon you’ll see, from underneath, the beauty
Because there is beauty in the seeds
Black Butterfly
I carry the weight of a thousand pounds
My rage is louder than a thousand sounds
My beautiful lips stay silent by day
My strength is a storm hidden away
My spirit is broken
But my soul is alive
There is beauty in my blackness
I am a Black Butterfly
But I’m Happy Now
I would of ate this song up once upon a time
I would of listened to this song on repeat once upon a time
I would of wrote to this song once upon a time
I would of thought of you when I heard this song once upon a time
I would of cried listening to this song once upon a time
I would of added this song to my playlist once upon a time
I would have fell asleep to this song once upon a time
I would have asked you to listen to this song once upon a time
Carousel
How tied up one becomes
In the intricacies that life brings someone
Goals pile and pile
We continue to work tile after tile
The carousel never ends
It only stops and re begins
If one stops to breathe
They’ll just remember it’s time to plant another seed
Hello Anxiety
My heart pounds
My lungs collapse
My breathing stops
My mind is kidnapped
My soul evaporates
My life breaks
Anxiety overtakes
Home
I remember the nights I couldn’t sleep
And all the sounds would come through the door
I remember how uncomfortable it was to walk
With all the sad pieces scurried on the floors
I remember the mess up under the seat
And how I tiptoed with my slender feet
I remember the long pieces of hair
Oh how I would get so unnerved
I remember the clutter that never stopped coming
I remember the anger that never saw anything
I remember the freedom that came when I left
But it was too late
All the pieces were broken and unkept
Too many feelings and memories came to the surface
The monsters within couldn’t be harnessed
It took time to kill all of them
But now that they’re gone
I can see again
Human
We are all human
Our bodies, works of art
Our minds, all beautiful omens
Normal does not exist
Only different, special, unique
Every single one of us has our own beautiful twist
There is no standard
There is no “perfect”
There is only love
We are all sacred
Intro
Don’t look for perfection.
Don’t look for symmetry.
Don’t look for rhythm.
Don’t look for sense.
Don’t look for flow.
Look for your imperfection.
Look for your meaning.
Look for your soul.
Look for beauty.
Look for growth.
Poetry
I’m too afraid
To let you see
All the parts
Inside of me
Saturday
Sometimes I feel no passion
Sometimes I feel my world crashing
Sometimes I feel all my time is simply passing
Sometimes I miss the rain
Sometimes I feel like I’m going insane
Sometimes in all the madness
I remember to feel the gladness
But then the feelings come back
And right back, stuck, with the rest of the pack
Scorpio
I am insane
Like a storm without rain
My massive brain
Is addicted to pain
Each goal
Has its own soul
With everything at stake
I don’t break
I am immovable
My strength is impenetrable
My heart is sharp
My gaze strikes like a dart
I am a force
I never stray from my course
Shard
My earth shatters
Beneath my chest
My soul cries out
It’s bleeding to death
Starry Winter
My feet grow cold
January snow
My tea pot sings
My imagination has wings
A warm cup of ginger
Is all I remember
An incense blows
While my mind grows
I wrap my legs
Around the pegs
The chair is my friend
I sit and enjoy the wind
A shower at night
To get it right
Turn off the light
And rest for the night
Stoic
I am a river
I am a storm
I am filled
But never warm
I am an ocean
I am a hurricane
I am empty
But I am sane
I am a fire
I am a bomb
I am explosive
But I am calm
The Beauty
As I take a step back
I can hear the sounds
I can feel the laughs
The whistling of the trees
The sound of the ocean breeze
It’s all a reminder of everything
The beauty
The Storm
God is gracious
God is kind
God is with me
All the time
Before I wake
And when I dream
God is there
Watching me
Timer
My hands are claws
My consciousness gnaws
I stack and stack
I break my back
I explore no more
I’ve become a bore
Life loses interest
Which day will go by quickest
I lost my stride
My mind just glides
Which way was I on
I stopped caring at dawn
Visiting Again
Sometimes I’m concerned
That I’ll never learn
Then it’ll be my turn
For my discontent
Is relentless
It never fades
It goes on and on for days
When my mood is taciturn
I turn inward
Forgetting all the purpose around me
I settle in the darkness that grows inside of me
The cycle never ends
The feelings never leave me
Ecclesiastes
Woman
I am the fire
I am the earth
I am the ocean
I am the curse
I bare your children
I bleed in pain
I am objectified
I am treated inhumane
My intelligence is invisible
But my strength is unmatchable
I find no peace
In this institution
I am a slave
But with conviction
I grow mad
Day by day
But it’s risky
To not be okay
My spirit is broken
But my soul is alive
My heart is nonexistent
But my fire will never die
