“IN MY SHOES”
Do you really know what it’s like
To walk in my shoes?
Your world is so different
From my path…
You may think, hastily
I am being childish
But do you really know
Or understand my Life
My pain
My struggles
Before you judge me
Please consider this aspect…
Because until you have
Walked in my shoes
You can’t understand me…

“LOST”
As the darkness pulls at me
I am feeling “Lost”
In a haze of confusion…
Behind my mask
I suffer in silence: mostly
Putting on my brave face…
Daily, I dig into the grind
Searching for my peace
And the light at the end of the tunnel…
A moment of clarity comes
In the form of a holiday & trip away
With some good friends…
Which has made life
All worth the while
I feel so free!
So when your feeling this way, my friend
Take a trip & get away from it all
For it cleanses your body, mind & soul
And the mask can come off!!!

“SHADOWS”
In the shadows
Of my fears and doubts
My inner demons
Are forever crying out
Looking for a release
To spread their darkness…
.
Yet strongly & always near by
My Guardian Angel of love & light
Shares my burdens with me
Giving me strength
To continue on another day
And fight the good fight…
🙏🏼

“CAUGHT”
At times
I get perpetually
Caught up
In a tangled mess
Of my past mistakes
Feeling like I’ll never be free
From the hold that they seem to have on me…

“INNER DEMONS”
When my “Inner Demons” surface
They take me down deep, quickly
Into the darkness of self-hatred, doubt & insecurity
Knowing me far too well
They spout years and years
Of any negativity I’ve ever had, easily
Transporting me
Into the numbness & nothingness of my life
A lone entity
Who never seems to make it out
From the bottom of the heap…

“FLOATING”
Closing my eyes
As I float away
The silence descending
Peace is surrounding
With the gentle lapping of the waves.

“ENDINGS & BEGINNINGS”
As I walk forward
Having been released
From the confines of my old ways
.
I feel free: As today is a new day
Where “Endings & Beginnings”
Momentarily meet and part
.
With the Winter-time ahead
New tools are required
For the next leg on the journey…

“GROWTH”
Life is full of moments
Captured in time
Where precious seeds of thought
Were once planted…
.
A delicate thought
Started within
As we tended to it with care
And watch its growth to fruition…
.
Offering it out into the world
Sharing ourselves, hopefully
With mixed results
As we learn along the journey…

Moments come and moments go
Throughout our lives.
Sometimes they are delightful
Filling you with such joy.
Sometimes they can be special and inspiring
That you’ll hold forever close to your heart.
But sometimes they can be full of drama and tragedy
That will effect and change us forever…
A bit like hearing the echoing sound
Of footsteps fading away from you
From behind a closed door
As you try to mask your reaction
Until you are alone in your thoughts
To face the consequences…
Where the intensity hits
Of just how profoundly
It’s affected you
And that there is nothing
You can do to change it…

I am but a lost star
Guiding in your darkness
As you travel along the seas
Giving me a purpose from afar.
