String Puppet

Going through various challenges, life has caused me to feel like a string puppet -you have to take control and snip those strings or you'll become a statistic! 

Life has caused me at times to feel like a string-puppet

Holding out my hands to heart-ache…here take them and cuff it!

Where you go I go –where… I didn’t really mind

As long as a place...

The vessel of a betrayed heart

The poem is about one that has been betrayed by someone whom she loved and how a negative can turn into a positive -you can survive

My mind is playing tricks on me

Trying to trust and get a grip on life but my emotions is bound by fear I need to be set free!

I’m part of a bigger picture I...

The meaning

If one does not

understand

the meaning

of the thoughts

that lay behind

the words

that they speak

then one

understands 

nothing

Choose

Should you not be

arrested

for the violence

that you do

to yourself

for the misery and shame

that brings upon the pain

that stains

a beautiful soul

that you hold within

your heart

should you not be

convicted

for forceing yourself

to wear a mask

that does'nt fit

Broken roots

We

can no longer

live

in the land

of our birth

when what we need

only exists

within foreign lands

a little peace

for our kids

we can no longer

live

in the land

of our birth

where to live in peace

is an illusion

broken

by the pain

of seeing pieces

What is

What is human

what does it mean

to be

what does it mean

to feel

the tears

of a broken child

inside your borders

of lets pretend

so what does it mean

when you proudly announce

that you are

Thin skin

It is 

when we allow 

the broken voices

that whisper

inside our head

to grow twisted roots

under our thin skin

of common sense

that slowly strangles

our sense of pride

of being

what we try to hide

forever chained

behind a mask

where our tears reflect

our childrens...

Circle

How can it be

we walk through life

yet hide

from the circle

that we tread

to the past

that

which is dead

a day without you

What inspired me to write this is when my phone broke down and it was like a part of me broke too.

Addiction to my phone i know it sounds silly but hey i love...

without seeing each other

without saying a word to one another,

Woman

I feel the strengh

of her arms

around me

and the warmth

of her body

within me

and i

snuggle up

even closer

feeling safer

then i have been

in years

i sigh

and close my eyes

wanting the moment

to be my prize

yet i cry

because i know
