A little Prayer

As I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

And if I die this very night

Let someone out there continue my fight.

I stand for those too afraid to speak

Whose thoughts and lives are quite unique.

They are often heard but not truly seen

because Ignorance can make people mean.

I pray my God to heal the pain

So lives lost were not in vain.

People fear what they don't understand

but you give us nothing we can't withstand

In Honor of All those that couldn't escape the bully's words

AdViCe is nIcE

<>Darlin' don't try to DiCtAtE<>

<> The thoughts you didn't help CrEaTe <>

<> Just rIdE the wave<>

<> and relinquish the cOnTrOl that you crave<>

<> Hope for the BEST<>

<> Prepare for the WORST<>

The Simple Things

Everybody knows the simple things

Like 2 and 2

but here is something new

You should never be afraid

Of who you are and

What you will become

I sit on a branch looking through the trees

Searching endlessly

For the something else

I thought I needed

I watch the clouds pass by

Change color as the sun

Falls

Just to realize that I

am like those clouds

Changing, moving

meeting unknown Horizons

Not finding something else

but Myself

now is the time to question

Yourself

Are you like those clouds?

Or merely a reflection in the pool

Fear not Change

and

Keep moving

I wrote this many years ago... but it applies to today I think.

Battle

Love is a Kindred Spirit

torn between the mind and heart

Brought to pieces by

Passion & Knowledge

Untrusting but Unfaltering

Never Growing

Never Wavering

It remands the Same

Hospital Visits

IV's

& resperators

Knobs and wires

the drip drip of morphine

Soft beeps of a heart beating

holding on

to precious moments

Laying still

breathing hard

Pain

moans of fear

She waits

Cold & frightened

I hold her hand &

Wait for her to wake

I wish to take away

the hurt

Try to tell her words of

sweet comfort

All I can think to say...

"I love you"
