The days are upside down

A whirlwind of unknowns

Each morning, I face them

A mirror image of who I am

But where do I need to be?

I overlook the important

To dwell in the mundane

Endlessly searching for me

Wondering where I went

Yet, never finding myself

It’s a brutal pattern

A continuous thread

Unraveling, dangling

With no scissors in sight

To cut away the fray

Until it is too late

Everything I have done

Denigrated, criticized

Until the attacks cease

Forever brought to an end

 

Authors Note:  Just letting you know I am fine.  My poetry, lately, has been reflective of those who are not fine.  I am merely a voice for those who cannot speak…

Sorrow turns to hopefulness

Miracles happen

It’s all rusted now
Torn and tattered
Years of neglect

I wish I could disavow
Thoughts too scattered
Lacking self-respect

I’ve walked a fine line
Unafraid to crossover
My time, so measured

Though forlorn, I am fine
With the promise of clover
And a life, truly treasured

It was years since she could remember
How it felt to be in these shoes
Lacing them up with perfection
Unassuming, his delicate muse

Her pirouette, exquisite and airy
On her toes, twas so easy to see
How it came back to her, so quickly
As she danced with the forest and tree

He adored her, her grace was endless
Every elegant movement she made
How could he have left her behind?
Why on Earth had she even stayed?

For her beauty took his breath away
He knew now he’d never go far
His ballerina, his fantasy come true
Yes, she was his one shining star

Self-doubt is a lousy affliction

Some even call it an addiction

I just need some desire

To reach up and aspire

Thus, hitting my goals, with conviction

*

Though pinches of positivity

Could bring about creativity

Need to believe who I am

And get with the program

Sounds like the perfect activity!
