I looked
But couldn’t see
Lost along the way
From nowhere
That tiny shard,
A mere splinter
Keeping the whole complete
No holes to close
Nor open wounds to mend
Still my soul
Laid bare within
Determination faltered
Ease gave up too easily
Yet, I remained intact,
An entity
Battling the demon
In my head
Refusing
To let him win
And still I wait
Waving my white flag
Pleading
For the referee
To call the fight

Lines, once hidden,
Have grown bolder now;
No way to hide them,
Can’t disavow.

Months of worry,
This illness claimed;
To live with this,
A horrid change.

Takes courage to fight,
The strange, unknown;
A weakness,
I must not condone.

Make time to rebuild,
No reason to preclude;
Dreams, tucked away,
Need be, pursued.

Not sure where I’ll land,
Nor at what stage;
But this much I know,
I have surely aged.

The Center – #poetry

You are the center of your universe

Making things, so small, much worse

Always with a scornful look or sneer

To even those you once held dear

While time is fleeting, passing you by

All you think of is an eye for an eye

How silly it is to go on living like this

Instead of kindness, you choose to diss

Those who gave their precious time

Who, in your eyes, are quite begrimed

This I offer, though you won’t hear

My words, no matter, are very clear

Seek His peace, and hope, and light

Then learn to love instead of fight…

 

Author’s note: I have been struggling to get through health issues as well as family issues, but I’m over it.  I don’t mean to sound harsh, but for my own healing and well being, I have to move aside.  These words are the final pouring out of a very hard decision that was, unfortunately, inevitable. Thank you for reading…

I truly admire they, whose unique tastes, know no boundaries

Though eclectic styles of many, can sometimes cause a battle

That’s when others second guess us, creating many quandaries

We just smile, show them the door, go on, we say, skedaddle

 

Word of the Day – Admire

It is an integral part of us, as true human beings

To make an effort, so we make the world right

Yet we continue to blame, ignoring, not seeing

Anything that needs attention, instead, we fight

 

Word of the Day – Integral
FOWC with Fandango – Anything
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Effort
