Peel Through

Peel through the layers
to discover the beauty
in our fractured world,
looking past imperfections
to understand our stories.

My Life Thus Far

In those moments
of solitude

I have the chance
to think about

The events in
my life thus far.

Although the days
are filled with doubt,

I am thankful
that I chose to

Leave my old home
filled with despair,

Anger and loss
sharing the space.

I now have the
time to think on

How grateful I
am to make that

Choice to leave and
live in complete

Peace.

Look Past

Look past differences,

beyond preconceived notions,

and view the soul within.

Abrupt Ends

There comes a time
when severing a thread

Is necessary,
cutting the frayed cord

Before it grows
more decayed.

A line that began
with mutual

Understanding switches
to confusion,

Talking grows
into tirades,

And then you realize
that maintaining the line

Is damaging
your spirit.

Best to sever
a weak thread

In order to continue
your tapestry of life.

Roles

The role I play
in life is mine.

After living for years
playing a role

For someone else,
thinking I could adapt

And have it flow
with my true self,

The frustration I felt
told me otherwise.

I played the role
until I realized

My true part to play
was more worthwhile.

The role I play
in life is mine,

Truly mine, to
show the world.

Inner Strength

In days of great stress,
I draw from my inner strength
to attain sweet peace.

Searching

I search for you, yet
you are not here.

I search for your
soothing gaze,

Searching for warmth
in your embrace,

Yet a cold space
surrounds me.

I search for a
listening ear,

Someone to share
thoughts and dreams with,

Yet what shares my
space is silence.

I search for you, yet
you are not here.
