must I stay

please just hold me

send me away

make me sad

no make me smile

go away

hold me for a while

Draw me a pretty picture

create a blank to breathe

smile funny

make me weep

sad ending

funny to begin

leave out the fairytales

the worlds so full of sin

believe in love

if evil will exist

red carpet on muddy roads

more be its likeliness

coffee makes me silly

wine just makes me sad

but if you've read this far

you know I'm going mad

silly little girl

still a child inside

never ready to grow up

as then she'd run and hide

BJ Orig

Yes, [they] are right.

I have galaxies in my head that most cannot comprehend

Some days I am Saturn, with so many rings that it is impossible for anyone to reach my intricate soul

Some days I am the moon, with all its craters, just jumping from hole to hole trying to catch up with myself

Most days I am Pluto, onlookers cannot perceive me for what I truly am, and I’m OK with that.

I may be a forsaken planet or just an oblivious soul, either way I am just who I am meant to be.

To Trust

It is a must

The Heat

The Flame

still Remains

The Pain

The Scars

so fresh in heart

To Love

To Believe

and understand

there is love somewhere

without demands

Undying affection

for the inner me

Sharing the part

very few ever see

To Laugh

To Cry

In Ecstasy

play like a child

run by the sea

Laugh at the heartache

Cry at the Pain

Someday soon.....You'll love again

pull yourself together

but I disagree.

It’s okay to fall apart, let it out

rid oneself of the old epidermis

Only then can your revival begin

Acknowledging the cracks in your soul, not ignoring them

If you do they will become nomadic

And continually migrate through your veins and haunt you to the darkest hours

It’s your time now

Emerge from your self-created womb of suffering in the cavernous abyss

Crawl towards the light and ascend from the asses of the darkness

. . . . Be like the glorious phoenix full of fiery colors and soar leaving the shadow of your ashes in the void of darkness below

Haven’t you learned your lesson yet?

Yes, I have

I’ve learned that in this life, all of us are alone

So the rain must fall from our eyes if there is ever any chance of growth

Build a bridge and get over it

But I’m happy here in my wallowing

I’ve set up residence with the ghost from my past at least they can’t hurt me anymore

I know all their moves Knight to Queens Bishop

I’m already in check right where I want to be 

Little do they know he left me for the sunset.
