The next chapter

I do not know what comes next
But I know I am prepared
I won't forget how I've been blessed
I won't throw a piece of this away
Tomorrow is a better day
Because of you.

There will always be room inside
My heart for the likes of you
And always there's a spot in
My life, if you ever need to.

You showed me everything I am
You gave me everything I need
With you inside my soul
How could I not succeed?

Thank you for the joy
Thank you for the laughter
The early morning calls and
The nights spent pining after
For all the treasured words
And all the lessons learned
For all the kindness shared
And for every reach returned.

I take it all with me
I take it in my heart
As I wish I could take you
Always.

A different time
A different place
How right it would have been
This thing that can't be wrong
Because it healed me within

Joy, care and respect
Defined our deep connection
I promise, since it's all I can do
To do our story justice.

The boy who was (never) good enough

I may be off-base But I think I recognize it This desire to give As a way to provide Yourself with a pleasing identity. A way to be loving A way to be loved Giving up your own needs  For the sake of harmony. Did you have a mother who was always sad? Were you the one to delight her? Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.
