You're No Badass

Saying something just for the reaction doesn't make you a badass.
I suppose it might be smart marketing, or insecurity.
Maybe you still feel like you  need to prove something.
Still not sure of yourself after all this time?
Not poking fun at you.
We all have our moments
Just wondering..........

If You Share It


If you share it
I’ll be open
I won’t question your journey
For it is yours
I will honor it
Maybe we’re not in the same place
Maybe we are
If you share it
I’ll be open
And if I’m not
I’m the one who loses
If you made mistakes
I’ll sit with you and tell you mine
If you can’t go on
I’ll hold your hand
Or sit quietly and wait with you
While it hurts
If you share it
I’ll be open
For only you have lived your life
And only I’ve lived mine
No life is ever wasted
And no one’s here for naught
So whether people understand
Or if they tell you no
Don’t ever hide
Don’t apologize
For you are who you are

Alchemy


The fog of the past has cleared
The mists have moved away
The time is mine to hold
And creation holds her sway

No longer wasting moments
And living on the blade
I hold my fate in my own hands
A life that’s mine to be made

With truly open eyes
And a heart that’s not my own
I walk on daily through this life
Finally seeing what we’ve sown

In the everyday there’s alchemy
You never can predict
Combinations unheard, un-thought of
Human logic never picked

Frail! You say impossible
Not strong enough, they insist
But creation moves in her own way
And life cannot resist

Dreams


Rheumatoid Arthritis – you can’t stop me.  You’ve tried before, And you’ll try again.  But I’ll always win.  
Money – I won’t obsess and worry about you anymore, and you won’t stop me from realizing my dreams.
Critics – I’m sorry you don’t believe.  I do.
Misfortune - You can try but I'll roll with it and get past your temporary setbacks.
Fear Mongers – Yes, I’m afraid sometimes too.  But I’m walking forward anyway.
Non-Boat-Rockers – Sometimes it seems easier to leave well enough alone, right?  Wrong.  
I am strong.
I am creative.
I am an artist.
I have dreams!  I will fulfill these dreams!
Never give up.

Picture


Can you picture “the perfect day”?
If all obstacles were removed, what would your life look like?
What does the day look like, what is happening?
What are you doing?
Who is with you?
What does it feel like?
Do you understand?
You can have this!
It’s not magic
It’s about your belief
In YOU
And hard work
Not giving up
Taking those steps
Gotta take that first one!
Not giving up
If you can picture it
You can become it

The Game


What were you playing at
Going on the chase
I was looking for some friendship
But got slapped in the face

I didn't know we were playing a game
Nobody told me the rules
Men can be so fragile
And I am quite a fool

Enjoyed the talks
And I never teased
And you have your own
But more would make you pleased

Sulking because I wouldn' t play
Pulled back your empty words
Made me question reaching out
But I know the problem is yours

Driving Music


In the car
We go away together
Scenes, patterns of words
Symbolism
Emotions
Ways to forget
Maybe a way to remember
Or strength to face up to it
Always by myself
But not alone
Burning in my soul
Where it counts
Down inside
In the places that are raw
That’s where I let you in
And you take me away
In the car
Driving with you
By myself
But not alone
