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
