The Bridge

Untitled 2

A dream is a wish your heart makes
Action is the command your mind takes
Response is the way your heart shakes
Improvement is when the soul wakes
Results are real, not fakes

Negatively Positive

Failures are merely more memorable experiences
Perfection is the edit button in your head that sometimes needs to go on pause
Tears are necessary to detoxify the soul
A good cry indicates that you are still alive and not living dead
Pain is strength being tested
I haven’t lost my way; my directions have just changed
An answer need not be further than in your gut
Disappointments are a reminder to make new appointments
A Monday is as beautiful as a Sunday, for they both promise a new Day
I’m not upset with you; I’m merely getting to know you better

Tears (Inspired by a character from the film "12 Years A Slave")

A salty warmth
Trickles down her cheeks
Words on tip
Curl back in
Shivery spasms
Tighten her lips

A waterfall of hurt
Heavy lids
Glassy eyes
Her soul slowly dies

Soft whimpering sounds
Drops of grief
Some lost
Some found
Quiet weeps
To ascending wails

Her heart can no longer hold
Hold back no more
Her tears bring warmth
To the icy cold

I've lost my children
Let me lament
It's my torment

I've lost my freedom to die
At least let me cry
