Thanksgiving

As I step through
a small patch of woods
this fine morning
I feel the cold breath
of Winter on my neck
I catch a glimpse
of a rabbit's white tail
bobbing in and out of my sight
It's Thanksgiving
and this moment of near silence
is not lost on me
As I head back
I pretend to be a woodsman
following the last of Autumn's
long shadows
to a warm house
that will soon fill of family and friends
and I am grateful for it

the secret places-
solitude you seek

aloneness found
you are known.

watched from afar
a cradled star

cherished
loved.

"I am not enough", what a deceitful feeling
Deep within resides power with no limits
The road ahead might appear unclear
The pressure might seem too much to bear

But the strategy is to keep on pushing
Through thick and thin, to keep on moving
To strike out quitting from the options
To embrace all the journey's emotions

Deep within us lies all that it takes
To become whoever we decide to be
"I am not enough" is a lie to get us stuck
Engrave the "I can" mindset in your thoughts.

i wish i didn't care.
that your words could float right through me, without hurting me,
that i could shrug it off carelessly.
but honestly you are the one who has torn me all up,
the one who made sure i never strayed too far,
you are the one who destroyed me.
and i'm expected to love you?

you are unbearable
sweetness, raindrops
falling from a cloud,

the dreams of the night
as they sing, desolate
as a lonely star, beautiful
as a glistening sea,

you are the sweetest
fire that burns full of
love,

everything of me
cannot exist without you,
boy of love.

It hurts peacefully
I must say!
Palm skin
Outside clean
Dripping inside
Praying for a smile to be blinked.

Cheating

I remember the day my dad left.
He didnt just
Cheat
On my mom
He cheated us too.
2 young daughters,
A son that wasn't his but
We thought he cared for.
A beautiful wife,
Loving,
Caring.

I guess that's what happens
When you're truley not
Enough.
I remember when He left. I remember when he came back too. It was a bit later in the year and my sister and I stayed up half the night watching movies, being funny and all. Then we heard a knock at the door. My sister, being the oldest, went and checked while I hid behind a chair. When he came in, I still hid behind the chair, afraid that he was going to leave me again. He did, but the woman he cheated with have been happily together, they have a baby and I'm very close to them. They're wonderful people. I just wish my dad would act different.
