Shout it from the rooftop
scream it to the sea
wave your hands
take a stand
nobody's listening
Renae Jul 2021
What is real?
I can't see it but I can feel
Is it lust? Is it fire?
Is it only appealing to my desire?
Is wrong is it right?
Should I put up a fight?
I once read it was either
A test of my faith,
will I stand firm
Or teeter
Will it destroy my heart
Rip it out and tear it apart?
Like the myans of old
Sacrificing all I own
Theives, they steal
Take & only reveal
lust for power
not a tower
Of refuge
They are hills
Crumbling and stumbling
With nothing but feels
no foundation
No peace of mind
empty philosophy
is all you find
Realistically
The answer is deeper
It is not hidden or confusing
It is something to live for
Stronger and taller
Than the highest height
emptying thrones
bringing the truth to light
More powerful
than your mind
a treasure of gold
is what you'll find

Pointed and smooth
Each of them
Solid they sunk in
Only to find
a neck of steel
Now they're broken
Renae Jun 2021
I've learned I'm entirely
broken...
into tiny fragments.
I don't attempt
to pick up my pieces,
slicing my skin on sharp egdes.
I sat long in the mirror examined my colors... outstanding
my shine, not gone
perhaps not broken.
I said to myself
"I don't need to perfectly fit"
Somehow I'm still beautiful,
sharp, impossible...
I suppose the only thing
left to do is..
proudly place my pieces in cement

All roads seem blocked
All exits taped off!
This and that
always get in the way
I ask and wonder and
I don't feel okay

Am I worthy??
As though
you should answer...
Are you?
Who am I to choose

There are hidden things
I cannot see
Your heart, your soul,
your memories
Your trauma, your fears,
Your meant to be's

That crashed and burned
broke your heart...

Who am I to think
you're too broken to restart?

Can I assume you
have no right to life?
That you're cursed
unloved & shouldn't
been born... right...

When I look in a mirror
I only see me
So I ask myself,
Am I worthy?
And then I answer,
most certainly.

I don't understand
but I'm not worried
It's out of my hands
out of my hands

Been in motion for so long
it's not going to stop
I guess you shouldn't throw away what's written
Whether you want it or not

You can't change it
no matter how much you wish
You can't stop
what's been put in place
It's God's plan
you can't change it
for the Earth & for space

It's bigger than you
That's why it's a race
I'm in it too
Enduring
no matter what it takes

One mistake
won't take your life
even if you make it twice
Get back up and make it right
You already know
the consequence, like
Why ruin your life?

I'm not in competition
with nobody
I want you to win too
All I ask is
You want the same for me,
Don't you?

This war isn't mine
I have no choice
but I have faith
So I stand
with my heart
and my voice
Renae May 2021
I've seen the news
seen what's on TV
Listened to music
looked at you, looked at me
I learned
all about our history
The only light I see
is in the books,
songs &  letters
written to you and me
They've survived
through centuries
telling us what's to be
No, anxiety can't get to me
I rest peacefully
my mind is at ease
for the illumination is
brighter than it used to be
The writing's on the wall
the picture is clear
It's never been easier to see
He cannot cheat,
he will not lie
There's no more time to cry
he will wipe every tear from our eyes
