Friends may come and go.
I'm a constant In your life.
I'm the moon and tides.

Once I could find my way.
It was clear to see.
Now it lies obstructed,
by fear of what will be.
There must be a way around,
where a new path comes into view.
I am determined to find it.
My optimism brand new.
It will be a challenge.
A test by God above.
I am up to the task.
I know it's done with love.

Wolves howl at the night
It's a primal call to arms
An iPhone alert

I feel so left out
Feeling jealous and quite pained
Heartbreak is sustained

You are a beacon.
Helping me to find my way.
You are my mainstay.

Which should I believe.
God decides who lives or dies.
Or it's in fate's hands.

I'm losing my voice
My song can't break barriers
Not without the choir

Dreams are in color.
Or are they in black and white.
Mine are colored by you.

Alone with my thoughts
They are lousy company
I've grown to loathe them.
Used to be so flattering
Now they only ridicule.

Did my time in school.
Was not popular or cool.
Followed every rule

Some thoughts comfort you
Others chill you to the bone,
they are yours alone.

The pen channels peace
Passersby feel our passion
God guiding our hand.

The past is ingrained
A fine powder residue
You just can't brush off.

The circus is real life
The clowns that give you a laugh
Also frighten you.

I have broken free
Of the tight constraints of me
So much more to be

As the time ticks by,
I can't promise but I'll try,
to blue up your sky.

Believe what you see.
When I melt into your arms,
You're a part of me.

A red cardinal.
Landed on my windowsill.
Sign of my dead kin?

What good are my words?
They're only reaching deaf ears.
I can only speak.

You get on my nerves
You are like the whistling wind
Underneath my door

I can't love you,
until I love myself.
I would be reaching,
For too high a shelf.

Any tide I fight,
brings me closer to the shore.
His light is my guide.

Kindness seemingly
Is a dying form of art.
In society.

Life is far to short,
to live your life in the shade,
people throw at you

It's partly cloudy
There's always a chance of rain
Inside of my mind

Remembering pets,
that we had to have put down.
Their love knew no end.

You do not love me
You just love the idea,
of being in love.

I don't have money.
I don't have movie star looks.
I have peace of mind.

Homeless vets can see
The home of the brave and free
Turned its back on thee.

Sometimes I can't see.
Doubt dimly clouds my vision.
Like a cataract.

I get the goosebumps
When your eyes perchance meet mine
I can't look away.

Sitting down, legs crossed.
I sit tight listening,
to your posturing.

"You're too sensitive"
That is what they always say
When the jokes on me
When shoes on the other foot,
I'm just being "mean".

I am just a toy
What you would have me believe.
Always expect me to stick around
While you lie and you deceive.
I've been through enough
I picked you up off the ground
Picked you up, dusted you off
Rescued you from lost and found
You left my heart in shambles
I'm lucky if I can trust
You've come out looking shiny new
I'm covered in rust
I did love you at one time
That's an undisputeable fact
I fell for you faults and all
And this is the way you act?
So this is my goodbye
I wonder how you'll make it on your own
I guess you'll find someone like me.
Who buys the image she is shown.

I worked very hard,
to get you to notice me.
Wrote you poetry.
Charted every tear that fell.
Saved you from a living hell.

I wish you the best.
Though our paths will never merge,
in my heart you'll stay.

Snapshots of faces.
They're smiling for the moment.
Then that moment fades.

You feel things deeply
So gently, I'll stroke your soul,
caress your heart.

I thought you should know
You're every feeling I show
Why the stars they glow

Marching in the streets.
Their faces hidden by hoods.
Hate by cowardice.

I am light hearted
Didn't used to be that way
Till I realized you are my savior
Then fell to my knees to pray
I was lost in life
Didn't know which way to turn
Mistreated by those I trusted
My soul then left to burn
Then one day I realized
That you would never harm me
That is what opened my eyes
That's what set me free
I needed to love myself
In the way a parent would
Learn to live with my shortcomings
And embrace all that is good
I thank you God every day
For forgiving all my sin
For showing me I'm loved
Thank you God, love Lynn

I followed my heart
But it was torn asunder,
simply for trusting.

Things may seem unfair.
But that helps in our growing,
way we view the world.

Troubles block our way.
Whether we're weak or we're strong,
road ahead is long.

From both sides I've seen
The divisive arguments
Nothing getting done.

You are like a stranger
Your touch foreign and cold
No explanation do you give
If the truth be told
At least give me an answer
That much is owed to me
I am left in the dark
Without a light to see
You seem pleased and smug
While I simply want your love
An apology I would offer up
Not something I'm above
Yet now I'm feeling angry
Like I'm not in the wrong
Keep it to yourself and pout
I'll be gone before too long.

When will be my day?
My future in disarray
Doubt steps in my way.

There is no conscience
Inside a dangerous mind
In a dark alley,
there lurks a figure in black
His knife taken from it's sheath.

Photographs of me.
My reflection in mirrors.
Isn't what I see.

How to beat the blues
Round them up with cattle ****,
let the beatings start.
