I try to give you the world
Wrapped in hope and happiness
You deserve not only that, but so much more
You always end up with less.

It's like the more I attempt to fix everything and make our lives better the more the pieces fall apart.

Dry land.

Dry land.

Almost there we can see Dry land
An open door from a helping hand
All those years in that deadly trap
We are moving on no turning back .
The future seems much brighter now
It's time to smile and stand up proud .
The past it seems has left its mark
But there's always light after dark.
So now we see new pastures green
No more nightmares, only dreams.
We took a chance standing on the ledge
Risking our lives close to the edge
We know that there are many more
Who are heading for that opened door
So come on friends and take that hand
And let it help you find dry land.

Alcohol addiction is common with all kinds of people even doctors and .
The good news is many do recover and find dry land .

Monsters

Monsters

It was a stormy Wednesday night
I turned all the car lights off
Let the thunderstorm light my way
Terrified of the dark
Not because of the monsters hiding in the shadows
No, I know the real monsters lie waiting in my head
They know exactly what to whisper to make my heart drop
How did they ever get so clever?
Stopping in the middle of somewhere close to no where
Wanted to have a talk with the devils on my shoulders
Ask the one with the white wings
How we ended out this far
And of the faintest whispers
I heard
If angelic beings were to fall to this world of ours
I think even they would commit many wrongs
That’s what the dark brings

Game of Me and You

Struggling Pen

Game of Me and You

I felt your presence
Your silent footsteps
Still I heard
You seemed uncertain
Not sure if it was okay
My back somehow turned anxious
I don't know if you felt it
I stayed the way I was
Not turning my head

I waited
And you stepped sideways
Away from me
For a while
As if gauging
If I would be accomodating
You saw me flip a hair
Talk back to someone else
Not caring one bit
If you were there

Now you started to walk
Rounding a pillar
Straight to my line of vision
You made your presence known
I looked at you
Casually speaking your name
You looked at me
In the eye
Did you see something?
Was there a telltale sign
That I was anxious as you
Like we were in a fight
And now contemplating reconcillation

Laughing inside
Yeah..we were fools
Engaging in silent war
Ignore..reject..
As if testing who will hold
Power between us
I smirk...
I knew it
You would not be able to hold on
You will succumb
I am your temptation
Someone you could not easily dismiss
However you wanted

In the end
Triumphantly
I won.

This game of me and you
I wonder when will this end?

Remember Me

May 2018 Vivi Greene

Words of a withering soul

Remember Me

Remember me when you feel all alone,
I'm always here for you, I'll never leave you on your own.
Remember me when your heart is broke in two,
I'll always be here to pick up the pieces and heal your heart for you.
Remember me when you feel depressed, stressed or angry,
I'm always going to be by your side through it all, please believe in me. Remember me when you're confused or lost,
Because I'm always here for you no matter what the cost.
Remember me when you're feeling ill in any way,
I'll always be here to nurse you back to health any day.
Remember me after I am gone,
And just for you, I'll be sure to ask God to leave Heaven's light on.
Remember me please, don't forget,
I'll always remember you, our friendship I'll never regret.
Remember me if you're in Heaven before me,
Maybe you can guide the light for me to see.
Remember me when you don't think you can ever love again,
Because I am here waiting to love you, but I can wait 'til then.
Remember me when you feel like nobody loves you,
Just so you know that I'll always be here, forever too.

Still I Rise

Maya Angelou

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may **** me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
