Power forward

No time to fool around
I got to follow the beat  to my own  sound
Focus on the goals I was scared to reach
Move on from my mistakes and teach

Myself to move on
Accept the things that were there and now gone
Let go of the irrational tears
Move forward from the fears

That held me back
Stand up for the things that attack
Your heart and mind
Search and then you will find

What held you back from tomorrow
Ending your sorrow

Birthday

I’m not so excited for tomorrow 
It’s not my anger or my sorrow 
I feel adjusted in my new place 
But all I see are empty faces 

The virus is coursing through the nation
All the non diabetic dessert are a temptation 
I can’t celebrate with my family and the ones I love 
Cause some are up above 

I can’t call my friends
Or make amends 
So this birthday will begin 
With me feel defeated will I win

Isolation

With the virus and not being with my family I feel as isolated as ever
I won’t give in to my sadness never
I feel mad and hurt inside
Cause I’m not with you and I won’t hide

From it cause it won’t break me
Cause it’s not bigger than my goals internally
I have a strong mind than my childish fears
Stronger than my irrational tears

Corona virus

The word gets around
Through the vibe and the sound
People get scared
Of the symptoms even if they aren’t there

Shops closed down and food runs out
Isolating through out
Each country each state
A sickness that’s hard to relate

A universal epidemic
Where everyone is sick
Comes out of the blue
Could it be you

24

A new year has reached us
For a new relationship and people we trust
More chances to take
And more heart  aches

More journeys to start
Healing yourself and your heart
Growing up and staying strong
Cause life isn’t good

The more we learn now
All the questions how
Is the pathway to a new
That starts with you

Lee

We had a interesting relationship
Through each other’s highs and dips
As we navigated through our own battles
And our own emotional cattle

We created our own version of our own happy
When life got pretty crappy
We shared a moment together
When our pain seemed to last forever

It was real yet we had our barriers
Ours own and what life had carries
But down inside we had a connection
Through life’s tensions

Who I am

I’m still trying to find who I am 
Like navigating through a traffic jam 
Organizing dreams and reality 
Separating the child and the adult me 

I’ve tried on many hats
Trying to get to where I’m at
Only to find myself closer to that goal 
To find my identity and feel whole 

But I must gather small pieces together 
And hope they fit and not sever 
To find who I am 
through this traffic jam
