Changes

A bunch of tension is released off my shoulders 

Maybe it’s because I’m getting older 

But a mile seems closer than ever 

and no’s seem possible than never 

I’ve cried rivers and streams 

Learned things that are impossible than it seems 

But the fire and the ice changes me 

Bounding me free

As the earth spins 

You eventually win 

Nature’s view

When your windows open I can sense you through the wind

I’m always with you no matter how much you’ve sinned 

I’ve felt the warmth in your touch 

As the wind blessed me I love you so much 

I prayed your okay 

May heaven mend you always 

As long as we’re apart

There’s always connections to my heart 

As the river flows 

As deep the connection grows 

The more I know

I’ve been to different states

With past knowledge and a clean slate 

I’ve learned everything I known and gathered 

Following the consistent patterns

With what I know I’ve gained growth 

As I made my oath 

To gain as much knowledge to strive

To keep my hope alive 

And everywhere I go

And the more I know 

The most I take with me 

In the future I see 

Home

I kept moving around
What remains are the sounds
I haven’t put down any roots anywhere
I enjoy New York but it’s not there

Each place I’ve been never felt like home
Like the earth I’ll keep turning where I roam
A new place, a new face
Until I find a home I embrace

Through the blue skies and tears I’ve cried
One time I’ll move and it won’t be goodbye

Mountains

The mountains make it seem like your flying
While I sit sighing
Admiring the view
Because somewhere I’ll see you

A reflection of you in the sky
Beyond the mountains I’ll fly
Till we meet again
I can’t wait till then

I’m grateful  for a mom like you
And everyday I miss you
Right now the mountains remind me of you
Your heart and your strength I admire too

Disconnected

I haven’t checked my phone in days
I feel a disconnect in so many ways
I miss my family and friends
Time seems to never end

Through the month of March I’ve called my family less
I guess I should be blessed
But my blog hasn’t been updated
As my mind continues to create it

I’ve been writing to connect to myself with rhymes
Since it’s just me this time

Speak my mind

It’s hard to speak my mind 

Some people make it hard to find 

Your heart between your intentions 

Making decisions puts my mind into sections 

I’ve been practicing assertiveness 

Learning to stand up for myself is a test 

I try to speak my mind

When I struggle to find 

My voice

Saying no is a choice 

Standing tall for what I need

As I develop my lead
