Sunset

A tender flush from the warm sky,

Sun shines through the reflection in my eyes ,

Soft sand around my feet, 

warm winds touch beneath,

Reds , pinks , yellows unite ,

As my sun takes off in flight,

My soul runs deep,

Deep as the reds blur and seep,

Warm hazy skies,

Gentle calm sad goodbyes,

Sunset by the sand,

Florida’s warm wonderland .

Mark

I feel so deep,

So true , my heart will weep,

I feel strong agony to the bone,

Hard dark as strong as stone,

My heart aches when I know it’s real ,

It hurts when I don’t want to feel,

My pain leaves a mark ,

As it strikes like a spark,

Into the darkness at night ,

Dark in pain sight. 

Behind the mask

Sometimes I’m scared to hide,

The things inside,

From the people around me,

Cause I can’t really be,

The me I am inside,

Cause life is hard , believe me I tried,

Ive been different from everyone else who can see, 

With all the cards been handed to me ,

I wanna be the true me,

But the mask blinds me I can’t see,

The pain that is portrayed inside,

My heart is locked , beyond my pride ,

My eyes look at the darkness in me ,

Beyond the light it’s just the reflection we can’t see .

Growth.

I’m not the same as I was,

                         Life changed me , like it does,

                        I may have been different              

                       Before,

                      But I’ve changed so much more,

Of myself I can’t believe how,

                         Grown,

                        So much my life has flown,

                      I’ve made so many successes  

                     Had many good times,

                   As life changed me in rhymes,

Poetry brought me sanctuary 

                        and peace,

                      A calm sense of release,

                    The change and poetry made me 

                    The me I am today,

                   But I’m the same in a different

                   Way.  

Writing my tears

I try to hold back tears,

Calm my fears,

Stop my anxiety from taking me down,

From turning my smile into a frown,

I try to be a strong independent person at heart,

But I feel like child being ripped apart,

I can’t calm my fears,

So I’ll just write down my tears ,

My mind is as crazy as highway,

Filling up everyday ,

My head is swollen with words of pain,

As my eyes refuse to fall down like rain,

I’m strong yet I’m fighting a uneven battle,

I’m being pulled like cattle ,

I’m sorry that I can’t get my act together,

Anxiety is killing me and it will never ,

SEVER......... 

Missing pieces

I’m scared,

I’m not even there,

I can’t get over the thought,

It just keeps getting caught,

I’m paralyzed by fear,

For what’s coming near,

I build a wall,

I don’t want it to topple and fall,

I’m sorry I’m not feeling strong,

Even though ,I’ve built it up so long,

I tried to get myself to heal,

But it’s all so surreal,

I’m dragging my feet ,

Feeling bleak ,

Lost in the moment of time,

Stuck finishing this rhyme .
