‘Basic Need’

You Have the Need: So Fucking Roar!

A sample from Book 1.

 Basic Need
  
 we hide our self
 behind
walls we built
  
 not being good enough
truly felt
 being afraid
fear tightens our belt
  
 past haunts‒ 
needing to prove oneself
 strengthens
our woven quilt
 submersed
in unforgiving guilt
  
 worries
attack our health
 negative thoughts
 keeping away life's wealth
  
 once you've knelt
 stop hiding
beneath the buried shelf
  
 the past
takes care of itself
 no longer
feeling like an elf
  
 pain
will suddenly melt
 you'll be happy
with yourself

‘Enjoy the Journey’

One Day At a Time. Don’t Give up!

A sample from Book 1

 Enjoy the Journey
  
 struggling to achieve success
 unwavering with foolishness
 wanting to be the best
forgetting all the rest
 unsettling restlessness
  
 accepting nothing less
a tangled tireless
 rigid, forming mess
 without closing
in its materialness
  
 turning the page
with  new zest
 breathing stillness
 leaving out the self―
induced test
  
 feeling skin with
gentle caress
 listening to the inner
openness
  
 gaining comfort
from life’s scared nest
 becoming not just a guest
 to self’s empowering fest
  
 no longer having to second guess 
 seeing His† awaking crest
  
 no longer a pessimist
 learning to be quiet to rest
 to explore, think less
  
 the journey has become
a simple justice
 gaining self forgiveness
loosing material cravenness
 the journey has become a
willingness
  
 no longer a pest
more of an adventurous
 a traveling voyage of smallness
  
 one tiny step after the other
to forgiveness
 one more creation
of vastness
 that becomes real and timeless

‘Yelled Sarcasm’

5 Ways to Heal ‘Self’ from Abuse and Trauma

 Yelled Sarcasm
  
 speaking out of turn
 oh! how this heart burns
  
 this once gentle character
stripped
 each time a tone of voice
tips
  
 gone the plow
that once endured
 for this ache!
there is no cure
  
 once betrayed
bitterness lays
 honesty...only the heart craves
  
 that forever solid pace
yearned
 ‒left with only discern
  
 out the heart‒
emotions...flipped
 drops of dimes‒
where truth is clipped
  
 all smells like week-old manure
 ‒nothing left that's pure
  
 seconds, minutes, hours‒
turn to days
 as what was‒
gets lost in a bitter haze

Recognizing Codependency in Yourself!
