Where Was I Going?

I found myself walking

down a trail in the woods.

Moonlight spilled across my path

lighting the way.

Unsure of my destination—

but something told me I was headed

in the right direction.

I didn’t know where I was,

only that I was getting closer

to where I was going.

Darkness surrounded me,

but the moonlight

was my guide.

As I traveled…

What Will You Do?

If I ascend,

will you feel hollow?

If I go ahead

will you try to follow?

Can you have peace of mind,

if I leave you behind?

Or will you be tempted to wallow?

The Pendulum Swings

Back and forth

Back and forth

It’s more difficult for me than it is for you.

No it’s much more difficult for me.

Is this a contest?

It’s hard for us all, can’t you see?

The pendulum swings.

Does my pain matter more than theirs?

Are we not all in this together?

What is easy to you, is a struggle for me.

What comes naturally to me,…

Bottomless Pit

Why do you rage?

The world is your oyster,

yet you act like you’re locked in a cage.

Are you that disappointed

that you can’t have it all?

Will you only be happy

if you can consume every crumb?

Must everyone starve

for you to feel full?

Is there anything that can satiate you?

Must you devour the world around you to feel worthy?

You dream of…

Source Frequency

It feels like magic—

Words bubble up,

pen marks on paper,

fingers on keys.

Where does it come from?

I don’t think it’s me.

It’s like I’m tuning into

some frequency;

one that’s been waiting

to be heard.

I’m not sure if I should

even take credit

for writing these words.

Above the Tree Tops

I look up to the sky

and taste my freedom.

Like a bird who escapes its cage,

I soar above the tree tops,

relishing my release,

never looking back.

I won’t feel guilty for those still in cages

because I’ve learned—

Inspiration unlocks more doors

than persuasion ever could.

Content With the Lie

If you had asked

I would have been honest.

But you always seem to look away

When things get real.

Are you more comfortable

With the mask?

Does authenticity scare you?

Are you running from me?

Or are you running from yourself?

Don’t you want to leave the bullshit behind?

Don’t you want to transcend the lies?

Or are you content…

The Gravity of Fear

I don’t want to crash land.

I’ve come so far.

The fear creeps in…

I know this gravitational pull all too well.

As I entertain fear,

Foolishly giving it a spot of tea and cake,

I feel myself sinking further down.

If I kick fear out and lock the door,

Will my being become lighter?

Will I rise again?

I don’t write a lot of poems like this, but I wanted to capture the way I used to feel years ago.

A Memory of a Place I Used to Walk.

As I walk through this valley,

not of the shadow

of death,

but the in between shade

of limbo.

I wonder and I wander.

I wander and I wonder.

Is there more?

Is my hope in vain?

Is it just a mirage

to induce more pain?

Should…

I want to be high,

but I feel so low.

I wish I could fly,

but where would I go?

I’m just getting by,

but I want to grow.

Help me understand,

what I need to know.
