Frustration

I have been so uninspired to write lately, everything I have to say lacks words of expression. I am in new stage in my life where new decisions and paths are before me. I am in a season of confidence and progress yet I cannot write. It seems as though my inspiration comes through trial and misfortune...so I will take this dry spell as a blessing. Until then..... we will see what happens :)

His Eye is On the Sparrow

His eye is on the sparrow
so what’s the reason for our sorrow?
I know he watches me
but when our eyes meet, I look down - searching for my dignity
underneath is where my heart beats
I sing a new song but the tunes all wrong
I gotta work on me, find my inner peace
It shouldn’t be this hard but the scars aren’t on the surface
they’re deeper than I want to believe
so I leave my thoughts on this “paper” - rid them now to reflect on them later
It’s easier ignoring the truth - but to cut down a tree to hide its existence is pointless
‘cuz underneath what we see lies the deepest thickest roots
so don’t hate the tree - me - cause as the years go by it only grows stronger, taller and no matter how rough the surface the inside is softer
The depth of a person enhances through situation
everyone has a story
for some, theirs gets praise and glory
for others, the significance is not lesser
for most they’re to consumed to try and make it better
call my statements ignorant - a bliss perhaps with an aura so potent
Focus
my mind drifts with the wind leaving imprints like the ink from this pen
on the world
I sit - on a bench - one girl with one soul
alone
so many people around but no one to hold
looking forward to the future I long to behold
I gaze in a daze - LIFE- it never seizes to amaze -ME- I will be great-LY-
accomplished and loved with help from above
This confusion is a temporary illusion
a distraction to deny us-we-you-me of a life long satisfaction
So I’ll sing until the tune is just right
I sing because I’m happy and I’ll sing until I am free
I will never give up
because I know He watches me

Before I sleep

And so the dreams begin.. again - besotted with him, a friend
Enamoured and charmed- enraptured in fondness, every moment away my heart begins to ache
I miss you 99.99% of each and everyday
The comments and the whispers, the truth is honest, between the lines it's dispersed
not sure which foot to place first- but together we find a way
"Your making it hard for me" the lyrics I repeat- my love for you shows- my heart skips a beat
Mood swings-together then apart like shoe strings -happy then sad, confused then mad -enough to confuse a mood ring
Emotions running deep- the tension when you breathe -Speak! - tell me what you think
My mind drifts to your mind - swift and intelligent- gentle but dominating- a lion -I'm not lying
you always amaze me- Pokemon to the great things- things that I can't or wouldn't think -you take me there
pushing me to push me to become aware- to open my mind and release this fear
my mind is open- you placed me here
Handsome and bold -your story untold, meek and free-  a man of integrity, dignity -ambition and dreams
I picture you wearing those black jeans - 'damn
no words can I speak
The cats got my tongue- the jury is hung- this song has been sung -you are.....
the one I think to tell when life's a living hell or when I'm excited -a kid at show 'n tell
your face I see before I go to sleep - in my dreams and awake in my mind you creep
and I let you- I wonder if you feel the same way too? I like you - more than just like I love you and respect you in everyway
One day I hope you decide to be brave and "Express Yourself" before I hit the grave
Too much time with words unsaid- heart so heavy it could leave you dead- lead- get it through your head
you are like ink to this pen - a permanent mark you leave on the heart, this life......
"Your making it hard for me" ...to write, this feeling  so right- jigsaw- the puzzle of life
Goodnight!

Selfish

Selfish! A hilarious word to describe me
I guess overlooking generosity, being selfless in sacrificing things I need for others to be happy
Selfish- would best describe me
I don't hesitate to give nor do you hesitate to receive and when I've given my all you still want more of me
Greed- I am the selfish one indeed
Everything is about you and what you want, what you have, what you need; while I'm busting my ass at work your mouth you feed, fill up the sink and expect me to clean?! Please!
Egotistical dreams- I am selfish indeed
My life is about me, it's mine I have that right so when I come home and lock my door for the night it is not selfish! It's my time to show me how much I care, to ease my mind from the troubles out there
you keep calling my name you need this, you need that - can you do this, can you lotion my back; my body is here but my mind is elsewhere- BACK OFF! Imma burst into tears
Maybe I am a bit selfish but can you blame me? Alone in this big sea with you sharks preying,
taking bites, taking my kindness as weak.
Upping my speed so you can't catch me- I'd rather not speak
I'm Tired of all your needs; sometimes I wonder do you even think about me?
I like to take care of my own; if I had a choice I wouldn't be in anyone's home
I never ask for your help, even your problems I take upon myself
Self Seeking, Self Indulgent, Greedy, Selfish -maybe a reflection of you
but please do not use Selfish as a word to describe ME.
