The chaos in that room
My hair and makeup being done
Sitting with my bridesmaids
Saying prayers before the ceremony
It all feels like yesterday
Not like it’s been 6 yrs ago
When I walked to him and said I Do
But it’s been almost six years
Of being married to my best friend
I forever cherish that memory
Because it was the first day of our life together...
Send me away
Anywhere they can’t find me
My body is bruised, my mind in turmoil
I feel escape beyond the horizon
So take me where magic is
Or where the supernatural lie dormant
I’d love to go to anyplace
That I can become anyone else
No more pain or last name that is tarnished
Just a fresh start and new life
I won’t have to think of what they did
Just know I will never see them again...
Under rosy cheeks
And a bright smile
Is vanity she doesn’t claim
Where her heart should be
Is glass unmoving in her chest
All those who are less than physically
Are scorned by her
Some even completely ignored
Those superficial men and women
Have no heart only eyes for those who make them look better
They seek them out to bully and sneer at them
So beneath their beautiful face
Is selfishness so...
Those who whispered about me
I no longer fear them
I honestly feel sad
As I’d rather know the truth
Because they don’t see what I faced
Only the way I reacted because of certain events
Which doesn’t excuse poor decisions
Or any emotions not properly handled
But they had no clue what led to them
And maybe it wouldn’t have mattered if they knew
But it would give them insight to my depression and...
Henry woke up, eyes burning from the lingering smoke residue soaked in his eyelids. What he saw were large lights over his head, and himself in a hospital bed, his wife Amelia by his side dozing. “Darling, I’m awake!” He says this as he clasps her hand that rests on his leg. She sighs deeply before opening her deep brown eyes.
She sees him with eyes open and smiles widely on the verge of tears. ...
Those words I hear
They bounce off the glass
They don’t absorb like they used to
I would hold them in until I broke
But I let them out the other ear
Each cruel word
Is no match for me
Breathing in love
Breathing out hate
I have family, I have God
This world has beauty
So why let Satan taunt me anymore
With him , I am always prepared
To turn around any situation...
That bright ball of fire high in the sky
It’s always not far behind despite the rain
Even when clouds settle above people
Only a few minutes could bring it back
I am grateful for its warmth around us
When the glow hovers over the water
Helping flowers bloom as summer arrives
And it stays sunny later in the day...
I was just trying to be what you wanted
This veil you covered me in
To try to set that expectation over who I was to disguise myself as
You took your calloused hands and modeled me
As if I was clay and my mind was the kiln
I wasn’t enough as I was
You wanted a specific woman
Not stubborn, or combative
But perfect listener who obeyed you and liked it
I swallow the acid you put into my heart
The s...
