Earthquakes no longer feel foreign to my body
My mind is racing and my ego is gaudy
Hurricanes no longer cause shivers down my spine
Everything they are is everything that is mine
Tornadoes no longer can blow my life over
My body stands fast as the grass and the clover
Thunder no longer scares me at night
The sounds from above are the sounds in my mind
Forever no longer sounds like sure death
...
I listen and watch
The words begin to fall
Out of Grandpa’s mouth
He breaks down the walls
The wisdom he shares
Moves mountains in me
These burdens I can’t bear
Like he can really see
He says we become good
At what we practice day by day
I share it with my students
And they take it as they may
These roots run deep
The lessons antique
Listening to the wise
Leaves us so much to keep
When they’re g...
Time had never passed so slowly
Time went by, kept me weeping lowly
Stuck in the mundane
Stuck forever won’t keep me sane
Time had never passed so slowly
Each moment I could feel my soul bleed
Stuck in life’s long line
Have I ever felt fine?
Time had never passed so slowly
Time kept ticking and left me lonely
Stuck without hope
Stuck going down slope
Time had never passed so slowly
I left the c...
There is this feeling that haunts a soul
It is the feeling of being
Of growing too old
This feeling is in me, I feel it sometimes
It haunts me at day
But mostly at night
What I wasn’t expecting is how I would feel
When another person told me
This feeling is real
This feeling is one of sorrow and pain
It makes you feel
Your life is of shame
Life comes with a burden
A burden unwelcomed
Let’s ju...
You never truly saw me
For who I was alone
You only had a picture
Of a life and love and home
You placed me in that picture
As a caring submissive wife
Not knowing I would leave you
And cause you all that strife
You never truly knew me
A soul not hard to learn
I asked you simple questions
And it’s like you never heard
I really thought I loved you
But the truth always comes out
You only had one sou...
I told you, but I’m not sure.
How did you take it?
How was it heard?
I told you, but it haunts me still.
What were you thinking?
Did it take you for thrill?
I told you, but I wonder.
Do you see me the same?
Did I commit a blunder?
I told you, but I fear.
Will you tell others?
My heart, did you hear?
I told you, but I can’t know.
Do I truly trust you?
Will you let my truth show?
I told you, but ...
Stay gentle
Don’t get so tough
Stay gentle
Though life can be rough
Stay gentle
The world is so cruel
Stay gentle
Let love be your fuel
Stay gentle
Our system is mean
Stay gentle
Like the grass is green
Stay gentle
Be a safe place for others
Stay gentle
Show care like a mother
Stay gentle
The world knocks us down
Stay gentle
Keep your heart sound
Stay gentle
Not everyone can
Stay gentl...
Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good.
Live your life and enjoy it, the way God said you should.
It sounds so easy, when you say it like that.
But what I can’t get over, is all this excess fat.
My brain won’t let me enjoy this life.
There’s a constant reminder of pain and of strife.
I try my best, to get out of my comfort zone.
But my brain keeps saying I need to stay ho...
