There they stood on the fire escape I relate so well to their situation My station set in empathy Like me, they have endured so much Couldn’t touch them for fear of them jumping Couldn’t bring help to help me handle The muddle that may have been pending Was thinking what could I do? I knew I couldn’t keep them there forever I’d never gain their trust I just needed another minute Had to get it without scaring my new friend To that end, I leaned back into my window “Don’t go,” I thought Brought back what I needed And greeted them with a click and a flash So rash was I I said bye as they, the beautiful butterfly Fluttered by and disappeared As I feared they would

Powerless am I against the falling snow when I know that I alone can’t clear it all. Still it falls, a perfect pall, stamping out the way that I lay by broken shovel, aching back.

give me a kiss in your car while we're driving through the night i can light up your world if you lean into me dance with me don't be afriad, or do if you really want nochalant, keep it down low, you never tell, they never know let me go, stay starstruck, if you please let me be, its bound to happen, i never stay

this is for my daily streak. :)

This is hard The yard needs mowed You owed the landscaper The hairdresser needs money too Have you done your taxes Throwing axes is a game The same thing happens It depends on him Try them and see Not me buy you That too is done The fun of life The strife of living The giving season Tessa🦋

I fly through air No errors in my walk I can’t talk but I dance

One step after another The terror is true But I’m through lying

I live for the music Fantastic notes that lift My spirit to inner peace

The drops of doubt, cloud my once empty head Bright red of color, sees white, change of dread

Whispers of no, how come, only one time, tells Ring less bells, once chimed, now silent, fells

Packing it up, and leaving, for just a short while Feeling pretty vile, heart in pieces, in a tiny pile

Words of don’t go, I’ll change, only just for you Feeling blue, but not for you, go leave, it’s due

How is it possible that I love you more than you love you You shine blue bright radiating light you don’t see Undermine yourself, your self-doubt casting long shadows Nothing grows but weakness under a cracked veneer My dearest I love you too much to just stand by Whilst you deny your magic

Though the winds may seem fierce And pierce through your heart they do I say you, I say you…Carry on Life goes on and when life gets going Know one thing and that thing is push Don’t shush that fire in your soul Never fold or submit into defeat For your treat, your reward is nigh Don’t ask why I say these things unto you For I too must follow this way of living So my being can one day be whole And oh what a glorious day that will be For unto thee will arise a true champion So carry on…

I’m not a writer Occurred is the only word I can think of Discovered this app holding my baby I see this is hard.
