When We Listen

Do you know me? I hide within the shadows I run behind the wind I blend in with the trees Leaves stumble around me with ease. Do you see me? I pass you every day I walk in your shoes I glide behind you as you move I watch you move about your day I wonder what it's like to be you Do you hear me? I reach for you, but I can never get close enough I scream for you, but my words float above you, and are carried away I wonder why you can't hear me I wonder why you wont see me But, I will wait until you do For, I am that power you are searching for I am what you are always hoping to find, but choose to ignore. I am what you have spent your lifetime looking for Once you believe in you, then you will see me Once you find you...you will hear me. Once you know; you can do anything You will have set me free I am that power within you I'm just waiting for you to believe !!

I am a survivor of things no one wants to talk about.   I am a statistic of too many numbers to count. I am a fighter. I am a believer that all things are possible. I have hurt deeper than I thought possible. I have looked up at the world,  I have stood next to the sun, and I have cried tears like rain. I have hidden from life.  I have asked "why" more times than I care to admit. I have spoken my truths and fought for my beliefs.  I have lost, but in losing, I have won. I am human.  I am imperfect  I am as weak as I am strong. I am no longer silent. I am no longer hiding. I am looking for what everyone is looking for...to be seen!  

It's those eyes No, the lips Wait, it's the way he holds my hips Yes, those hands Awe that smile The way we snuggle for awhile. Yummy, his kiss Again with the lips? They hold his thoughts, his feelings, his smile That smile does distract me for quite awhile. His chest, his skin, I wanna crawl within. Was that a bit much? God, how I love his touch. His arms so strong They hold me tight I could stay there all day and night There are other things I could say But, I don't want to scare you away. Just know this... It's his eyes, his lips and the way he holds my hips It's his heart, his smile, the way he holds me for awhile It's the man, I know, who has captured my heart by the way he smiles at my soul. Again with the lips I know, but if you knew what I know... It's that smile!! ;)
