Pinky Promise




I pinky promise 
I will stay.

Once upon a while ago
I made a choice that I had to go
I couldn't stand the pain any more
I was embarrassed to be seen
I was afraid of what you might think
If you knew what had happened to me.

 I carried the shame of someone else's evil
I carried the guilt of another's bad deed
He walked around with his head in the clouds
While I shuffled with my eyes to the ground.

 I couldn't stand to feel the way I was feeling
pain pulled at my heart
pain tugged at my soul
pain suffocated my will
pain destroyed my hope.

 So thoughts to end it all
creeped in
No one would miss me
It would be better for them ~ if I wasn't here.
Oh the things you think 
when you're deep in fear.

 So I gave up
I swallowed them all
I drifted away.
I heard a small girls voice call
"Stay, you are stronger than you know."
Curiosity seems to have gotten the better of me.
I wanted to know just what she did see.

 And what do you know...
Though life isn't easy
I am stronger than the pain
that tried to consume me!

Your soul to keep

I want to float:  with the wind I want to sail  on top of the ocean, glide next to the waves before their  anger is broken. I want to feel: the beat of a warm heart pounding within my chest to a rhythm  that knows no pain. I want to touch: beauty in a kiss tears of joy happiness in love a kind mind a true embrace. I want to hear: lost words never spoken promises that will never be broken. I want to fly: spread unseen wings feel the sun heat each feather warm my blood  lift my soul inhale, breath, jump I'll fly

Life

A fish who longs to be in water A bird who can not wait to fly A snake who wishes to recoil  A mole searching for better ground Sky so lifted to give space Moon afraid to show his shape Hides behind a blanket of night Stars blink to share their light Oceans anger crashes down Beaches lying with the sand Rocks climb to stand tall Wind watches them all fall  Mountain tall enough to roar Let loose his inner being Earth was burned to begin again. Gave life back to the living.
