VALUES

dedicated to my family

 

Ain’t it difficult when

Money’s not at your call?

When your pockets have lint,

So you can’t eat at all.

 purple rain

How will we survive,

With no food and no drink?

The Gas is shut off,

So no hot water sink.

 

As a child, I was taught,

Rain showers do fall.

“Just dust yourself off, my dear,

Get up, stand tall!

 

“Try, try again,” I heard.

T’was something I’d dred.

This chant that was often

Drilled in my young head.

 

My thought… It’s a value,

We’re supposed to hold dear.

Though, if not thought out right,

It may not stand clear.

 

“It’s quite Wise to save,

Information you learn.

It could one day impact,

The money you earn.”

 

I’m real glad I kept

Those learned values of mine.

It relieves me to know,

That I’ll always be fine!

That Family Way

Dedicated to My God Parents

Family… often in misery

Endures so much pain.

While compiled of mystery

That family way

 

Insane Mind?  For a Reason!

An unobvious shame

Don’t forget what I heard,

In that family way.

 

Psychiatry warned me.  Hmmpf!

My family… ignored me.

Silent I shall stay…

My old, family way?

 

Sailed the coast all my life

Soon, begins, my flight.

Then Reality… STRIKES!

               …Umm, hmm.  That’s Right!

In, that family way.

 

Not with hand, nor with fist

It was Words on Their list.

Impacting me harshly, I say.

All in, that family way.

 

Only asked for a hand

Those, I thought would agree

Then shockingly branded a

Li – a – bil – i – ty !  hee hee

In their, own family way.

 

Cause it’s, My Reason & My Life

Things all in big disarray.

Screw This!  Went Astray…

That, NON-family way!

To my Godparents:

Thank You for contributing to one of

My life’s major “Blockades.”

I believe, this was one of my most

Creative, communicative, and ultimately

Appreciative ways to express my

Thoughts & say how I felt on that day…

 

One day you will see what I REALLY

Had to go through during that time…

RUN AWAY

RUN AWAY

ocean_rocks

I ran away, afraid of what the outcome could possibly be.

Like a young child, not knowing how to make-up my own mind.

Frightened by what others may call my self-inflicted history,

Believing in the reality that at least family should find in me.

 

So many times in my life, I had to run so far away from the pain

Away from the noise that most would call a regular day.

So many times I wished I could stay and hide, afraid,

Feeling I have no other choice but to forget, again today.
