Poem: Rainy Days

The pitter patter of drops on a rainy day, the heavy heart won’t lift when weather is this way. No will to smile in the gray light, to laugh or play. ~ I sit inside, close the blinds, and distract my thoughts. Hard to feel motivated when I feel distraught. Is this a normal feeling …

Poem: Looking Up

Been looking down at where my feet land every day, trying to make sure my steps are flawless, on track. Afraid that one look up will make me lose my way, stray from the path and be unable to come back. ~ Refusing to leave the house and have fun with friends, terrified that a …

Motivational Poem: Crawling

I’m crawling, climbing, fingers dig into the dirt. I’m falling, slipping, My feet backslide a little. ~ Teeth grind together. Stinging, raw fingers find grip again. A journey I weather, ascending the mountain of Life. ~ I see pits in the rock face. Gnarled hands reach out to snag me. They say to give up …

Poem: Midnight Walk

Voices in my mind. Answers I can’t find. A tear slides and falls. I’m in my sins entwined. ~ Time for a midnight walk. A quiet stroll around the block. A look at the stars, a plea to God for a talk. ~ Pouring out the problems, feeling at the bottom, clasping hands, knuckles white, …

On Top

I sit at the very top of everything. Well, I suppose not everything. The sky is above me, stretching from horizon to horizon, its vast blue openness clear and freeing. A few clouds float above my head as well, light and fluffy. They must be light, I think, smiling, to be able to drift so …
