Walk out that Door

I wrote this about 5 years ago when I was going thru a rough patch....................

As I walked in the bedroom
I could see in your eyes
you didn’t want to be there
you’d long ago said your goodbyes

So leave now
Walk out that door
Don’t look back
Can’t take it anymore

it wasn’t the right thing to do, the right thing to do.

Everything you do comes back to you
why couldn’t you be the man i needed you to be
and see what was going on
too many things weighing on me

it wasn’t the right thing to do, the right thing to do.

The consequences
didn’t bring peace
you made a move
that only bought more grief

it wasn’t the right thing to do, the right thing to do.

Wild Man Boy

I wrote this poem for a friend going through a hard time.....

WILD MAN BOY

Wishing things were different
hoping things will change
walls of regret and disappointment
an invisible self made cage

Perceived thoughts of lack of choice
Put you there, my friend
When exactly did it happen
the point where you just gave in?

Your soul searing eyes
can’t see mistress Addiction
smothering you with illusionary comfort
while hope slowly seeps from within

Lie down in night’s warm embrace
with the moon and the stars up there in space
Nocturnal lullabies will ease your pace
thoughts of a better life, your saving grace

Life is now, don’t wait for it to begin
Each new day good things happen
Scooby scooby doo, where are you
No one hurts you, like you do

Katrina's Code - a work in progress

KATRINA CODE

Be good
Try hard
Keep going
Good things will come

Move forward
Don’t look back
Keep your chin up
Be strong

What doesn’t kill you
Will make you stronger
make you a better person
Stay positive

Good things will come
Don’t hold onto resentment
Keep breathing, in and out
Get out of bed every morning

God never gives you more than you can handle
You have to be strong for the kids
(but who’s gonna be strong for me?)
I miss someone being there who had my back.

Be good
Try hard
Keep going
Good things will come
