The Morning
(there will be joy)
(there will be joy)
The darkest nights
The roughest storms
The endless ache
The deepest fears
There may be challenges
There may be chaos
There may be tears
It will all be worth it
In the morning
there will be joy

We Have Never
Face gone flush
Butterflies storming in my stomach
The knot growing tighter
I just may puke
Filled with anxiety
Vexed by doubt
I turn to reach
Then stop
You open the door
The moment gone
Intensity has peaked
Possibility begins to plummet
Second guessing myself
I find a way home
We have never been this close before.

Mystified
The road ahead from where I’ve been, spanning oceans of time, traveling ever forward, the clock turning back.
Stay the course or cross my path, all directions head into the unknown.

Been Here Before
Caution! Uneven road ahead.
Rockslide area just around the bend.
Road is slippery, even when dry.
Lane narrows, now entering a flash flood zone, ice warning, bridge ahead is out.
Traffic diverted, alternate route suggested. Rough road, no passing lane.
What you can’t go around, you just gotta go through.
Slow traffic, keep to the right.
Yes, you’ve been here before.

Look in a mirror instead
Want the truth
Want the love
Want the passion
Want the joy
Want the laughter
search the world for the want
find only a need for more
look in a mirror instead
find beauty in the view

Doesn't Mean I'm Done
When does done mean done? You may be gone, but not forgotten. You hide in the cracks of memories. Not quite faded and slipping out of focus. Here today, and another day, and another. Over you, moved on, in the past, long gone, and it still doesn't mean I'm done.

The Only Thing Stronger
Bound and restrained. Depression and anxiety.
Fear of anything, everything. Surrounded by hate armed with unbalanced power.
Needing more than survival.
Calling on reserves. Building something better to leave the future. Leaning into love. It’s the only thing stronger.

The Shape of the Void
There are gaps in memories, spaces of emptiness where friends once stood. A constant absence, reminding of a lacking and longing to be whole again. An attempt to balance the universe, embracing the expanding hollowness of time.

Resistance of Memory
Each day felt like a minute suspended for a week and hour. Each month seemed never-ending. Anxiety, Depression, Compulsion, Agoraphobic tendencies, and Anger were on full tilt from wake to sleep. It's no secret why the memory resists and accurate retelling.
