Sunkist Woman February 23, 2011

All wrapped up

Burning the day

A magnetic rush empties my eyes

Noticing my reflection again

When you’re around I don’t know who I am

 -

We lay here blissful and giddy

Excited with lust

Surprised by attraction

Broken, yet social

Worlds collide

- 

Brown eyes

Light skin

Smile as wide as the sea

I am an artist

You are my medium

I use you to create

 -

What I see is all that matters

A scene played at the cinema

Your story told by me

Able to portray my truth to them

Nothing you can do to change my perception

I bet you’re reading this wondering who I’m talking about

 -

Strong

Anticipated

Sun kissed

Like leaves stretch toward the sky

My soul reaches for you

White stains sparkle, catching your attention

Welcome

 -

Alive in the flesh

Dead in spirit

No wonder you’re a disappointment

Struggle with steps

The easiest of steps

Draped in ego

Yet, no better than the rest

 -

Exceptionally exceptional I am she

Delivered, I fought

Four to zero

I’m in the lead

Chalked up to life lessons

God rules my reality

Everclear February 4, 2011

Breathe

Deep breaths.

In and out

Just breathe.

I’m left alone

Separated.

Now I can finally breathe.

 -

Slightly sad

I do miss him.

Not the man I now know

Rather, who he was before.

I am happier without him.

I was miserable

Craving more.

 -

I allowed lust to break me.

I lost everything

Hard work gone wasted.

I’ve taken back my heart

I’m in the driver’s seat now.

I learned my lesson

The hard way.

 -

I always struggle

Being drawn to those that use

Abuse

Throw away.

I shouldn’t allow adore to consume me.

The level of sin and despair I was trapped in

Will never again survive me.

 -

Focusing on

Jesus

Myself

And genuine relationships.

Being cautious with my heart

Without changing who I am.

Thankful I learned this

I am now stronger

Smarter

More in harmony with my spirit.

I eliminated toxic wastes

My purpose is clear.

 -

 -

[You may not believe this

God uses you to reach others.

He used you to reveal me.

God has a master plan

I trust Him.

 -

I’m sure you already know

You’re not that

Smart

Nice

Successful

Loving

Compassionate

Understanding

Sympathetic

Caring

Or attractive.

 -

You are a

Selfish

Rude

Dishonest

Cruel

Ignorant,

Failure.

I am content being ignored

By you.

 -

I no longer want

To attract people like you.

Apparently, my message is being received

Loud and clear.

Accomplish all the fame and fortune

This world has to offer,

You will never be as happy as I

Until you are able

To be honest with yourself

About whom you really are.

 -

You want others to feel about you

All the horrible things

You feel about you.

You make your own worst judgments

Come true.

Call yourself an asshole

Treat others like shit

They will eventually agree with you.

 -

Want compliments?

Change.

It is obvious

You are not ready or capable

To change right now

I have to change.

You’ll be left in the dust

To fend for yourself

You’ll be fine

I did it.]
