Why did I stay?

I stayed because I didn't know I could leave.

My mother said I'd have a good life.

So, I stayed.

I stuck it out, and chose my battles.

I didn't know love wasn't a battlefield,

So, I stayed.

I stayed when he said, "You'll never find anyone better! " because I believed him.

He knew who I was. He saw it.

And if only he could convince me that that wasn't me,

I'd stay.

Until staying meant I would die.

But my soul has too much fire to be extinguished.

So, I left.

And I took all the burning pieces of me and set his world on fire.

SMUDGE

Why do I feel like I belong in places I know I'm not supposed to? In the cracks, in the rawness of reality, I sit in peace. Such an odd disturbance I am. It's only among the odd, among the shadow I feel at ease to just be me. I was not made for fancy things. I belong in the dirt and the blood. I'm no royal beast. The finer things are wasted on me. I just want to be left alone. To not pretend to not fit in but to succeed in the mess I am.

Just before we took that final leap, From childhood into something else, We once again called a truce. As the days and weeks go by, So few, I find, are what they seemed. But you, I know, I wish to keep close to me. There've been many years and changes, Yet, somehow we've made it though. Always friends, again, in the end.

Wake Up/In Rain

Wake up as if each day’s blessing; Every hour is awareness, Ev'ry minute’s a miracle. And every second - all fairness.

Wake up to what beyond explain - A moment with you caught in rain.
