Easy to make a judgement call
As you see me now.
But you don’t know me.
You don’t know what I’ve been through at all.
Late to the life party.
You don’t get a say on
the moment you’ve come in.
You haven’t walked in my
shoes.
You can’t call the shots.
If you weren’t there for it to begin.
Please. Thank you. Are you okay?
Imagine if there was a little more of that
in this world.
Wow! What a beautiful place it would be.
You never really know if someone is struggling.
You never know what that person has going on in their mind.
Leave the negativity with the rubbish.
Blaze a trail of light & kindness from them to find.
It’s a safe place here.
You don’t have to be afraid.
We can all choose how to be.
Be sure to know I’ll be that friend.
If you’re ever in need.
BLANK PAGE.
A tornado of our memories before me.
But the pen won’t write what I need to say.
Versions of my heart are crumbling
Under this vulnerability.
There’s an identity.
Covered by invisibility.
A safety guard in place.
Thinking back to the look on your face.
If I’d cry right now there would be enough tears for a river to flow.
I’d take the ghost of you
& never let you go.
I just feel lucky everyday to have anything to look back on at all.
Let alone all the amazing things I can recall.
Learning to accept what has been
& take in feelings & emotions at every stage.
Life may be completed
But in the end it’s far from a blank page.
