Swimming in a sea of doubt, Overcoming life’s bout. Nothing ventured, nothing gained; Nothing’s gained without adversity…

Painting —Playing in the rain Dancing —In the bathroom mirror Praying

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

Grasping at pipe dreams Something good Is never what it seems Riding a wave of discontent The sting of doubt unrelenting

Staring into blue Picturing myself with you Dancing in neon lights Drinking till the sun comes up Getting lost in a sea of lonely he…

Chasing shadows In summer meadows Lingering by the wayside Watching memories of you die Fighting worry

Staring into your auburn eyes Wishing I could bathe in your lov… Dreaming of you when I’m awake My head spins whenever we kiss My Body quakes

Fighting in shades of gray Mouthing words I cannot say Before the battle ends Night descends Falling upon hearts betrayed

The organs played As I began to fray Sitting in a state Of being perpetual irate Supposing death a suiting thing

When you want to sleep But the sheep are gone Lying flat on your back Staring into black Playing with shadows

Danger stalks far & wide Questions linger in the air Waiting at the curb to catch a rid… Staring at the car lights Ready to set off a flare

I was a vixen Fixen to make A man outta you Drooling in a pool Made for fools

I listened but didn’t comprehend The meaning to my existence Is but an end To which there is no mean Gravitating towards starlight

Lifeless & alone Lying in a winter field of white My frost bitten skin Glistening in the light Lifeless & alone
