Left Alone, Left behind, sitting in the burning disbelief. How can one be strong if they constantly fall into silence, Slowly growing weak? Congratulations, You've demolished the privilege of my consent. It's fairly easy to earn my trust, and very hard to break it. Yet, you've focused all your might; and now, I'm left behind What pain can you claim? How dare you complain! I've held you up, Yet you've dropped me, Off the cliff of deception. I'm done. NO I say, I'm done deceiving myself into believing your disguise. We're finished. You left me behind, No more will I try


to piece together the impossible puzzle of the shards of our "never ending" friendship. I will always listen when you need an ear, but next time I may not come near So fast. You have always been amazed at the kindness I can give freely. I have tried to help you glow with it too, But, no more can I help you when I am depleted of energy thanks to you. I'm tired, you know? This will not help me grow! my heart is growing to hold the world, But today, today and forever on, I know you don't want to be in that world. You're mad because I closed my inner doors, it's something I learned from you. I've learned to protect myself, because, "friends are folly," said you. There's nothing I can do now, you've shouted who you are. I just haven't listened But today I finally did. So good-bye friend! See you differently again. I won't miss you‌ But, thank you; For all the lessons you taught me.


I wish you the best‌ Listen to this poem: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1VpI7MFAcOJ

The Breeze The Breeze flings my hair up and pushes it aside I am Free of worry, of doubt, of fear. The Breeze Catches me when I fall. The Breeze comforts me when I scrape my knee and my heart bleeds. The Breeze whispers loving encouragement, when I am finally ready to Stand Up for me. The Breeze is more, Than gusts of wind, to me; it is the force Which drives me to


Victory! The Breeze is my Hope, for better days, and my Love For learning Teaching me to... grow Listen to Breeze! http://vocaroo.com/i/s02HbagxEKzk

Ocean The sweet, salty air covers my pain, I left behind, Before the soft sand began caressing My feet. I cry The salty air mixing my tears with the Ocean. I run The sand gently accepting my Anger. I fall The sand softly scrapes my knee and moves so I can Mourn. Another young girl comes on she runs straight toward the waves.


She pushes herself through, the cleansing Waves, smacking her board down. She gazes into the sea looking for the perfect wave Ah Ha! There it is. She is ready. She pulls herself On her chariot of waves And exclaims "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Her joy Reaches out, even to me. I grab hold of the sweet dreams of youth, And march into the waves I, think it stings But she, is completely free. I fall into the


pattern of the waves, my life becoming as Strong and Powerful As the Ocean Heart. I swim toward a better time. I find it. There is the girl. She hands me her board, memories flush Through my hand to my Heart as I take hold. "You try." she says all knowingly. I run into the familiar waves. "My friends! bring me back to the life I love, the life I need, Again" A Wave grows to a giant wall I jump on the board climbing the current


Splash, the wave falls, I zoom forward Starting my new journey… Listen to Ocean: http://vocaroo.com/i/s05iY8V00lZ0

The Grand Speech In my head… I climb my invisible stage in front of all those Judging eyes. Do they See me? I don't know what to say. Will they even Hear me? Wil they Listen to my story? I think do I want to do it? Is it really worth it? Am I Worth it?


I ask The people who support me. "Why wouldn't you?" They say. "You are amazing! I would vote for you. You are perfect. You are amazing. You Can!" I go home. I write the best speech I've ever written. I come back. I tell. I did what I came to do‌ TO TRY. Listen... http://vocaroo.com/i/s0FfFE7MfNqm
