  • NOTHING AT ALL

    How does one sum up a zero?
    No equation, nothing, absent 
    Much like a silent L in the word would
    Would you love a zero, if you could?
     
    Describe for me what emptiness means
    Can being empty tear one at the seams?
    And if so, should you walk away?
    From the very thing that means nothing these days?
     
    No equation, no value, no interpretations made
    From the very beliefs that chronically stains
    We repeat words of no sentiment, yet with much recourse
    Left a zero with tons of remorse
     
    Nothing to evaporate from
    It’s just a meaningless sum
    No voice, no concrete sustenance; can you even hear my call?
    Because when all is said and done, am I nothing at all?
     
    And can you love that?  Would you take it into your arms?
    The dimensions unseen, would you bring me into your heart?
    My sorrows are pathetic, at best
    Left bowing down to assumptions, forgetting all the rest
     
    If zero is nothing and nothing can be seen
    How do you know that the one you hold is me?
    How do you know I am the one you are watching fall
    How do you know I am something, somebody, not nothing at all?
     
    How do you convince a torn soul?
    Those considerations remain unknown
    That everything I have done up to this point; is worth a value
    How can a nothing call this home without you?
     
    Because I am empty, void, obsolete 
    Without the one that gives me meaning
    A zero, a null and void, divided by nothing; in fear of the unknown, I stall
    That in truth, I feel I have been canceled out, beckoning your call
     
    Big words, big meanings, they fall deaf on me
    Superseded by this crying disease 
    That without love, I remain haggard, drowning in my own sea
    That when someone refers to knowing nothing at all, I automatically think …
     
    They are speaking of me

  • Good-Bye

    I ended the pain today
    Because I could not stand it anymore
    I ended the pain today
    Because I no longer wished to remain nonexistent
    To be nothing in a past of sorrows evermore
    To becoming no one to those who never knew of me before
    I ended the pain today
    Because I grew tired of praying for death to succumb me
    I ended the pain today
    Because I want to live but didn’t know how
    It wasn’t an easy step for me to take
    It wasn’t a simple decision for me to make
    It was never going to be a process generously accepted
    First I had to learn to trust
    Second I had to learn what Faith really means
    I had to let go of the pain other’s caused me
    I had caused others
    Pain I held unto for so long I had to let go
    It was me I had to forgive
    Even if it was not me to blame
    I had to let that go too
    I ended my pain today…
    The very moment I accepted you my Lord, my Savoir
    I ended my pain today
    When I chose to let myself and the world go
    It wasn’t easy
    It will never be simple
    But I will never be alone again
    And I will always be home
    When I would not or could not believe
    You were there for me
    No I didn’t die
    Just my way of thinking
    I ended my pain today
    Because I was willing to let go of the bad influences
    Of the pain, this deep dark penetrating ache
    But not God!  He always had faith in me
    Because of you Lord I can now spread my wings
    For this I thank you Lord…
    For everything!

  • Refuge

    I long to go to heaven

    I long only to be good

    So that for once I could be loved

    Instead of always misunderstood

     

    I long to know the touch

    Of one gentle but not frail

    To be a part of the grand design

    Where I do not always seem to fail

     

    To love, to laugh and be free

    A life changing event

    To grow, to be nurtured

    Not to be relented against

     

    To be this child never more

    To know what it means to be loved

    To give myself to those I care about

    No longer hiding from the ones I trust

     

    I long to remain altruistic

    Within this circle of tragedy, I am restrained

    I long to walk in this life proudly

    Never again forsaking my own name!
