Shaded Sunshine

Dear sunshine,
Who broke your rays?
I can see in your eyes
You’re shaded
There’s more to your old soul
More to your quirky style
More to your sarcasm 
More to your half smile

Hello sunny day
Where did you get those clouds
I can see them rushing in
Bringing both shade and rain
Invoking emotions deemed nonexistent 
Pulling out tears
Pulling out lies
Pulling me in

Hello morning star
If you’re asking
I’m responding 
And I still am, if you’re not
Lost in this moment 
I’m without words
I’m without wisdom 
I’m simply with you 

Hello fireball 
You’re still in there
You don’t see it now
But just hold on
Ears will listen to you
Arms will hold you 
Palms will caress your face
Fingers will entwine yours

Once more…

Alone

‪I stand alone‬
‪I look at myself‬
‪I know the me seen ‬
‪By nobody else‬
‪It’s all a front‬
‪A necessary mask‬
‪Not to show my weakness‬
‪Nor my scars ‬
‪I stand alone‬
‪I steer into my own eyes ‬
‪Who am I fooling‬
‪With this ego, this artificial pride ‬
‪Behind every man‬
‪Should be his woman, his backbone‬
‪But unfortunately‬
‪I stand alone ‬
