"Recognizing Me..."

Truth be told
I believe
We feed
On fitting
In
Belonging
To something
Someone
Some place
And for me
I want
Nothing more
Than
Myself
To know me
And me alone
To belong
And breathe
And believe
In my own
Skin
My own
Smile
To let
Me
Inspire me
Drive me
Leave me
Whole
Let my insides
Give me
Relief
Focus freely
Follow through
Let go
Of all
That holds me
Down
Escape
And realize
Exactly
What love
Is
Where it comes from
And
Realize
It's all about
Me

Untitled For Now

Your hypnosis
Binds me
Tied tightly
Struggling against
A cause I believe in
Bravery
For my temped
Heart
Is a farce
Without you
Nothing is real
My motions and emotions
Simply emulate
That in which
Is remembered
Memories
Of you and I
Together
I’ve failed as your
Past
I want to be your
Always
So be it
My cloudy eyes
Have chosen this ignorance
I believe
Tongue-tied
Denied
Yet trying
Fighting for satisfaction
Of my own kind

“Disappearing Act”

Unbeatable boundaries
Blinded
Feeling faint
And ignored
I move beyond
And uncover my possibility
And shutter
Knowing I'm alone
Unknown to most
Especially you
And I'm defended
When I wish
You'd be my protection
My shelter
My shield
The safety
I want to believe in
And yet no longer know
You
Or the feeling
I close my eyes
Imagining
Once more
I let the breeze role-play
Your breath
And I feel your hands
Where sunlight brushes me
My happy demeanor
Stuck in this moment
This memory
Eventually though
My eyes will
Remain open
I will be forced
Face to face
Staring blankly
Back at me
Longing for no one
Wanting for nothing
Believing little
In words
In love
Missing you
And finding
Emptiness
All that fills
My insides
Since you have disappeared
From
Within me
