Dark moments change you...

Dark moments change you
They shake your values.
What then do you do
When everything That made you ... is no longer relevant?

Dark moments change you
They break your faith.
What then do you do
When everything you hoped for ... is no longer possible?

Dark moments change you
They take your reasons for living.
What then do you do
When everything you Lived for ... no longer exists?

Dark moments change you
Sometimes forever.
But no matter how dark the moment, it is indeed just that ... momentary
It will not last forever ... Unless you live in the past.

The Elephant In The Room

There’s an elephant in the room

She’s in the corner, but she’s there alright

Frequently seen then forcibly unseen

I guess some things are better left unsaid

Like a forced poem by a fake poet

But not all things should be kept in the dark

And it’s not a secret that your past continues to affect you

It's seen it in the quick triggering of your keen temper

Or when you lust for pleasure and power…. pills and potions

You’ve morphed your sorrows into a twisted form of your own morphine

Yet you refuse to acknowledge that anything’s wrong

That’s the elephant in the room

She’s depleting your peace and weathering your relationships

You’ve got to get her out!

In fact, let it ALL out

It’s alright to weep and be weak sometimes

It’s alright to admit mistakes and regrets

It’s alright to forgive and begin to heal

It’s alright

‘Cause after that

Eventually

You’ll really be alright

Consciousness

Consciousness came to visit her last week
But unlike common sense
Consciousness doesn’t visit too often, nor stay too long
That's why she can't retain simple comprehensions 
Like the truths behind the extent of her worthiness
Notions far too lofty for the jokers in her 'DM'
Yet ironically, she keeps looking to them 
For her validation
And so, they continue her violation
Poor baby, she doesn’t know any better
She lost consciousness last week!
...Consciousness of the time her Daddy showed her 
How a man should treat a lady
…Consciousness of the time the Son of man died for her 
Because that's how much He values her
…Consciousness of her heart
And how it should be guarded above all else

Because out of it are the issues of life
...Baby girl... you've got to do better!

Like Mama Angelou told you:
“Do the best you can until you know better
Then when you know better, do better.”

The Fault's in Our Stars (a Haiku)

Abstract horoscopes

Sure then insecure. So-so...

The fault's in our stars
