Follow The Lead:

My mind was always subtle to a fault, 

"Never settle for anything less",

They would tell me repetitively,

But what I thought, thought was for perfection,

My heart was always flying into the wind,

My smile chased with a slide of vodka,

All these years my love was a lie,

But what I didn't know was that life gave my a lesson,

My feet was always too quick to stand still,

I had jumped and skipped too far for too long,

My body tired and sore from the beatings,

But what I never knew was that this was only the beginning,

My eyes stayed focused on my own form of beauty,

You had given me the eyes that I needed,

Life had given me a handful of grenades,

But I just made some tasty lemonade. 

Inch by Inch, Worm:

The night was sleek,

The black covering shadows,

The rain tore through airy wind,

My hope would surely close,

The pain was torrid through my spine,

My head pounded like a tin roof,

My mind scattered throughout the night,

My thoughts hovering and aloof,

My eyes sank towards the muddied ground,

I saw a burrowing worm making it's way home,

His bitty self dug and dug,

While I stood there reading his poem,

He disappeared within the dark night,

Along with my deep black thoughts,

His tiny self came to my pleading rescue, 

And was the stifler for my bleeding clot.  

Goodbye, Sigh:

The darkened clouds loomed overhead,

The sun asleep on this breaking morning,

The bird's chirp silent in the black,

As you could hear everyone's mourning,

The birds stretch their bitty wings,

The darkened clouds thin out within the sky,

The trees wave goodbye to the black,

And the gloom begins to die,

The sun lurks upon the horizon,

The darkened clouds losing it's perched war,

The birds test their newly awakened flight,

As the black was torn at the core,

The sun rose up against the black,

The darkened clouds dispersed within the nigh,

The birds chirped a mightily victory,

As the black gave into the sun with a sigh.
