I Am A Survivor

I am a survivor 

I survived hatred, anger  
things
that made me a victim

I am a survivor

I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened

I am a survivor

Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger

I am a survivor

Have moved forward
build a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger

I am

I am a survivor.

Holding On, Holding Close

Holding on, holding close 
all that I love and cherish
through
the darkest time.

Let us not be separated
or
hurt in anyway 
any kind.

This I ask
I pray
to
the wondrous, great Divine.

Hold Me Close

Hold me close, hold me tight
help me understand
the goings on that happened
have changed
my life.

Let no word be spoken
in anger nor strife
let love begin to heal
the hurt, the pain in this
my only life.

Feelings Are Hard To Decipher

Feelings are hard to decipher 
anger, hurt, happiness or joy 
what are they trying to say? 

Maybe tomorrow
I’ll know 
I’ll have answers 
not known, understood
today.

Such A Wonder To Review

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Such a wonder to review
Such a time we had we two.

Nothing came to pass
That hurt or tested our resolve, our view.

Such a time we had we too
Such a wonder to review.

A Tear Drop

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

A tear drop
Runs down my cheek
Taking with it all I cherish
All I seek.

A tear wells up
Clouding my eyes
So they can’t see
The pain devouring me.

A tear drops quietly
On lips unable to cry
Any words that fit
These feelings I dispise.

A tear falls
Down my cheek
Landing on my broken heart
Whose pain won’t go away.

A tear flows down
Taking with it all love
All joy
I hoped I’d found.

I feel
A tear running down.

Kado Feeling Blue

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Kado feeling blue
Feels the pain in his mouth
A tooth or two cracked off
Hurting, drooling too
Kado oh so blue.

Kado feeling blue
Its hard to be
A big guy in pain
And not show it too
Kado oh so blue.

Kado feeling blue
No supper, no dinner
Can’t eat so
Hungry now too
Kado oh so blue.

Kado feeling blue
Doctor pulled that damn tooth
Second one too
Hole size of a quarter
Where once a tooth
Used to chew
Oh Kado feeling blue.

Kado not so blue
Resting peacefully
Had some dinner too!
Life is good
Kado saw the tooth fairy
Kado not so blue.

Sometimes

Sometimes the world will cry
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes the rain will wash away
The hurt, the anger and the pain
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes I need to say
I’ll cry but only for today
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes

Hurt

This is what I say…

 

 

 

“No way
No way can hurt
Hurt me today.”
