I Can

I can see
but
can I understand? 

The way the world turns
upside down
then
back up again?

Can I stand, stand straight
as it spins
never moving
from where I stand?

I can
oh yes, yes I can.

I Have Been Feeling

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I have been feeling
Not so great
Everything matters
But not at stake.

The life I live
Must be honoured
No too hard
Nor can’t be done.

Understand I can
And
Will overcome.

My Heart Aches

 

 

 

 

My heart aches 
my eyes cry 
my feet walk
a endless lie 

No saviour in sight 
no helping hand 
my remorse
is apparent 

I cannot stand 
on the precipice
of anger 
and
be in command   

No 

But yes 

Yes I can.

You Haven’t Seen

You haven’t seen
nor do you know
the treachery
I can, I will
bestow.

For what reason
frankly
I don’t know.

Bitter
black heart
this
is what I know.

Looking For

Hoping, looking
For a breathing space
To be in harmony
Living life as I know
I can and should be.

Trust me, trust you
Trusting the world
To be what I need
What I’m looking for
And that I seek.
