Pleasantly helping, pleasantly being
the most my world
my life, myself
can be.
There’s no better one to know
then me
there’s nothing I want, desire
except to be.
The one who loves
cares and sees
beauty in all life and pleasantly being
all I can be.

Sitting down
To think of something
Intelligently bright and just right
For the discussion I’m having
With myself tonight.

Crisis happened, crisis passed
Striving to breathe deep breaths
At last, at last.
Hopeful for tomorrow
Sorry for what didn’t last
Finally I can accept myself
At last, at last.

When you see myself
You see someone else
Not the one I want to be
But the one I let you see.
Therefore
I will try to appear to be
The person who’s good for you
And most of all the best of me.

So many commitments lost
So many not fulfilled
Looking at myself
In disgust
For not being where I should.
So many changes
Were not mine.
Life goes on but in the meantime
Let me be the person
I should and want to be
Not losing anything that is dear
And right now lost to me.
