No One

No one 
No one goes down the road
I need to go
no one sees the things I see
no 
no one does

no one feels
the pain 
the shame I can’t conceal
I’m sure
no one does

But up above, surrounding me
is a presence that I know
I feel, I see
holds,
embraces me

Guiding me throughout
this perilous journey
like no one else ever does
no one
no one does.

You Know

You know

Some days
I know 
and
some days you do. 

No one
is intrigued 
with not knowing 
what to do. 

You do your best 
you do
you do 
what else is there? 

I know 
and
so 
do you too.

Yesterday

When it happened
What did you say
How did you rationalize
All the people breaching
The Capital building
Yesterday?

Nothing, no one
Can make it seem right
in
Today
Tomorrow
or
Yesterday.

Holding On, Holding Tight

Holding on, holding tight
Trying desperately to make it
Thru the day into night.

No one to help, no one to say
Words of wisdom
Nothing on this day.

Where will I be, what will I say
In a world where I’m on my own
For today.

For All I Know

For all I know
It could be not a thing
In a abyss of something.

For all I know
I’m not here.

For all I know
This is a dream
I’ve dreamt before.

But who keeps score
No one
For all I know.

Sacrifice Needs Not To Be

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Sacrifice needs not to be
Nor neither give in
No
This is not your destiny.

Abuse no one in your passage
Just
Proud, strong and kind
These are what is needed
In all of human kind.

Trouble Is I Haven’t Seen The Light

Trouble is I haven’t seen the light
Radiating thru the darkness
Thru the night.

No one
Calls my name
No one holds my hand.

Alone in the quandary
Where oh where
Do I stand.

Finding My Way

Finding my way
Sometimes is the hardest thing
I have to do.

Many paths to take
Which is right
For me, for you.

Let no one decide
Make the decision for me
Or for you.

Inside, we know the right path
The one to take
Just listen, they’ll tell you.

Time Ends

Time ends
All
Passes by.

No one is questioned
Nor knows
The reason why.

Hearts are broken
Mended
Then left to survive.

Some make it
Others
Well we cry.

Seasons Come

Seasons come they do change
Frosting all way down the lane
No one sees, no one does
Know the answers
Of this unconditional love.
