See Me Be

See me be 
The best
I can possibly be 

No sacrifice 
No sleepless nights 
No what if’s
or
Buts 

Just 
Just the best
Me 
I can be.

Hidden Beneath

Hidden beneath 
the sacrifice 

Deep
in the abyss of darkness 
deceit  

Sits
a radiance of hope 
glimmering 
breathing 

No words spoke 
but
listen 

Listen.

The Darkest Night

Let me hold you tight 
Protect you through 
The darkest night 

Let no harm come to you 
As I watch for wrong to come sneaking in 
On that darkest night 

I will put myself in front of you 
Protect and sacrifice my life 
So that you may live thru this darkest
Darkest night.

Sacrifice

Sacrifice is what we do
Sometimes it’s good
Sometimes we should just
Press ‘undo’.

Your heart knows
What’s best to do
What’s best for you.

Listen quietly
Listen loud
It’ll always bring you
Thru.

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.

I Break My Heart

I break my heart, injure my soul
Sacrifice my love
Feeling remorse forever more.

Nothing
Will bind the pieces together
Must take it out of mind.

Feel
The injuries, the heartache, the crying
Then leave them all far behind.

My Future Seems Bright

Like the night, my future seems bright
Sparkling stars blinking
Radiating light.

No sacrifice is big enough to suffice
No heartache will replace the feeling
Deep within the night.

I can see my way so straight and clear
No darken path
Will I tread my dear.

Let Me Honour You

Let me honour you
For your sacrifice, devotion and courage
Not afraid to die.

Let me honour you
For fighting for peace
And were willing to die.

Let me honour you
For the love of country
You battled, you died.

Let me honour you
Ones I loved
Who fought, who died.

Let me honour you
Fallen soldier
The brave who have died.

Still Wondering

Still Wondering
On this another day
As I haven’t found a way
To conquer all my fears
Or still the voices of distain
And sacrifice all the blame.

Still wondering
What this day has been
And wondering what tomorrow
Will unfold to bring, wondering
Still wondering.
