I can’t be scorned, belittled or debased
I am alive, I have survived
And
I know, know what I need to do.

Have You Seen Optimistic?

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

Have you seen optimistic?
Where, oh where could she be?
At one time she was here
Right beside of me.

She kept me company
Laughed and made me see
The happy, caring way
Just what I need.

But yesterday
She left, she left me
Have you seen optimistic?
If you do, please tell me.

Looking For

March 7, 2018

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.

Let Me Know

April 20, 2016

Dark Night Tree ~ Photo by Patrice

Let me know what is right
What I need
To make it thru this dark night.

Hallowed honour makes the mistake
Thinking its important
What’s at stake.

Nothing matters most of all
Just let me know the name, the voice
I need to call.
