Let It Roll

Nae's Nest —  August 9, 2012 — 2 Comments

Alone it rolls

Down the slope

Nothing to guide it

Nothing to stop it

It won’t be the first

It won’t be the last

Most always it’s sad

Most always blue

Nothing can stop it

Just wait it out

Traffic will clear

Once it’s all out

Sometimes healthy

To allow it to flow

Sometimes it isn’t

How does one know?

One really doesn’t

You just need to pray

It is all that is needed

All there is to say

One can’t have too many

In times of need

When you are at a loss

As to what to do

Just bow down your head

Say a pray your two

Who knows?

She might not be so lonely

If you shed a tear

To roll down that slope

Along with hers

A little cry together

Might shed some light

Showing your love

For your friends

Plight

Magical Wand

Wave a magical wand

Release a healing prayer

Do not hold off any punches

Give it all you got

Ready to give up

My will grows weak

I’ve been unable to write

The last few days

My writing is all I’ve got

That belongs to ME

I have my family

And all that I love

Who will always be there

For them I hold on

But to lose the last thing

That brings me joy

The one thing

Which expresses me

It has not been broken

or tired, or alone

It is always there greeting me

Ready to go

The words are there

Before I know what to write

Spiritually guided

And keeping me in sight

I can’t lose it

I’ve got to be strong

I can’t stay awake

In bed I belong

I sleep away my life

I suppose helps me

In the long run

I hate missing out

Visiting my loved ones

Missing my Aunts

Who came to see me

I was too sick

It just couldn’t be

Missing my mama

Daddy too

Sister, nieces, boys

I miss YOU

It Is Me I Seek

Help me

I long to come out

Trapped inside this broken body

How did this happen?

I do not know who is in that mirror

looking back at me

Where did I go ?

What happened to me?

Dammit! I want to know

Why the silence?

What do you fear?

Did you steal me?

Did you take me away?

I only want to awake

To a sun shiny day

To get out of bed

To feel good and unbroken

No more medication

No more pain

I want to go out

Enjoy a day

Just by walking around

And enjoying the air

I am tired of bed

I am tired of being weak

I only want

To be myself again

It is me I seek
