Raw Truth Staring You In The Eye

Raw truth staring you in the eye

just recording the pictures that I see

the faces that lose and the others

that have won in a competition they

seek against themselves along

with all the people they meet.

Nothing to hide it's all in the mix

never pretending brushing off the

sugar coating the covers so

many eyes while they fear to

say the truth while they kiss

someone on the cheek.

Silent words never spoken

fear dripping down the tears

like pouring rain, someone

always telling go down this road.

Someone looking for a heroine to save

them from themselves when the moonlight glows.

No heroine comes along. Only left with

what the things you've told yourself

listening to those words you've always said

repeating mistakes over again in your head.

If you turn the pages of a book memorizing

all the words maybe you will soon forget

and never slip away once again into

the victim mentality of the past.

So many stories told creating another

mystery writing page by page

discovering some day you're the only one

to defeat, as you look in the mirror

meeting the two sides of your own mentality.

Light and darkness meeting eye to eye

learning to love, forgiving the other for

all the mistakes.

Nurturing one another for the failures

they both decided to keep. Seeking to become

whole and complete turning to each other

to finally become at peace within silently

understanding they have to be friends

while they co-exist in harmony.

I see it in your eyes when love lights up your eyes

I see the darkness when fear floods your thoughts

the way you walk when someone vents anger

feelings explode, emotions rumble as they creep.

I see the tears in your eyes when someone leaves

becoming just a faded memory.

I feel the pain watching you wait for someone to come

only never to showing up as you feel the defeat.

The lectures you give yourself repeating the events

in your mind like a film on a television screen

beating yourself up as the pain floods so deep.

Never truly learning to forgive yourself.

The light that covers your eyes fills your hear with

all the love and respect you can't give yourself.

Kissing the child that was abused in the blackness

of others weaknesses, that came with an emotional

war, blow after blow as you tumbled to the ground

never escaping the prison fence.

Hoping someday you would be released

from self-pity. They told you never blame them.

Comforting your soul while you have no other company.

Soothing yourself as you rocked yourself to sleep.

The light inside burning an eternal flame lighting

the way until angels came to heal the sorrow

hidden inside of you.

It was never your fault for what they did

understanding the truth unveils, that you were

the purest soul the moment you were born.

Every kiss made up for every bruise.

Every hug mended the heart as it began to unfold

like a rose radiating love empowering you to stand up and speak.

Struggles you no longer need to keep, just let them go

understanding the past is done, while you enter the sunlight.

Summer is here now closing the chapters of winters past.

Lying the photographs down realising they are only images in your mind

that you no longer need to keep.

It's time to dance on the shores of the sea

feeling the wings come out transforming into a butterfly that flaps so brilliantly

freely giving love inside as you know while you sat in your cocoon

God transformed you into a brilliant masterpiece.

Now the storms come, now at this time, never fearing just knowing what is to de done.

Loving yourself, keeping the darkness and the light in balance, this is the key.

Creating a new story with every step, never looking back staying focused

on the present moment becoming alive.

Feeling the warmth of the summer breeze feeling God's love smilling from up high

finally setting your soul free.
