Please Stay



If you have contemplated of suicide, on this your life depends
There’s many ways to end it all, how will your means meet ends?
Have you considered those who’d find you. or how you made them feel?
Have you really felt the feelings, before you make this real?
Do you wonder if they'll think, it was payback time?
What if they miss the point, think you are making the light your lime?
Under all the bravado, I know the pain is true
Under each mask, there is a newer you
Under the bridge, a final resting place
Under your skin, with in the needles trace
At first they miss you, they put out an APB
If only we could avoid, all this in-sanity
The pain and suffering, have gone full circle now
It’s too late to fix it, too late for whys and how’s
If only you spoke up, or found help on your own
If only we read the signs, or looked past the self you’ve shown.
Reaching outs not easy, for we're all so self involved.
Sorry can’t fix everything, not all guilt can be absolved.
The pain we bear, becomes a shield, an armor to the world.
A way to hide the ugly truth, a way to keep secrets furled.
The answers never cutting out, or quitting on the game.
The answers lie in fixing you, and protecting others from the same.
Stand up for you, the way you know how. Let the others be.
For you control the only you, who can be the better me.
What others think matters not, outside the manner rules.
We take our selves too seriously, sometimes we should just be fools.
Your final act upon this earth should not play out this way
The world will be a better place, Fight back, Please stay.

Compass

Fear is a compass
Scars of a past
Learn to control it
Learn to outlast

Patterns of behavior
Take long to forget
Engraved are the memories
Creating the regret

If Only the happy
Lasted half as long
A warm and fuzzy feeling
Like your favourite song

We let the fear creek in
Until a river forms
Too hard to stop it
So hard to perform

Rise above the madness
and the pain that it creates
Surround your heart with kindness
and those who can relate.

Let happiness guide you
Follow where it leads
Don't wallow in pity
Get out and do good deeds.

The contentment that you long for
Is already contained within
Learning to bring it to the surface
Is a good place to Begin.

Making this your practice
Will enhance pleasure in your life
Fight past the negativity
Rise above others strife.

Let good feelings guide you
to find your true North
When you feel the fear a rising
Pack up and go Forth

Goodnight Mavis



Say goodnight to Mavis,
Its time she got some rest.
She’s been feeling rather poorly,
It weighs heavy on our Chest.

Taken from us quickly,
Although it breaks our hearts.
One of my favorite memories ,
Is how you loved kicking my ass at cards.

At the cribbage table,
You beat us every time.
Even if we tried to cheat,
We couldn’t get Twenty nine.

A heart so big, a smile so bright
You were the real deal.
You faced the world for what it was,
And told people how you feel.

Our broken hearts, will soon mend,
 The pain will soon subside.
We all take solace knowing,
How much you enjoyed the ride.

You loved us each for who we are,
Even those with flaws.
Looked past our imperfections,
Took on the world, as it was.

We’ll always have our Fridays’
You made me feel like kin.
My wish for your final resting place,
Is that it is chock-full of Firemen!

Goodnight Mave I love you

Miss B

Senseless

I stayed up till tomorrow
To wash away today
Sometimes we do with laughter
Sometimes to hide our pain

Senseless tragic acts
Just scatter through our lives
Tossed about like shards of glass
You shouldn't step on twice

We ask all of the W's
The answered aren't shared
They just leave us believing
People turn bad and nobody cared

All too busy chasing things
And playing with our phones
How can we concern ourselves
With other people's homes.

The anger washes over us
At senseless acts like these
Sadly though it settles down
It quiets all our plea's

A life that's gone full circle
Or gone before their time
A momma and her baby
There can't be reason or rhyme

I leave to you to ponder
These thoughts out of my head
As now I'm finally ready
To snuggle in to bed.

Good Night Mavis
I Love you XxX
