Urge

I have the urge to write
To pick up a pen and take a bite
Sinking my teeth into my emotions
Pinning them down when I'm not feeling quite right
I have the urge to share
Someone will read it
Someone will care
Feeling like I'm on the verge
I have to sort
I have to purge
Something inside has got to give
I wanna feel free
I wanna live
Hindered by this shell of skin
Frustrated cause I feel I can't win
I have the urge to write
To pick up a pen and not fight
Dealing with my emotions
Not turning away but facing them day by day
I have the urge to write
To pick up a pen and take a bite
Whenever I feel sad, lonely or blue
I'll pick up a pen again and again
Writing it out will help a lot
No need to shout
I'll write it out
I have the urge to write
To pick up a pen and not fight
Using my emotions as a healing tool
I can win when I make my own rules
I have the urge to write....

Tina C

Attracted to that bad ass exterior
I know SHE doesn't feel inferior
Dressed in layers and layers of clothes
She doesn't want to be exposed
Carrying the pain of her past
How long will this tough exterior last
I see a light in her eyes
I've seen her when she cries
A different side exposed
Does she realize the power she holds
She is a gentle yet powerful soul
Beyond that bad ass exterior
The spirit reigns Superior
I've seen the light in her eyes
I feel her pain when she cries
She has transformed before my eyes
Strong but gentle and very wise!

The Visit

I had a visitor today
She came in a peaceful quiet way
All graceful and beautiful too
She wore the prettiest Periwinkle blue
I saw her from a distance and she made me smile
Sadness left me
I feel much better now
I had a visitor today
She came in a peaceful quiet way
Always a reminder when I'm feeling 'blue'
Just a glimpse of her and I will make it through
Blue can be sad or sometimes dark
But Periwinkle blue has a hopeful spark
My visitor came dressed in blue
I feel happy, and hopeful

I  WILL make it through
