Feeling like a fool again
As I sit here all alone
Tired of words that come too easily
With no actions to back them up
Sick of feeling like an afterthought
Rather than the ONLY thought.

Shattered
Once she was whole--
The perfect creature He intended her to be.
She was loving, trusting, caring
And she opened her life and heart to everyone.
But then there were rules--
Man-made limits stifled who she was meant to be.
Things she couldn't say or do, ways she couldn't behave:
Broken trust and an oft-broken heart.
Now she's shattered--
Little more than a shell of the one she longs to be.
Cynical, hurting, needing, wanting to be whole again,
But closing the world out of her heart and her life.

One Day At A Time
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
One foot in front of the other
Going through the motions of life
As my heart struggles not to break

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
He said he'd love her forever and beyond
She wanted to believe it was true
He said he only wanted to be with her
She knew he shared his life with another
He said he wanted to shout his love to the world
She knew she was the only one who ever heard his words
He said he'd give up everything to be with her
She seemed to be the only thing he ever gave up.

Picket Fences Become Prison Bars
The young girl dreamed of a life behind picket fences
A husband, two children and a dog to complete what,
In her mind, was the picture perfect existence.
She tried and tried to find it, but there was always something wrong
A husband who acted more like a child
Another who acted more like a controller.
At last she found the picket fence life
A husband, three children and a cat
In a house where she was a pampered wife and mother
Till the day when the picket fence looked more like prison bars
Holding her back from what she dreamed
And who she could be
She longed to break free, to spread her wings
But responsibility and obligation held her down
And tied her to the life she'd already chosen.

Signs
Watching and waiting
Wondering which way to turn
Do I stay on this road
Where it's safe and familiar
Or take the other fork
Toward an uncertain future?

Amazing
Amazing moment--
When they found each other
Out of all the people in the world
And shared laughter and fears
Feeling something begin to grow
Amazing hour--
When they each took a risk
Admitting what they felt
And were surprised and excited
To realize the love was mutual
Amazing day--
When they finally came together
To share the love they felt
And discovered so much more
Than either could have imagined
Amazing life--
When they could live each day
Sharing happiness and love
And make so many dreams
Come true for one another
