Silver

Shimmery

Leaves -

They move about

So freely

On a crisp autumn breeze

Their movements

Entrance me

And I want to enjoy

Their happy and carefree dancing

Catching particles of light

In their show

It’s all they can do

As winter ebbs in

And they become

Brittle to fall off

Learning that they

Are summer’s has-beens

I know you can smile, to give someone hope.

I know you can hug when someone body wants to choke.

I know you can give, to someone that doesn't have.

I know you can live, on someone else behalf.

I know you can love when someone needs to belong.

I know you can give strength when someone needs to be strong.

I know you can be anything you want to be.

I know you can because I made you from me.

I can only guide you and hope you see my path.

I will be there for you when others might laugh.

When I say these words, from a mothers eyes I see,

My child, my son, my daughter, my baby.

I see no wrong in you, as a mothers heart will.

I made you of the best material, super strength steel.

So excuse me if I give you all the glory.

I'm a mother, this is my way, and this is my story.

Hard to say

Easy to hear

I

Love

You

Easy to say

Hard to hear

A rainbow

Is an illusion

Colors fade

Into each other -

Nature’s special

Fusion of light

Escaping reality

The me inside, you never see, is the me inside, I will never be.

I have a secret, I will never tell.

They think they know me, I am strong you'd think, but behind this smile lies a lot of pain.

Now you know me, because I let you in.

You know all about me, well think again.

Do you know I cry almost every night?

Do you know I feel too weak to fight?

I still carry on, like it's all okay.

I want to die, but instead I pray.

I have to stay strong, it's not all about me.

I have two daughters, I will never leave.

They drive me crazy, and stress me out

I am their mother, without a doubt.

They have been my world, from the very start.

Yes they drive me insane, but they stole my heart.

So now you know the me inside.

I let you in, I did not hide.

When you see me, do not assume.

Hey there's that girl, that one that lies.

That one that's weak, that one that hides.

I know all about her, she's too weak to hold on, but guess again.

I am still here, you see?

I am the strongest person, you will ever meet.

I Feel So Weak.

But I Am Strong.

Everything's Alright.

Yet It Feels All Wrong.

I Don't Always Feel Pretty.

But I'm Beautiful Inside.

At Times I Feel Sad.

But I Will Not Cry.

Sometimes I Get Moody.

But I Don't Mean To.

If You Only Knew, The Hell That I've Gone Through.

I Make Mistakes.

Sometimes I Get it Right.

But There Is One Thing.

I Cannot Hide.

I Am Not Perfect.

I Don't Claim To Be.

But One Thing's For Sure.

I'm Real && I'm Me.

Nothing last forever, but forever will always last.

When we realize there is no present, future or past.

The irony that we use numbers to measure life's time, when numbers are infinite it's all in our mind.

How is it that time is so limited when it never even ends, when our time runs out another's just begins.

We think time halts when we cease to exist, but life got along fine before us so don't think you'll be missed.

Hidden within

The crinkles

Of your smile

There’s an

Irresistible

Magic

Illuminating

Up where

I want to

Kiss you

It’s when the

Nighttime comes

My thoughts explode

Out of the

Crevasses of my mind

Like a shower of

Confetti
