Disintegration
We’re each a rose, when we are born
Life provides the painful thorn
The choice to prick is always yours to make
Options you are forced to choose
A winning smile while others lose
Declaring that you give more than you take
Each victory can lose a friend
A new beginning another end
This is just the way it always goes
Win the battle lose the war
Feeling less while wanting more
Hiding scars, though everybody knows
No beauty in your daily acts
Merging with convenient facts
That charity will never miss your dime
Every hour provides a choice
A bigger heart a softer voice
You change your world, one word at a time
Blame your parents, blame your boss
Fixate hard on every loss
Well rehearsed as you tell your story
Perfection is a noble goal
Feed the beast, starve the soul
Never finding time to say you’re sorry
It isn’t that you can’t adjust
Expanding those you cannot trust
It’s YOU, that just keeps getting in the way
The rigid one you have become
Caused by those you’ve taken from
Will never change the way you start each day
Your joy gets lost in mending
The journey’s never ending
Your view is now as hollow as your eyes
Get lost in your perspective
Forgetting it’s connective
All you do is done with truth and lies.
A fresh blanket of snow
Trampled as you go
Your inner focus is your fatal flaw
We all deal with the pain
The sun avoids the rain
What you see is never what you saw
Another human being
Dismiss what most are seeing
While you struggle just to get along
Fight with daily scrapppen
Not knowing what will happen
Nothing’s always right or always wrong
But it’s not carved in ink
You still have time to think
Your life isn’t framed within a stencil
Have a drink and chaser
Grab your pink eraser
Remember life is written with a pencil
Cue the blong…Be Tender It’s an Art
Breaking Well
