(2014)
By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
