Predators
They lurk
In every corner
Falling victim
To their darkness
Has been
My lifelong plight
But the light,
The truth
Always outshines
The dim
And I will continue
My walk
Toward bright things
Rather than
Succumb
To anymore pain

Look out over
The shimmering sea,
It’s the place
where you’ll find me.
The sea is where
my heart resides,
you’ll hear it as I stand
by your side.
I may only be
your invisible friend,
but I’ll always be there,
even in the end.
Reach out your hand,
and you’ll find mine.
Our hearts and souls
forever entwined.

Orbs of light
dance before me.
Iridescent illusions
begging for attention.
Wisps of wonderment,
mesmerizing and bizarre.
Veiled splendor,
yearning for notice.
Hidden behind
a harsh reality.
And I say…
“I see you.”
My heartfelt wish
is that she’ll keep on dancing
And in nebulous purple,
she remains my phantom friend.

Your words
They sit
In a lonely tin
Sad to think
I’ll never
See you again
But life
Moves on
You went away
I’m still
Sometimes sad
You didn’t stay

About to embark
On a journey
A new way of life
I think this beginning
Is just what I need
I have nothing left here
Nothing holding me back
So I will chase my dreams
The sky is the limit
Look out world
Here I come!
