Toughness Through The Fear

There's a fear that they have

Coming from the coldness of the humans

Their words and actions

Can cause pain that runs as deep as the ocean floor


Not knowing what to do 

As this is a new kind of pain

Makes them frightened on the inside and out 

Crawling under rocks are thoughts to them


Not easy for toughness to just appear 

Not an emotion that happens like magic

No one around to help develop it

It remains dormant in the meantime 


But at some point after so many episodes 

A toughness they feel has to be self-developed

You can only be mentally hit so many times 

And no one wants to be a permanent basket case


So there's gradual steps they'll take

Making themselves ready for the next scene, so to speak

They don't have verbal bodyguards in their lives

The toughness through the fear starts and ends with them

Cascading Of The Frozen Rain

  Among the many in the collage of the weather This hard rain is an unwelcomed sight Winter time is when it makes an appearance Pain it can cause, and not just to the humans down below   It resembles tiny silver slivers, as it cascades from the heavens Falling on the weak branches, and others that can’t take its weight Damages can be to the extreme, in spite of the brevity of its descent The people moving around, look up at the sky more than usual   Other misery it causes, is the loss of power to the homes all around It’s funny how this frozen rain can resemble a cold bomb at times It’s a rare sight, introducing itself like a rarely seen, annoying relative Not one we greet with joy, and disappointed at the mess it’s left behind

24 Hours To Move, To Be Still

  The beauty of nature fills my room Its sunlight piercing my eyes I've awakened to another morning Another chance to make progress in my life   Before I rise, I give thanks Grateful for another day given to me I think about the passions I continue to pursue And the talented one I am capable of being   When to move, when to be still There's a struggle with these two These 24 hours are like playing chess While deciding on which one I should NOW do   So many hours in a day Making me think there's plenty of time Yet the day can fly by so fast With little accomplished, I sometimes feel, in my eyes   It's been said that Rome wasn't built in a day But I feel like SOMETHING has to get done by me There are ones of many lives who I think about Who don't get these opportunities

Cleansing Of The Rain

  In this vast, complex city, it’s just after dark And here I am once again, alone with my thoughts   The hustle and bustle of the day, has somewhat quieted down Enabling me to have fewer distractions, as very few people are around   Even while walking down the main streets There’s some semblance of serenity and peace   As I reflect on the present, and think about the days gone by I suddenly hear a quiet rumble, coming from the dark sky   A slight drizzle has begun, brightening the pavement on which I walk With each drop that hits the ground, it seems to talk   Even harder the rain comes down, as I continue my stroll As it comes down on me, I feel a slight shiver, because it’s cold   Any pain that I have within, it seems to want to wash away As if it knows that I use the outdoors, to think and escape   I look up at the sky, spread my arms, and savor this time It’s as if the rain, knows the stresses of my...
