Coping

 I feel I’m coping better,

Than I have done in a while.

I feel like I am stronger,

Now I’ve found my style.


I feel like I am more able,

To cope with what befalls.

I can face my demons,

As I answer life’s call.


I feel like I have grown,

More wonderful than before.

I am far more stronger,

I know that I can soar.

Back

I was so very far away,

I thought there was no way back.

I thought I would lose myself,

I was trapped somewhere black.


I could not see a way forward,

Trapped within the past.

I could not find a way to move on,

I could not stop the die that was cast.

The Drum

 I sit and play my drum,

As I think about my day.

I sit a play my drum,

I do it in different ways.


I sit and play my tambourine,

As I try to think positively.

I sit and play my tambourine,

To get rid of real bad chi.


I play my little triangle,

As I sift through my thoughts.

I play my little triangle,

And know I can’t be bought.

Happy Song

 When I’m feeling down,

I sing a happy song.

That make me wanna dance around,

In ways that can’t be wrong.


When I feel miserable,

I sing a happy tune.

I well good emotions,

To gather round and bloom.


When I feel like crying,

I sing a happy note.

I think about the good I see,

As I start to float.

Journey

 I sit at the crossroad,

Wondering which way to go.

I have no idea where they lead,

I’m not sure I want to know

I’m standing at the crossroad,

Staring at each direction.

Where will they take me?

I have a closer inspection.

I’m staring at the crossroad,

Searching for the correct way.

I’m looking at each avenue,

In the hope I choose right to day.

I’m wander round the crossroad,

Searching for a way to go.

I take in every detail,

That is thete on show.

Walls

 I put up many walls,

That keep me from moving on.

I build them strong you see,

It’s where I go so wrong.


They are impossible to get past,

When I’m hiding behind. 

They prevent me from breaking,

To prevent others being unkind. 


The walls are my protection,

My defence also see.

They are made to guarantee,

I am safe and free.

Today I Start

 Today I start to listen,

To the voice within.

Today I sit and watch,

No rain will set in. 


I only seek assurance, 

That I have a right to be. 

I only seek true wonder,

That's been lost from me. 


Magics in my heart,

Its nestled where I live. 

Magic floats around us,

It is a wonderous Gift.


I only seek assurance, 

That I have a right to be. 

I only seek true wonder,

That's been lost from me.
