‼️SUPERSTAR SCARS‼️

Life handed you a task

Or should I say a few

Every single day

Was one to just get through

It wasn’t very easy

It’s not meant to be this way

Sometimes we are allotted

And there’s a price to pay

We see the world in beauty

And look for all the good

Even in the face

Of evil and it’s hood

You never see it coming

But hope for all the best

We sooth the dying soul

Avoiding this life’s test

In the fear of darkness

There is a light that’s dim

Everything you cherish

Is attacked with evil sin

The repeated torture stays

You battle every day

Until the time you see

Your love has gone away

Not only for the other

Who hovered over you

Your mind had many scars

And love has left you too

The courage you held onto

This love was your dear hope

The power in its hold

Was gifted in this choke

Physical is seen

But more is in your head

The scars they cannot see

Increase with what is said

Reactions they decrease

For punishment is huge

Weaker is the fist

When mighty words are used 

The greatest gift you have

To survive is a surprise

When courage swept you up

And helped you to arise

At first you can’t decipher

And try to figure out

How it all became

And why you had a doubt

The master and the servant

Are compromising myths

No one should own another

Not everyone gets this

There is no shame to see

Why you were in this cage

The fact that you are out

You paid the highest wage

The purity of love

Leaves a bigger scar

It is your badge of courage

You are a superstar

‼️PULL MY FINGER‼️

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

When I was born

You met me

I can’t recall

This memory

I know somehow

For I feel it

And when we met

I knew your spirit

The first man

I ever loved

You’re still here

This I think of..

When in my walker

Down stairs I fell

You ran to me

And saved me well

The many times

I slept walked

You steered me back

And bought a deadlock

I was two

I remember

Running away

Was my adventure

Your permission

It was granted

And I could take

If I had earned it

Unemployed

I did not own

Left all my clothes

At my home

Off I went

I was naked

Turned around

I couldn’t make it

Thus I planned

My great escape

Asked dear Santa

If he was fake

All I questioned

Bothered me

I wanted answers

I would plea

You held my hand

As we walked

I listened too

As you talked

Every word

I believed you

To a child

This is value

What you need

You just learn it

Because of you

I was determined

When I fell

You fell too

You didn’t say

But this I knew

When I asked

You a question

Sometimes there was

A secret lesson

So many times

I was afraid

But you pushed me

To be so brave

Your sense of humour

Was immense

And this I like

When life’s intense

So many times

“Pull my finger”

Waiting for

The sound of thunder

I did not know

When I was young

That once you were

Your daddy’s son

You never knew

You’re own dad

When you a babe

He died a lad

I can’t imagine

You not there

And I feel pain

I know you care

I hear the sound

Of your keys

You use to shake them

When you could see

You cannot read

The words I write

I like to think

One day you might

I could read

If you would listen

Because of you

I learned this lesson

When you walk

On thin ice

Before you step

Do think twice

I am in tune

With your story

The more I learn

It does amaze me

So on this day

Of father’s bliss

I love you dad

Big hug and kiss

‼️WHAT YOU GROW INTO‼️

That first breath

Sudden flutter

Body spasms

Cries shudder

Just responding

To the the world

Oh why out here

Is it so cold

For some of us

Our births were fine

Others though

Were out of line

To a mother

Who is loving

Little babies

Most becoming

For some beings

Who weren’t planned

From the start

They are damned 

Who are these people

Making love

Little babies

They don’t think of?

If it happens

You can choose

But in the end

You both lose

If life to you 

Is so sacred

Who are you 

Stop the hatred

When you admit

It is satirical

Your birth alone

Is a miracle

All the words

In the first years

Are the thoughts

Repeat for years

In all the progress

And development

Who raises you

Is your incumbent 

Who does teach you

Should want more

Than what was handed

From before

A hundred years

A million fools

People are forced

With many rules

What do we know

And what we’re told

But do we speak

And act so bold

That fear rejection

Denies much truth

To every parent

We want proof

When they don’t know

And refuse you

They manufacture

Ignorance too

And so repeating

It continues

Closed minds of leaders

Ignore these clues

The little hearts

That beat in you

Mother’s arms

Hold like glue

Fathers fear 

And want obeying

No child of theirs

Shall stop praying

But in the midst

Of broken ordinance

Nothing goes

To accordance

When laws stay put

And do not change

Equivocal?

The mind’s exchange

The little babes 

That leave their nest

Arrest the world

With eagerness

Until that time

On that one day

The laws of old

Will kill their way

For who you are

And where you’re from

Will determine

What is done

In this world 

They want authentic

Then ridicule

When you announce it

When you speak truth

It fires with power

And greedy people

Want more each hour

Out of the mouths

Of innocents

Words outlive

From deaths moments

Minor crimes

Misdemeanours 

The one who kills

Is the meaner

Let’s be real

Promote domestic?

I find this rather

Just pathetic

When it’s unjust

It takes a movement 

So many laws

Need improvement

This is why

It’s happening

When after learning

You don’t do a thing

I question freedom

Look at the rules

Am I but one

Of many fools?

That heartbeat

That pumps in you

At some point

You must grow into 

When you were born

You were told too

But as you die

You ask what did you do

‼️HEARTBEAT SIRENS‼️

When you give
You lend a hand
Not all receivers
Understand

We try to help
And reach out
Sometimes we yell
And start to shout

With the volume 
And the tone
It doesn’t help
When you moan

In your heart
Be as it may
There is love
That pleads this way

Feeling desperate
Spewing words
To hurting souls
They won’t be heard

Instead erase
Just breathe with them
Embrace the silence 
They will begin

Allow the one
Who looks at you
To find a reason 
To hold you too

If they are near
The doors of solace
They need the time
To just acknowledge

It’s hard to stand
And look down
Watching others
As they drown

Don’t walk away
It’s not a choice
Let them hear
Your peaceful voice

In this approach
They will condone
Another presence
They aren’t alone

You know the pierce
Of daggers sharp
You want to share
But do not harp

A padded pillow
Meant for rest
Soaked with tears
From the chest

Support is here
Helping too
Quiet pillows
Talk to you

As the wailing
Does decrease
Crying time
It will cease

Upon the skin
And cleaner eyes
Approach them now
They need this prize

A gentle touch 
And loving stroke
Subsides the sound
Retreating choke

Sent from silence
Soulful words
Never said 
But they have stirred

Later on 
After confusion
Without judgement
There’s profusion

Another life
Who shares with you
Grants you access
To share yours too

As you listen
In this silence
You can hear
The heartbeat sirens

Raw and loud
They become
And with yours too
All pain undone

Sacred people
And their souls
We’re not alone
When love shows

‼️FATE or DESTINY⁉️

‼️FATE or DESTINY⁉️

Thinking back before this day

How it came to be this way

Did you master all of it

Every single little bit

Are there times that you question

Ask dear God if you’re from heaven

Did your parents purchase you

Or was your birthday a surprise too

Do you have siblings, that you like

Or cousins hence you like to fight

Did you change your own hair colour

Thinking that you’d look much better

How come your friends have it all

When you struggle and feel so small

How is it that you failed at school

And never felt really cool

But if you are successful

Was this just inevitable

Was it clear from day one

What had to be done

Did you know what was in store

Did you know something more

Is there a way to determine

What will be…is for certain

If you await and take no action

Will you have much satisfaction

But if you choose to play a hand

Don’t you think it might be grand

Life’s not fair, this is your fate

Predetermined gravitates

When you decide your reality

Did you just change your destiny

Accepting fate, so deterministic

But probability will help fix it

What you’re given Is all yours

What you have Is really more

Your outlook and positive view

Can change the taste of destiny’s brew

Fate says to you..”It is what it is”

Destiny says..”I got this”

‼️INSPIRATION’S NOTE‼️

‼️INSPIRATION’S NOTE‼️

It yelled at me
Amidst the night
Woke me up
With a fright

Screaming echos
From my sleep
Across the bed
The shadows creep

My eyes were closed
But I could feel
The strength of thoughts
Pierce like steel

The moonlit glow
Reflections dance
Leaves outside
Inside enhanced

Into my room
And tossed my cover
Open window
Where dreams enter

Soft and silky
Pillow speaks
Inside my head
Thunder peaks

Breathing in
The furrowed brow
Release the lines
Smoothing now

Stirred within
I hear the chant
Words are singing
Ignore I can’t

If I muster
From revere
I won’t lose
What sings in here

To my side
I turn my body
Who on earth
Wants to call me

The thoughts inside
I pushed away
But louder cries
Begged me to stay

“I came to you
From the land
Enveloped
In darkness hand

Write me down
I’m here right now
Before I die
Let me allow

Pick up the pen
I’ll write for you
You know the drill
It’s what we do”

My retreat
Was not working
And now alert
To hand networking

What started slow
Grabbed attention
And now the pen
On paper quicken

Words appeared
Upon the page
And once completed
Disengaged

Lying back
Upon the pillow
After sleep
Goodbye my fellow

Receding blaze
Thoughts depleted
This is the way
A writer sees it

In the morning
Sunny rays
Highlighted dust
Appears in waves

This enchantment
Sprinkles through
Reminds you of
It’s note to you

You reach over
Read the note
Without a sound
Your heart has spoke

Forget the time
Where there is darkness
In the night
Are many chances

The quiet mind
Is best acquainted
To the words
That help us make it

Inside ourselves
Observed by heaven
If you respond
To what’s given

There is a gift
For you to open
From dark moments
You can find hope in

#PaulaG
