I’m buzzing I’m tingling my body is alive my brain won’t stop thinking
How will I survive this burst of energy, ideas and much more
I have so much I want to explore
I am driven all day til I drop to the floor I can’t keep up this pace I can’t do anymore
I want it all done right now today
I don’t want anything to get in my way
Not the kids or my house or the car or the spouse.
I just want to go want to run full speed ahead
If I keep up this pace I’ll soon be dead
So I try to slow down get a grip and take a rest
Then I jump up, my brain is such a pest.
“Shut up” I say calm down go to sleep
Then I rest for awhile have a dream, count some sheep,
Then morning comes I am up with the dawn
My energy sparking how can I go on
I’m afraid if I stop I’ll crash into the wall
I’ll curl up and die I’ll take a big fall.
For me there is no mid ground its either up or down
Help me to live with this cuz I no longer want to frown.

Flying
I was flying so high I could touch the sky
My body and mind were on fire like an over inflated tire
I felt like I would burst or explode if I didn’t unload
My gifts to others to see what they thought but it was all for naught
Because after the high after the rush
The crash always comes in a great big gush
Like I’m falling from the sky falling really fast
With nothing to cling to I’m back on earth I knew it wouldn’t last
So now on to tears being tired and sad all these ups and downs just make me so mad
I want to go away be somebody not me
Just leave myself alone sitting under a tree
The pain is inside its deep in my soul
It hides there in a deep deep hole
But it always comes back it won’t leave me be
How can I cope should I hide under a tree?
Should I bury myself in the bed for awhile
Or just pretend I’m ok put on a fake smile
Will I ever be normal whatever that is
Or will I always be coping with this up and down biz
What a dumb question of course there’s no choice
“Cherish these gifts” say somebody’s voice
Just look at the gifts you give to the world
Poetry art and all that’s unfurled
But what does it matter if I barely make it through
If I’m always at odds how can this be true
It makes no sense to me at this moment in time
Why am I even writing this rhyme?

Death
Life is over, I move on to a better place,
My body will no longer take up earth space.
My spirit is now free to go where it may,
I have so long been waiting for this day.
Yes my life was good, I had lots of fun,
But earth is so restrictive, so to my head I put a gun.
Now I can begin my journey, where it will lead I know not,
I am ready to explore, I bet I’ll learn a lot.
I’ll finally know what God really is,
What happens when you die, I’ll know the answer to this quiz.
First I’ll take a trip to eternity and back,
Then maybe I’ll go visit the spirit of my uncle Jack.
I am weightless and so free, just how I always wanted to be,
Why the world exists, I will now finally see.
I’ll know all the answers, I’ll be open to is all,
I’ll no longer have to worry about if I’ll ever fall.
Don’t have to worry about how to do my hair,
Or where to live or work, I just won’t care.
No more sunsets at the beach, no more sand in my toes,
No more sex in the morning, that’s just how it goes.
No more sadness no more pain, no more tears in the dark,
Just peace and love and joy, like a walk in the park.

Emotions
Our feelings live within our soul,
If we don’t let them out, they will dig a big hole.
For feelings are meant to be shared with others,
Our friends, our kids, our sisters and brothers.
Love feels so good, to give and to get,
Love is just endless, on that you can bet.
And peace is so calm, like a smooth lake at dusk,
And quiet like the mountains, it smells like musk.
Happiness and joy makes us smile ear to ear,
It’s like playing with a puppy, or petting a dear.
But along with these good feelings, sometimes we find,
That we feel sadness or pain, but I really don’t mind.
Cuz I know that after the sadness goes away,
I’ll feel good again, it will be a new day.
Those feelings of grief or anger or rage,
Are gone, then I can start a new page.
So embrace all your feelings,
The good ones and bad,
Don’t push them away,
You‘ll end up being glad!!!

Today
The world’s full of beauty, all the color and light,
There is so much to do, we should savor each bite.
All the sights and the sounds, the people and things,
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we sing.
Look up - we see stars or the sun or the sky,
Look down - it's the grass or a butterfly.
Then there's the trees, the flowers and more,
How can people say that life is a bore?
We must cherish each moment, each hour each day,
Because there's so much to do and so much to say.
Don't take it for granted, rise up to new heights,,
And share your true spirit, each day and each night.
Don’t hold it back, don't hold it inside,
Share your love with the world,
Let your heart be your guide.

We Are Alone
We are alone in the world,
But how easy it would be,
To embrace each other,
Makes sense to me.
It's easy sometimes,
To think and sit back,
Not in the crowd,
But away from the pack.
Do we dare get close,
To our fears and our dreams?
It can be quite scary,
Or so it would seem.
Just don't be afraid,
To let your spirit fly,
Share your gifts with the world,
It's easy of you try.
Why?
Why am I here, why on this day,
What does the universe want me to say?
What is my gift, my purpose for being?
Is it to write, or to speak, or go skiing?
Was I put here to ponder the wonders of life?
Or to build tall buildings, or be a surgeon or a wife?
What is my passion, what makes me shine?
What is that thing I will call all mine?
We’re all so special, all one of a kind,
I know that my spirit just has to find,
That thing that is special, what I was put here to do,
When I learn how to fly, I’ll help others fly too.
