One day we met We felt the connection Deeper, deeper, deeper It is a memory that has happened before A lesson needs to be learned for each of us We didn't understand  The lesson was to believe in each other Because you were broken you couldn't see me I wanted too much, but I had to walk away So we could both grow separately With this Karmic Reflection we will meet again for a lesson of a lifetime    

 You were such a beautiful person So full of lifeYou were a mother, a sister, a friend You had a smile that was infectious As soon as you walked into a roomAll heads turned to look at youYou were so much more than just looksYour heart so full and giving Only you knew your sorrows You held them deep inside Never speaking of your sadness Until the last dayWhen you decided to leaveYou left behind many hopes and dreams You to...

I had to let you goI liked you more than you will ever knowI told myself I wouldn't tell you and I didn't I acted like I didn't careThe last time I saw youYou acted like me and I acted like youYou listened when I spokeWas it all a game or just a jokeYou gave me half answers to my questions You never wanted to commit one way or another I'm tired of the gamesSo I left and you wished me happinessYou told me when you're done...

It's time to start overTo take chancesTo purge everything you don't needTo be happy, smile, laughForget the past, move onIt's not worth the trouble Let's move forwardNever stopping Always wanting to improve Have faith in yourselfKeep goingNever forgetting You can make it happen

ThinkingWhen you look in the mirror,What do you see?Do you hide yourself?Or show everyone who you are?Do you think you're beautiful?Is it an illusion?Are you beautiful inside?More so than outside?Will you love yourself the same?As you do another?Some are beautiful outside,Yet they are rotten inside Some use their looks to deceive othersAnd some just love the attention Will they ever admit what they do?Will they ever see?H...

The longest nightHow I wait for thee The time has comeTo celebrate with friendsWe gather around the fireTo sit and laughAnd remember times old and newIt's time to look and rejoiceFor the things we haveAs you watch children, parents, loved onesThey grow older on this longest dayEach one learns something newWaiting, anticipating for things to comeWatching, listening to what they seeTrying to understand changesNever knowing...

There are so many peopleYou look here, you look thereAll around,everywhereNo time for anyoneHow we move, talk, walkTrying to make people noticeBeyond the superficial You are judged in a split secondOne chance, one timeThey don't really seeThey can't understandWhat lies beneathYou can learn from one anotherIf you stop and listenSee beyond what is in front of youAnd know the real person Take the time and learn from thisAnd...

My head is pounding My throat is on fireI am sneezing like never beforeMy body achesI sound like I'm under waterIt's hot, it's coldI can't smell a thing through my noseMy temperature soarsI need to pick the boys up from daycareI so want to hold themI suffered all dayAs I pick them up they smile at me, talking both at onceThe boys are good watching a movieAs I lay down on the bedThey are not arguing, hitting, or calling ea...

Is it time to leave?When do you know?You wait to see if change comes alongYou choose to make these changesWork, home, relationshipsWhich one comes first?Do they all need to change at once?Change is part of lifeIt's a way of growthTo embrace changeTo face your fearsA chance to learn new thingsHave new emotionsYou never know what might happen

Looking in the mirrorI see my crazy curlsMy brown eyesThe funny smile on my faceI think of my friendsWe have drifted apartThey are always on my mindKat, Eva, Sunil, BillI love each one of themI have never forgottenHow much they mean to meThey are each a strength Runs strong in my heartI miss each one Life is soo fastWe are always movingNever stopping, trying to slow downOne day we will all catch upHere or somewhere Know e...

Make it stop!Everything is closing inWhere do I go?The box is getting smallerNo where to turnThe voices keep whisperingThe bickering never stops!No one wants to take the blameThe same thing over and overNo matter what I doIn a circle it goesFaster and fasterWhere do I turn?I look to my left, then to my rightI hide beneath the counterI hear giggles coming around the cornerI have no where to goI'm trapped!My boys shout, "Yo...

How long is enough?As I sit here waitingThe clock on the wall Saying tick tock, tick tockMy fingers tapping in rhythmTap, tap, tapWaiting, waiting, waitingWhen will it stop?The faucet starts to dripDrip, drip, dripEvery sound magnifiedAs I sit here waitingThe timer goes offDing, ding, dingFinally the waiting is overAs I open the door I see the most beautiful thingMy boys staring back at me

Longing to hold you closeWishing every minute you were by my sideClosing my eyes.Your lips touch mineMy body tingles with excitementListening to youTalk about others.Wishing it was me You wantedFeeling the tearsSwell up in my eyesAs they break freeSliding down my faceWhy...I askWhy?Why not me?Don't I make you Smile, laugh?Don't you enjoy my company?Why not me?Why can't you see me when I'm standing in front of you?Don't I...

We all fear somethingBe it the past, love, or acceptanceThere comes a time thoughWhen you have to let goTake the chanceThrow caution to the windOr be conservativeWait for the other shoe to dropLet it control youOr you can take controlFind your balanceOnly you can control itFear is endless, unrelenting, mercilessBut can you face it?

You have been gone so longOver a monthWill you remember me?You love my smooth voiceThe sweetness that you claimThe need the wantI love your words but I need to feel your touchWill you remember my smile?Will the smile on your lips reach your eyes?As I see you again, all my fears and doubts fly awayMy stomach has butterflies once moreYou're finally home
