Beliefs

The time has come

to step up 

and be counted

to stop hiding 

behind the stories

to recognise the truth

and see the selfish lies

I am enough to be loved

I am allowed to shine

I am open and kind

This is me

at last this is me

LIFE IS GOOD

a wink 

an easy smile

a cheeky grin

me monopoly me

me

me mono me

me poly mono me

me poly on my loop me 

me my self monopolising me

me me me only my loop on me

me self myself my own self only me

me and me and me and me and me me

who are you? not me who cares me

what is it? not that me me my

when? not now me me me

where are you? me

how many? one

ME Me me

distant eyes

her eyes appeared to see for ever
her gaze was so remote
from where we were at the table
eating our supper as always
our conversation not flowing
missing the point talking
of day to day stuff bird tables
paintings and local butchers

her eyes appeared see for ever
at the mention of young kids
dreaming scenes that are not truth
seeing believing a different reality
tears squeezed out of her eyes
hidden pain reaching the surface
opportunity? childless sons

grandchildren? there is no fun

I feel anguish and pain

not giving what she wants

not giving what she needs

her youth vitality ebbing

this needs to be restored

but at what cost

it must be true

It will be true
