~Violets~

Waking up

From a deep sleep

Like breakin through

The surface

Of a lake

Bubbles tickling

In their airy dance

Around me

It was easy

So easy

To unmask

The illusion

Some people

Create their own storms

And get mad

At the rain

Getting used to

Breaking and mending

A weaving dance

With no meaning

And no heart

I've been

On the edge

Of dreaming

In the heavy heat

You can cut

With a knife

It won’t slow you down

If you start

Listening

Stop,

don’t ever

promise

if you can’t deliver,

Because that

is my pet hate

The way I see it

is tough times call for two things,

a positive attitude

and someone to talk to

My guess

is that it’s pretty

much the same,

the important things

don’t change

Life's for living,

take the reins,

but no one said

it was easy
Were all

shrinking violets

at first

But a plan is only

a thing that makes

us feel we're in control

Is there a chance

you’ll change

your mind?
Or are we all

ashes in white

it’s warm

real

Bright

The world

has shifted

Now that

I’ve seen you
Sometimes good

intentions

don’t turn out so well
Just cause

I’m not

living the same

hand dealt to you

doesn’t make

me any less

than you

I know you

We have

Same eyes
