Steady Steps

There’s a line I've drawn, a boundary clear,
Between what drains me and what keeps me near.
I’ve lingered too long in tangled grace,
Held by feelings that shift, yet never replace
The peace I seek, the calm I crave—
A life of freedom, fierce and brave.

It’s easy to stay, let waves pull me down,
Swayed by emotions, tossed around.
But I choose more than a fleeting tide;
I choose the shore where my spirit abides.

To live on feelings is to drift alone,
In seas of silence, without a stone
To anchor my heart, to still my mind—
The peace I need is the peace I find.

So I’ll walk away with purpose and grace,
Leaving behind the restless chase.
My steps are firm, my path is mine,
I’ll not return to what isn’t aligned.

Unshaken

I do not crave the brush of your skin,
nor the fire that lovers chase within.
Yet in your presence, my world aligns,
a rhythm steady, a love defined.

Not by longing, not by flame,
but by the way you speak my name.
By how your silence calms my storms,
by all the ways your heart transforms.

I do not yearn for fleeting touch,
but losing you would hurt too much.
For love is more than body's call—
you are my soul’s home, after all.

The Bad Guy Melody

I gave you a chance to reach out to me,
But you chose silence like it set you free.
Sent you my heart in messages, calls, and voice,
You looked at my love and made the coldest choice.
So thank you for that… yeah, thank you for that.

’Cause now I see the fear in me,
Afraid to stand tall, afraid to just be…
Afraid to be “bad,” afraid to say no,
But baby that fear? I’m letting it go.

You hurt me deep, I cried, I snapped,
But I’m done feeling guilty for how I react.
I’m over it now, yeah I’m over you,
Everything I said was painfully true.
So thanks for the silence, the way you withdrew—
That empty space showed me what I had to do.
Be you… be you…
Me? I’ll be the bad guy if that’s what’s true.

The way you think just ain’t aligned with me,
I’m not built for leaving hearts hanging on empty.
I’d never watch someone vulnerable fall,
But you just let me ring and ignored every call.
But hey… that’s you.
And I see it clear too.

I don’t know how you humans move this way,
Playing with hearts like it’s some kind of game.
But I’m learning now, I’m reclaiming my flame—
Even if I’m “bad,” I won’t shrink in shame.

You hurt me deep, I cried, I snapped,
But I’m done feeling guilty for how I react.
I’m over it now, yeah I’m over you,
Everything I said was painfully true.
So thanks for not caring, thanks for the bruise—
Your silence became the push I needed to choose.
Be you… be you…
And I’ll be the bad guy if that’s my truth.

I’m learning to stand in the storm of my choice,
Finding my power, reclaiming my voice.
If “bad” is just finally loving me right…
Then I’ll be the bad guy tonight.

Motivational Meditation

Sometimes peace doesn’t come right after the choice…
It comes after the storm of second-guessing.

When you choose yourself — your rest, your boundaries, your peace —
the mind whispers, “Did I do the right thing?”

But that voice isn’t truth… it’s conditioning.
You’ve just learned to feel guilty for protecting yourself.

Growth feels uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
Stay firm. Stand by your decision.

Peace doesn’t beg for validation —
it arrives quietly when you stop apologizing for choosing it.

Fighting for Us

It seems the path is steep ahead,
To win you back, though hope feels dead.
No reason lies to bridge the gap,
Yet still I stand, I won’t turn back.

You say you’ve changed, your love has too,
A different heart, a different you.
But in your eyes, the truth remains,
The man I love, despite the strain.

I see the spark, the fire’s not gone,
Though shadows claim it won’t burn long.
And so, I’ll fight for what we were,
For love that’s real, for what’s secure.

Though walls may rise and doubt may grow,
My heart will fight, I’ll let you know:
No change can steal the bond we made,
For love like ours won’t simply fade.

You are my Pill

When days turn gray and skies grow still,
You come along, my steady pill.
In words you lift, in thoughts you heal,
A calm embrace, a gentle feel.

Through sleepless nights or morning’s haze,
You’re the light in life’s maze.
With silent strength, you ease my mind,
A remedy both true and kind.

No bitter taste, no dosage chart,
Just solace found within the heart.
In times of need, you’re always near,
A constant cure, forever clear.
