One hundred days
One hundred nights
One hundred years
And all is right
Beside you now
As we will rest
Finally now
At long last
A century
Of time now past
But never gone
Never forgot
As it lives on
With every breath
And every word
We speak or write
It is our life
Our strength and soul
For all to see
And now at last
Just you and me.
This Means Everything to Nothing

Pain
Pain
floods my body
so I
can hardly move.
Muscles
ache
stiffen
with every move,
fire
searing
through my limbs.
I am lost
to the never ending
torrent.
Can I prevail?
Will I
in the end
surpass
the limits
of this body
and become
a new me?
Only time
will speak
truth.

A Chance
What is
Impossible?
A notion
That we cannot.
A belief
We accept
As true
Despite
Never trying,
Or at least not really.
We are told
From the start
We are limited.
Sure,
Some will say
"You can do anything"
But do they really
Believe?
But now,
This day
Is up to you.
Will you listen?
Or will you
Take a chance?
Perhaps
You can do more
Than you ever thought.
Push your limits
And you will discover
They were
Far
From your true limits.

Continue along this path
Hoping to reach the end
Sooner than you expect.
Always the same routine.

House of Cards
Play a game
Pull the strings
Put on a show.
They only bend
When you push
But they will
Break.
You will work
To run the system.
You will fight
To make
Your dreams
The reality.
Ruthless
Manipulative
And filled
With power.

Little One
Watching you grow
I never thought
I would stop seeing you that way.
But here I am
And here you are.
Much older
Than I remember.
You can't be
The woman I see before me.
No.
You are still
The sweet
Young child
I left behind.
But you moved on
Though my memories
Remain a constant
You do not.
You have become
A new person
Still based
In the little girl I knew,
But now
So much more.
Life
Has taken you
Taught you
Torn you
And mended you.
You have learned
Forgotten
Discovered
More than I
Will ever realize.
