Lifting You Makes Me Strong

Reading Their Eyes

February 15, 2008

The look in their eyes 

As the entertainment explodes

All eyes starring in awe

Captivated by the moment

All I see is their eyes

The yearning for success

I close my eyes

All I see is failure

Lifting You Makes Me Strong

December 27, 2013

So much pressure obligated me to stay in place

One in too many options could elevate me

Giving up shined brighter

Hand curled in and away from the impossible decision

Hiding felt so good

But

Today I stumbled across you

I will not neglect you again

No one can accomplish this for me

I will become capable of lifting this weight

Removing it from my shoulders

Distant from ears and mind

I can be self-sufficient

I can be strong
