Try Try Again

I detest the fact that the harder I try, the worse it gets

Nothing changes, not really

People come, then go away

This is how my world works anyway

***

People that feign sincerity 

Only feed the deep mistrust I have within me

Life is like a chessboard, formations galore

People using me, flattening me to the floor

***

They wonder why I don’t want to try 

Why I fear to make my move

Who do YOU think YOU are?

Judge, Jury, Executioner? 

***

What do I want? What do I need?

A shoulder to cry on

One that could bring peace and calm

Holding you, welcomed sedation 

***

Learning to let go and finally realize:

Vulnerability is strength, my friends

So β€” Try Try Again!

    I know what you need, my baby sister,
    I treat you with chocolate wafers,
    I adore you as my magical unicorn,
    Come .. come.. let’s fly above the rainbow.
    Won’t you?

    Tight hugs and Tender kisses!
