Rhythmic Healing
A Poem A Day Keeps The Heartache Away
I told myself, I'd be different today,
as I followed my same old routine.
I promised that I would be good to myself,
as I let you poke your fun at me.
*
I remembered a time that I liked who I was,
long before you entered my life.
Now I realize, I'm constantly telling me lies,
to help me survive on this ride.
*
It seems like that's the way things are done,
just hold out, until Friday comes.
I try not to think about the time that I waste,
I guess, so I don't feel so dumb.
*
I've been told so many times, that life is a gift,
you never know when it's your time.
Seems the only connection I cling to these days,
is sharing how I feel, by writing these rhymes.
*
To many I know, they are just words on a page,
something some do, to pass away time.
For me, it's healing and helps ease the pain,
that I keep locked away - deep inside.
*
So, for now, I will put down my pen,
step outside and take in the day.
For all too soon I will get stuck -back in my head,
Searching for new words to help heal the pain.
