wake up
sit up
look in the mirror
put on clothes
not that
not this
can’t fit
look in the mirror
brush hair
fix makeup
look in the mirror
not good enough
not bad enough
not cool enough
not thin enough
look in the mirror
look
at
me

life is choices
burdens we take
we have our voices
to make our emotions fake
the weight we haul
and miles we walk
and seem to crawl
when we don’t talk
how can you feel
the burden that is mine
that cannot be healed
even though we have nothing but time

what a day
how could it be this way
even though I tried to sway
its amazing any way
in a messy way
even though we try to obey
our mentality will not lay
in a passive way
to give someone another day
to take away
what we pay
for so dearly everyday
parts chipped away
carved slowly
slowly
so very slow
shaped to be
the perfect shape
carved from stone
not cold
warm skin
tears follow as each piece
disappears
pieces of me turning to dust
as each are chiseled away
to make me
what you think

laughter, happiness
things we show
when everything goes right
tears, sadness
things we hide
when everyone else thinks things are right
show me all
I want to know
when everything is wrong
when everything is right
why hide
when I am right here
give me your good
give me your bad
I can take it
I know what it is
Don’t feel lost
I’ll hold your hand

what is it when I see you
wondering how I ever could
how I never even though
but even as I see
you cannot see
I watch from a distance
and people say I am nuts
but I wonder just if
just maybe
if the courage I can build
wondering if you even know
you don’t even see
how I feel
now I wonder if
I should be committed
just for thinking
just for seeing
just for following
but I turn around
before I can give myself away

some are small
some are large
some heal
others never do
some are seen
worn on the sleeve
others never show
driving deep
like a puncture
to the soul

Clapping like seals
as he speaks
taking us away
from a cleaner world
with promises of jobs
that disappeared
of jobs
that no longer exist
jobs
that are not coming back
jobs
that no matter what
have already made their way out
promising our portion of the pie
what will happen to us
what will happen to the world
with the seals
clapping and clapping
with no care in the world
©MGA 2017
Holding on
tears falling down
knowing you don’t see
not because you don’t see
just because you don’t know
actions hurt
but words stick
just wanting to let go
waiting for the day
hoping for the day
needing to heal
but only one can do it
waiting to let go
©MGA 2017
Just to see you there
hearing your voice
feeling your presence
being immersed
in everything you
no drug
no alcohol
could compare to
my only addiction
that can never be cured
my love of you

When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it.
