My Inner Child

Anthony2 Comments
Holding My Inner Child by Lady Robin Ann

If I could hold my inner child, what would I say?

How can the words to come cross the right way?

–

Can I say, “I’m sorry, I know it’s been hard”

Or sing my reassurances like a medieval bard

–

Will the child be moved, or feel relief

Or will the suffering be more than brief

–

Rejections to be faced, disappointment, felt

Or those very first loves that make the heart melt

–

The child wants to fit in, but never will

It’s painful, forcing down to that bitter pill

–

The teasing and jokes you’ll have to endure

Losing that innocence, once so pure

–

I know it’s difficult the way you often feel

But know there’s a lot of people you’ll heal

–

Either with your words or just your time

A special phone call, or a published blog rhyme

–

You’re just unique, it’ll be OK

Because you’ll still be you at the end of the day

–

Strength from your experiences is what you’ll have

Be them tough, easy, happy, or sad

–

Never forget you’re a bright shining star

A guiding light of love for who you are…

Standing

Anthony4 Comments

Originally published on 03/30/2024

-Standing, alone but strong and firm.

-Waking each day filled with gratitude and an increasing sense of wonderment.

-Sitting silently contemplating change and where it will bring life.

-Lying down, softly encouraging the placement of each new brick, as I rebuild a foundation.

-Loving every second in this life, it’s been far from easy but nothing should be altered.

-Feeling each moment to the next and absorbing everything around me.

-Tasting the air the saltiness of it the freshness this is bliss.

-Holding fast and dropping obsession with a past that cannot change.

-Chomping at the bit for a future of endless fun and adventure.

-Closing chocolate-eyes and dreaming of desires and making them realities.

-Finding oneself and grabbing onto this wild eccentric person destined, without fear, trepidation or hesitation.

-Burning flames of a past to ignite a future that is, everything…

Adversity (Thoughts Before the Final Divorce 5/18/22)

Anthony24 Comments

What do you do when the well runs dry? When emotions are only anger and love dies

You reach out and communicate as much as possible but nothing changes her she just doesn’t want you anymore

You better youself and try to get stronger and more attractive but it has no effect and she is not impressed at all

what can I do or say to change how she feels and lives as nothing seems to impact her demeanor or how she feels

I’d seel my soul to get her to love me like I loved her that doesn’t work either she’s moved on

We do things but they feel like bones she has to throw rather than something she wants to do

I’d rather not be an obligation to anyone

I’d rather be a choice than an option

How will I go on, with all this hurt and pain

I always will, force of nature or habit, pick one

I love the kids and grandkids

How will I live without them, that’s very possible starts anew for the third time, is beyond sad

I can never get things right in my life always taking the course of highest resistance moving straight up hill forever seemingly

I just want to be a happy fellow and feel fully actualized in my life

To do so I have to build up myself created an infrastructure that has never existed

I have to create foundations pore concrete and lay down the plans for a new life and a new me that is able to be happy even if alone forever

I don’t know how I will do it all alone but I likely will have to and flourish despite the lonliness

I guess I am destined to be alone maybe it is as it should be…..

I will love myself somehow because it’s necessary.

If I don’t, then no one will…..

Fulcrum

Anthony6 Comments

Strength rises from within

Providing ease in adversity

Malleable to change and experience

Strong enough to withstand the fires of life

Redefining importance and priority

Easing the pain of the past letting old wounds heal

Becoming a center stone in your life age in the lives of others

Sharing your failures to help others find the path

Swelling with pride inside overcoming obstacles

Realizing you can have what you want

Manifesting a life you always wanted in every way

Continuing the work to become a better you

Rediscovering who you are and were meant to be

Be your own success story

Transform your life until there’s no recognition

Unburden yourself except your limits and mistakes

No one or nothing will stop you except you…

-aaa 🔥🔥

Hey There, Watson

AnthonyLeave a comment

Hey there, Watson what did you do?

Where has life landed you, friend?

Tell me tales of what you’ve lived through.

And how on earth they all will end?

–

I traveled deep into the darkness.

And I found light on the way out.

Most of my lessons far from harmless.

But that’s what my journey was all about.

–

Countless persons, experiences and such.

Formed the lessons I referenced before.

Love and strength were my only crutch.

Venturing past each slamming door.

–

What can I tell you my dearest friend?

Of what this world has given me.

Realities harshness doesn’t end.

Or a sweet reward of liberty.

–

Loving hard is not enough.

For person’s not worthy of a love.

No peace or beauty can be rough.

When all they do is push and shove.

–

Changes happened at this point.

An adoration for me I did find.

My gifts and talents I anoint.

As strength and power fill my mind.

–

The answers all kept coming.

To the questions remaining in my life.

With all my passions continuously summing.

I found the courage to leave my wife.

–

Toxic narcissism was her art.

From the beginning of our life.

Only when we were apart.

Did I realize I never had a loving wife.

–

Moving to a far away land.

I began the changes that never end.

Feeling empowered and really grand.

Starting affirmations I became a best friend.

–

A new career, no longer a phony.

I started writing for a living.

Helping me pay my alimony.

And providing me was sorely missing.

–

Purpose, usefulness, and daily challenge.

Or a steady part of my career.

This is how I get my revenge.

Building a future not muddled, but clear.

–

Final words my friend for you.

We can drop a needless fuss.

The brightest future now in view.

Succeeding example for the rest of us…

Achievement

Anthony4 Comments

Rise, ascend all pain.

Break the endless toxic chain.

Rebuild, start again.

–

Reach down deep inside.

Where your feelings cannot hide.

Aside, foolish pride.

–

Know your heart and beat.

Find that you’ll never retreat.

It lays at your feet.

–

Destiny is yours.

Like the winningest racehorse.

Take the desired course.

–

Be proud, look at you.

Only at your best it’s true.

Now it’s time to do

–

Take these flames to bed.

Smile as you rest your soft head.

Think of what’s been said…

Rebuilding

Anthony2 Comments

From the deepest depths of my soul there is a single small light.

This is the beginning, a long road to make it grow from an ember to a fierce blaze.

Tread lightly and cry as much as you can.

Your heart is rebooting, bare with the pain the burning and the radiating tingles.

I swear it’s going to be better than alright faster than you think.

You face your pain you invite it you bask as swim in it.

This processes and heals you and fast it’s just very hard and very intense.

You’re doing it, I don’t know but this is a rebirth. Hang on and keep going!

The End of the Beginning

Anthony2 Comments

You put in your best and it didn’t work out

That’s what life can be about

–

Loved very hard but you lost

Pondering if was worth cost

–

The Love you gave, and all its good

Didn’t turn out the way it should

–

Sleepless nights and endless tears

Trying to allay your deepest fears

–

Wondering what tomorrow brings

The iciest winter or warmest of springs

–

Look deep inside for signs of hope

On how to deal or how to cope

–

Then there it is a small sign at first

A hint of confidence then a burst

–

Remember who you used to be

Before your lesson’s history

–

Finding glimmers of light inside your soul

That flourished before you lost your goal

–

Buried away at every measure

About to recover the greatest treasure

–

Creative weirdness, music, and art

All your essence from the very start

–

Concerts friends and moments of peace

Bring what was chaos back to ease

–

Now you’re fully you my friend

And all your pain will come to an end

–

Always hit the gym and hit it hard

Venture outside your own backyard

–

Embrace change from all directions

And enjoy new found introspections

–

Don’t stress twisted time and endless sands

Your life is where it belongs, in your own hands

-aaa

Self Synchrony

Anthony2 Comments

I sing my own song.

I admit it when I’m wrong.

Know where I belong.

–

I play my own tune.

Not with a flute or bassoon.

But drums to the moon

–

I know who I am.

And Never seize up or clam.

Always be a man

–

Fear nothing that’s lived.

Life will flow freely as sieved.

If you just forgive.

Then you’d truly live.

–

Now’s the time my friend.

For this exercise will end.

Gentle peace portend…

In your Right Mind

Anthony5 Comments

It’s time to share a some thoughts

For those who’ve had hearts broken

It’s the ought to and ought nots

To whom that I have spoken

–

Take a deep look inside

And tell me what you see

If you’re not beaming with pride

You’re stuck and still not free

–

Look at all you’ve done

And all that you’ve survived

Not all of it was fun

But you’re here and still alive

–

Don’t worry about the future

Don’t dwell upon the past

Living in the present will suture

All the wounds you have amassed

–

Take lots of chances

In any opportunity to change

No more missed advances

Embrace your inner strange

–

Move forward on your journey

But know just where you are

If you’re twenty, fifty-two, or thirty

You are a shining star

–

So pat yourself right on the back

And have some pride, my friend

For your journeys been on a weary trek

But the worst of it is at an end…

-AAA

You Were Meant to be Right Here Right Now

The olden times that we miss most.

If only we could have them back.

If we did that’d be quite a boast.

All one’s dreams in a velvet sack.

–

But time marches forward.

Therefore so must we.

All goals we move toward.

On that eternal sea.

–

Make the best of now.

Focus on the present.

It’s a gift with a bow.

Nothing to resent.

–

Be true to yourself.

That is the best.

Lest you waste away health.

Hence failing a major test.

–

Many lost themselves.

Pursuing the perfect love.

Now we are found, the wealths.

Self discovery fits like a glove.

–

Take all the learnt lessons.

And let the revelations run wild.

Realizing they all were blessings.

As evolving to higher adult from a child…
