INNER CHILD

"Inner Child"

Please release him;
let him show.
He's hiding behind
the wall of shame
he's come to know.

Don't deny him
his pain
he's carried with him
all these years.
It still remains.

Hold him in your arms.
To him be true.
After all
he's growing up
inside of you.

Show him compassion
Give him praise.
Maybe he'll succumb
with these
gentler ways.

So he's unruly,
and he's a bit wild.
But to love yourself
you must first love him,
your inner child.

DON'T MAKE IT OWN YOU

If you hold onto the hurt you suffer inside the pain you keep shall never subside. You're forsaking a heart that's been breaking. You lived your life in sterile control. How does that not damage one's soul? You're aching from a heart that's been breaking. You need to release all of the pain. By holding on, you've nothing to gain. Don't make it own you. Don't suffer alone too. It's hard when the damage is done to go back to where it begun.                             - Sandra Wyllie I'm waking a heart that's been breaking. It's going to be hell that I pay. But I won't let you push me away. I'm taking a heart that's been breaking. You need to release all of the pain. By holding on, you've nothing to gain. Don't make it own you. Don't suffer alone too.

I ALWAYS GET IN YOUR WAY

There must be some understanding. Where do I ever find the truth? Maybe you just see me as demanding. And maybe I only see you as uncouth. I don't always know how to please you. I don't always know what to say. It seems no matter what I do I always get in your way. It's hard to always know the right thing. The situation we gots a bit strange. I hope I'm not just a passing fling. I hope that soon something will change. I don't always know how to please you. I don't always know what to say. It seems no matter what I do I always get in your way. You never tell me that you love me. I never know just where I stand. It's so hard to live without the answers 'cause the questions get so out of hand. I don't always know how to please you. I don't always know what to say. It seems no matter what I do I always get in your way.                         by Sandra Wyllie

LOVE WEATHERS ALL STORMS!

Love weathers all storms.
It comes to you
in many forms.

Not always a warm
caressing, gentle breeze.
In fact it can be
an agonizing tease!

Awakens you like
rolling thunder in the night.
Props you up,
through blinded sight.

Torrid is the burning sun,
peeling away the layers
of your skin
as morning creeps in like a nun.

Exposing you like the bitter cold.
How it has you in its hold!

Tear streaming icicles
upon your face.
Frozen are you in its embrace.

Caught in the middle
of the eye.
It's a rage of destruction
as it passes by.

Whipping, whirling, upheaving,
bless be thou; it's never leaving!
But how I give a mighty hearty laugh,
because I so do love
to bask in its aftermath!

THE STAIN

You grew up as a stain, a blotch that spread and couldn't self-contain. Whereas purity lies in the heart, yours was broken from the start. Dirtied and laundered, still soiled in fearful disdain you recoiled.   Loves wounds unseen can never be washed away clean!   You've lived life trying so hard to scour when deep inside you have not of the power.   And doesn't it bring you such pain To always be wearing THE STAIN
