“Available Angel”
Oh they’re sitting around,
Just looking for work,
They’re unemployed angels,
And they’re starting to lurk.
They’ll lurk in your hallways,
When bedtime arrives,
They’ll loiter in the back seat,
On long boring drives. Continue reading “Unemployed Angels”
“Stay Calm, my Sun”
“Arboring Good Feelings”
Brene Brown’s research and writing on the impact of shame on our lives inspired me to write this piece. Her bottom line to getting over the shame so many of us feel is simply to speak it. Hidden shame is lasting shame. Speaking of shame is the healing of shame. Continue reading “My Shameful Story”
“Moving Mountain”
God left you in charge,
Of your life and your biz,
If you’re not in control,
Then tell me who is? Continue reading “You Have Brains in Your Head”
“What a Funderful World”
I am confused by the chaos,
Of solitude’s appeal,
I’m frightened by the terror
of retreating’s good feel.
I just want to escape,
But this we both know,
That voice is correct,
There is no place to go! Continue reading “Escape Where I’m at”
“Just Had a Red Dream”
It’s the road well travelled,
That everybody knows,
It’s what most people take,
Since they know where it goes.
It’s a popular road,
But I can’t comprehend it,
Why so many still use it,
I don’t recommend it.
“Satanic Sales”
I’m a con man, a gangster,
I will sell you this pill.
I will fool you and bribe you,
And tempt you – I will.
I’m a surgeon, so invasive,
I will slice my way in.
I get deep in your wallet,
And under your skin. Continue reading “I’m a Con Man”
“Stone Cold Smile”
The guy is amazing,
A best-selling poet,
He’s popular and –
Of course we all know it!
We’re impressed by his style,
Of rhyming a lot,
But what the guy says,
Just doesn’t mean squat!
“Where am I?”
Knowing this difference,
Will help you get far,
Guilt is behavior,
While shame’s who you are.
Guilt is forgiven,
You can let go and learn,
While shame simply smolders,
To fester and burn. Continue reading “Between Guilt and Shame”
“In Your Face and on Your Case”
We sit in our cubicles –
crowded and close,
Ten of us here,
And most quite verbose.
Some are quite helpful,
One’s rude as can be,
Obnoxious and nasty,
When talking to me. Continue reading “Cubicle Bullies”
“Pretty Prickly”
You’re depressed now,
Eating poorly,
Feeling blue and upset,
There are two words,
That will help you,
Do you know those words yet? Continue reading “Two Words”
“Possumized”
If you’re playing life safe,
Like a faking-dead possum,
Then average is fine,
But you’ll never be awesome.
