Losing my Mind

I'm on the verge of losing my mind.

Visions of violence dance in my head and racy thoughts dart aimlessly unaligned.

My energy flows like thick molasses and I forget to remember to be kind.

The world's worries weigh upon me, fear forcing shadows blocking my shine.

I can not create enough of and keep relentlessly running low on time.

Stuck in a false paradigm.

Yet I AM and right on the brink of losing my mind,

and then finding my peace.♡

Challenge
In fifteen words, contradict yourself as many times as possible.
anything goes.

Old news

My life's bittersweet.

I'm in and out, up then down,

it's always the same difference.

He knows me

He sees all sides of me

He sees the Gem_in the_i of me

He knows all the hows and the whys of me

He sees I'm so imperfect

Yet he knows perfect love inside of me

He knows when I'm a timebomb

and sees to just take time with me

He sees the full intent in me

to be the best that I can be

He simply knows the depth of me

To Be

She wants to be healthy

She wants to be free

She wants to breathe deeply

She just wants to be

She wants to be loved

She wants to love she

She wants to be accepted

She just wants to be

She wants to be able

She wants to believe

She wants to be strong

She just wants to be

...

She was like…and he was like…

Gesticulating hands, animated faces

Gossip fans.

My Mr. Right Now

My Mr. Right Now wants to hold onto me

be my partner in life, something he'll never be

He can't make me his wife

I won't love him you see

There's a lock on my heart

and he don't have the key

Peace

Peace is 

The warm glow of the sun on your face

The slow pace of an afternoon stroll

The laughter of children sharing each other's joy

The holding hands of a girl and a boy

The love in their eyes in their gazes so deep

A sleep

a restful comforting sleep

A pillow that softly cradles your head

A meadow filled with countless beds

of flowers and bees

and tall luscious trees

The sound of the raindrops hitting the window pane

The rainbow that stretches so wide across the sky

A mountain so high, a sweet baby's cry

A voice thick like molasses or sweet like honey

A touch warm and gentle, a taste rich and yummy

The babbling brook and whispering wind with so much to say

The beginning of a beautiful morning, the end of a long day

A faith in a Higher Power, a regal eagle in flight

A hope for a better day, a kiss and being held tight

Peace is all of these things

and the joy that they bring
