Where did the years go

 Where did the years go?
to the things we believed in
to love, and life and family
to comfort in our skin
time did not vanish
it did not run and hide
it is not held captive
nor like the wind outside
time runs through us
entwining with each soul
etched into our memmories
making our lives whole
 
When we know
by Meg Shea 

when you were born
you were a clean slate
you knew nothing at all
blissful in your ignorant state

as you aged
as you grew tall
you became a teenager
and thought you knew it all

as you rushed and as you ran 
out into the world you were head
it was there that you learned
 you knew nothing instead

so you lived life and experienced it all
 you said goodbye and closed your eyes
it was at the end you knew so much 
yet no one knew you were so wise

just being me

i used to want to be like you

fit in, blend, and not be blue

But as I aged I finally knew

I am me and you are you

by fitting in I did not stand out

I could not show my talents about

being me allowed you to see

the most incredible amazing me

now my goal is to just be me

being unique is my specialty

being me allows me to be

my best and most happy!

The tender dawn 1990

The tender dawn is breaking and so is my fragile heart.

Because I’m so alone in this world torn apart,

Another day I sit and prey this loneliness will end.

If only I could see tomorrow and it in find a friend.

But tomorrows dawn is  breaking in today’s unsplendored way,

and in it I see only tears for all my yesterdays,

 if only I could see the sky the dawn break just for me,

I’d see hope for tomorrow and let yesterdays fears free.

The seed

close your eyes

and reminensce

of a distant kiss

it was our first

it started the thirst

the seed

of the need

that  binds us

entwines us

and ties us

together

forever

life

Life is a slow death
 
it shortens by each moment each breath
  
we make many messes

 fill our days up with stresses
 
and what happens after death
 
is pure conjecture and guesses.


Middle class

I'm just a middle class girl
 just a middle class wife
working a middle class job
in my middle class life
  getting squeezed to my knees 
by those who please
 and lifes a bitch
getting devoured every hour
 by those with power
 the filthy rich
from middle to lower I go
as I'm squeezed out of my share
 while the men with all the money
 get all my honey without a care
and who will see this death of me
 not the men with all the cash
for those who squeezed will be pleased
cuz the middle will be a thing of the past!
 
To baby shea march 18, 1987 written for Laura shea

my days are filled with happy thoughts and future plans of things to do.
my nights are filled with happy dreams of what life will be like with you.
my soul is filled with special thanks for my bundle of joy from up above.
my heart is filled with much emotion because a baby brings so much love.
my eyes are filled with tears of joy and wonder of what gender you'll be.
my life is filled with so much happiness because of you, the baby inside of me.

CURSED 1984

Cursed is thee

And woe is me

 For can’t you see

I’m not meant to be happy

For every time

The sun starts to shine

The hill I climb

Gets steeper I find

The harder I try

I come up shy

Unable to fly

And I don’t know why

I have many tears

For all these fears

And while I tried

I still cried

But I tried to show

How I know

Not to give up

Not to give in

This curse won’t win

 I’ve got to escape

This hate

Forgive fate

And just start late

And maybe someday

They’ll be a way

For me to fly

And fly real high

I don’t know why

But I will continue to try

For there is too much at stake

And this curse will break

Happiness will be mine to take

And I’ll get to eat my cake

On this day

The clouds will go away

Violins will play

Vanishing my fear

 The sun will appear

It will stay

It won’t go away

That’s when the hill I climb

Will get shorter in time

And you will see me be

Finally happy                                                                       by meg shea
