never alone
always had your
gives and takes
getting me
through the day
relied in everyway
on that support
now facing
constant mockery
you left me
for my inadequacies
especially my
inner strength
was missing
now watching
It all fall apart
saddness overwhelms
-Jennie Nawrocki
history reminds
of what was
we think was
supposed to occur
what should
have happened
lost avenues
in wondering
missed understandings
grow into blindness
respected friends
until you disappear
repeating to yourself
what happened
-Jennie Nawrocki
we all sat
conversing about
seemingly things of
non importance
laughing, smiling
straight faced
although all
with unending
interest consumed
the night
lasted as
though time
was non existent
leaving only
words of
see you soon
echoed within
-Jennie Nawrocki
t t t t t t t t t t’s
two simple lines
together tough
though thoughtful
tinkering braids
tonight they
tossed totally
this letter
morphs into l
-Jennie Nawrocki
caught between
mights, ifs and
real events
planned or
completely spontaneous
the result
remains unsure
for self confidence
in the situation
is forever gone
-Jennie Nawrocki
to walk in someone’s shoes
garners the fact that they
are extremely different
than you, that they
have the same rights of others
to be who they want
an individual, a family
of which they define
as living their lives
just as we have
there is no need to seem
intrusive or assume
we are like them for
we understand each
are individuals without
need for constant
explanation just knowing
we all have our
own style and preferences
-Jennie Nawrocki
confusion ain’t
nothing new
for things
forever seeming
tied together
in tight knots
blocking realities
project begins
decifering which
to release
some with more
effort than others
eventually gives way
ending layers
never meant
to be mixed together
-Jennie Nawrocki
find it within
the ability
to see beyond
atrocities experienced
for they can hold
the mind
into a depressing realm
that hinders
functioning completely
for living with
the learned triage
in extreme conditions
doesn’t apply
to everyday conversation
and person to person interactions
for once left
difficult circumstances
the average man on the street
gives an element
of vulnerability
to those around
who want to
have that friendly
demeanor allowing
relationships to develop
outside of
being an acquaintance
-Jennie Nawrocki
when weakened
the body loses
ability to fight
missing ways
to express
tumultuous emotions
through daily
frustrating words
has eaten
me alive
from the inside
-Jennie Nawrocki
saddness and anger
swirl my mind
spewing words
ever so disgusting
wrong and mixed up
magically disappear
into real thoughts
of concern
compassion and
known kindness
forever thankful
that are
essential and
completely necessary
in successful interactions
