Suddenly
Without a clue
out of the blue,
the old me died
reborn all new.
All past mistakes
proved to be true,
knowledge was earned
from what I knew.
Out of the blue
everything changed
the life I lived
was rearranged.
All thoughts I had
were interchanged,
my preferences
were seen as strange.
Without a clue
to what comes next,
training my heart
not to expect.
Coaching my eyes
to not project,
letting my soul
shine and reflect.
Without a clue
out of the blue,
every old sight
formed unique views.
Every past fail
carries bright hues,
lessons were learned
from which I grew.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Shift
Unexpected change,
can happen quite suddenly.
Roll with the punches.

Sincerity
Honesty is key.
Direct intentions are shown.
Respect is given.

Silhouette
Childhood best friend
obscure to see,
known to extend
each time I flee.
Your soul depends
on me to be,
I make you bend
and crawl with me.
My growth is yours,
so is my speed.
You are my cure
for lonely needs.
You must endure,
my every deed.
Feeling secure,
always agree.
Partners in crime,
my closest peer,
with all my climbs,
sure to appear.
My silent mime
has no found fears,
here all the time,
throughout the years.
Each growing step
forced your follow.
Secrets we swept
tied tomorrows,
You must accept
options narrow.
My trust you kept
loyal shadow.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Unchain
To live and let live,
respect a different view.
Clear any judgment.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Adios
Forsaken by your simple mind,
makes my life dance,
I wave goodbye.
Your selfish ways, simply unkind,
desperate to take
what others find.
I elevate so you can sigh,
all eyes are shut
or simply blind.
The games you play are well outlined,
manipulate
until confined.
Entrapment with no reason why,
to entertain
your hidden side.
You like to laugh as others cry,
seeing through you,
hurts me inside.
Unknowing all you chose to hide,
so glad that I
opened my eyes.
I hold my tongue, release all binds,
no wish for luck,
or evil grind.
Our lives no longer intertwine,
not looking back,
the past reminds.
Instead, my heart chooses to fly,
under the sun,
feeling divine.
