Dyslexia

It was around fourth grade I was diagnosed with dyslexia. I wasn't sure what it was, all I knew I saw the world from a different point of view. It affected every point of my life & everything I do. I always wanted to be a writer, but thought it could never be. Who would ever publish me? Would my stories make sense? Would my poems be worth the read? I wouldn't go into academics. I'll have to take a different path. I also have dyslexia in math. Whatever it is I decide to do. I will somehow make it through. Dyslexia will not define me.

Seasons

Like & love change with the seasons. Like the Weather - good or bad everything happens for a reason. Some people are like Spring, common & Fair. Others are like Winter cold and distant. Many are like Summer warm and inviting. Others come without a warning like thunder and lightning. Some people can be like fall forever changing like the leaves. Seasons come & go, just like people. And people just like seasons are forever changing.

It's just a feeling

I was feeling optimistic I was feeling bright and shiny. Even with all what's going on in the world I was truly a happy girl. But lately I've been feeling down & blue. Many people in my life turned out to be false and untrue. It made me rethink the way I look at life. Some people cut me deep like a knife. Others have let me down time and time again. And yet there's some I thought were my true friends. I have a cat and he turned out to be a better friend than most. I also realized through life I could no longer coast. It just a feeling that I have. It's just a feeling that I know. The only person I can really trust is myself. Sometimes you can trust on no one else.

You are the best part of the day

No matter what life throws at me. No matter what will be. You are the best part of the day. You make all my troubles and worries go away. You Don't judge me and put me down. You don't run me ragged and drag me around. You Make me smile when I'm feeling sad. You make me happy when things go really bad. You make every day worthwhile. You are my Hope you are my smile. I'm so glad you are in my life. And i will always keep you near. I can't tell you how much I love you but everyday I will make it clear.

It's just a feeling

It's just a feeling I get. I shouldn't waste my time on pain and regret. Don't Dwell on the past and look towards the future. There's no quick fix there's no quick cure. Pain is something you have to go through you have to endure. It is a part of life like it or not. Be Grateful for what you have be grateful for what you got. Time is short and so is life. People's can word soothe others cut like a knife. Whatever life throws at you take it all in stride. Hold your head up with strength and pride. No matter how bad things it can get it will always get better. Just don't give up never say never.

If only I knew

I used to see the good in people even when they were being bad. I used to trust people even when it hurt me & made me sad. I put my faith into anyone who treated me kind. Who gave me hope & peace of mind.                                                   Now I can't trust my judgment at all.                                                        People won't help me up when I fall.                                                      Whether it's literally or figuratively.                                       Some people try to get the Best of me.                                                      I look before I leap
Now I'm in way too deep.
If only I knew ahead a Time.
   Who was truly a friend of mine. I would not have put my faith and trust in them.                                           Then I wouldn't get hurt time & time again.

Friends come and go

Some friendships last forever. Some are just passing by. Some friends barely stay together. Some people become more than friends but don't know why. A good friend is hard to find. Some friendships are like rare gems and give you peace of mind. Some friends come and go. Some of you barely know.
