For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others. / For beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness. / And for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are not alone. / -Audrey Hepburn
I went back to feel what it was like to be me. I went back to know I had no reason to feel guilty. I went back to quench my betrayal. I went back to make peace with my being. Yet... Now, I am unsure. I am blessed to have been given this body; This body that can move with grace, Touch those she loves with praise, And move swiftly without stumbling. Then why am I trembling? I fell in love. Not just with one person. I fell in love with the life I used to have. And still, I couldn't get myself to stay there. Was it fear? Was it a sense of obligation or duty? Did I really come back to resent those I'd wasted so much time on? I have so many questions... and so few answers. Why do we make it so complicated for ourselves when it doesn't have to be... Why did I change, when I loved the person I was? I don't want to mirror my past but I don't like what I see staring back at me either. I just want to be me. Why can't the voices in my head leave me alone?

Questions Without Answers
But love in every way was beautiful As the wind softly waved past my ears And as he smiled at me without thought As the waves beckoned me to come And the flowers awakened inspiration But hate inspired conspiracies As the thick dust flew by my face And as she shoved me buried in sorrow As the heartache threatened to slip away And the thorns dug even deeper But beauty was perpetually good As babies learn to listen to allure And Disney stories lured us in As horror no longer exists And euphoria is in - and within all. But accountability is ours As our planet is frightful And we have let our family starve As we have watched repeatedly And done nothing

Stand strong, I beg of you.
I have sorrow for those lost at sea Courage for those I deem worthy to protect Love for those who have hurt me Yet somehow I feel a stirring in my thighs A sensation that screams with good intentions All of them gone wrong in a single sentiment One of unworthyness and hatred A feeling that cancels out all the good Appreciation becomes a tool Manipulation second nature Love starts hurting with eyes That have seen true hardships Uncomprehension from others Break through your dignified skin Your ways of leaning in and whispering All your fantasies are no longer Strangling hands around your neck Missing all the shooting stars Of whom saviour seemed so far away You recognized a pattern You fell so far You hadn't wanted to turn back Throw yourself back in the waters of pleasure Releave yourself with ****** intent Have you realized how Satan has called you? How you have been fulfilling his favours? How abstruction has found its way into your life? Have you realized you have let it?

Criminal intent
What is it with this generation of lost souls? Do you ever just sit and think, where did we lose the part that made us whole? Somewhere along the way, hating love and loving hate became the forefront of everything we say. Somehow it became the generation of kids who probably won't realize they're adults until, one day, they look in the mirror and see that they're 45, still in the same pair of designer jeans and expensive shoes they could barely even afford. And the only reason they bought them was to post a picture on instagram just to get false sense of validation from people they barely even know. We lost sight of the importance of being an advocate of self. When we have money, that's our only weath. What about wealth in mind, body, spirit? This generation would rather snort lines for an out of body experience. How sad. The generation that will laugh watching others cry, just to fit in. What, exactly, are you trying to fit into? What is it really, that prevents you from being in-tune? Why the moon isn't as interesting as that little corner of doom in a messy room, while you have no desire to bloom. I want so badly for this generation to be better, together. To treat one another like sister and brother - It's time for everyone to blow their cover. Take off the mask, they're no longer needed. Be the future, because we are. Become what you want to be seeded. It's okay to cry or to ask for help. Put your pride aside, go inside to find that real wealth. I challenge you to be better. Look yourself In the mirror and surrender. I wish you love and peace through all of your endeavors. Love. - L.G.

I am resilient. I am strong. I will defeat my devils. And I will overcome my gravest fears... Because **I love you, all of you. You are worth it.** And I will fight till the end of the Earth to let you know that.

It's all for you
*An arrow through my mind, Athousand through my heart, It makes no difference, If I know you'll still love me at the very end.*

*
My words, As swords penetrating your heart, Would you deny me? Would you deny me my freedom? My healing heart, Fire ablaze and welcoming your pain, Will you tell me the truth? Will you tell me yours? My thoughts, Hurtful and soft, lively and beautiful, Will you take my hand? And watch the sunset with me at the end of the day? The world hurts me, Every stepping stone is another brick Thrown right into my face Will you protect me? Will you tell me everything's going to be okay? Will you lie to me? Will you lie to me to make me feel better? Or will you let me crash with the painful truth? Will you hold me tight? Even when I say that you shouldn't. Will you love me, even if I hurt you? Will you love me when I tear up? Will you love me when I hurt? When I tare down inch by inch and fall? Will you hold me up? Will you try to see through me? Through my lies and faults, I am lost in feelings that I so desperately want more of. I am lost in between paradise and confusion. I am lost in such a way that no one understands when I get flustered over you. I am lost because... I fell. And I fell because I can finally see You in my life, And I in yours.

Love sick
"What do you do When the pasts haunts your every move, Whispers in your ears When no one is there to distract you And laughs at you, Every time you do something wrong?" "You keep going. You do your best. You do what you love Aand you defy the limits Your ego slaps you in the face with."

Spiral incline
Sometimes my imagination Takes me so close to you That I can feel your breath Syncronized with mine Yet when I open my eyes All I see is a bright light with the shadow Of an indistinct aura of someone Who is an ocean away You've stolen my heart away Like no one else has My beautiful love

My love
Love makes you Love elliminates hate Love builds acceptance Love creates understanding Love increases one's will to live Love makes the world go round Love brings the good out in people Love inspires you to do the best you can Love encourages you to achieve all you want Love holds you up when others may pull you down Love buys you all the things you want from our universe Never forget the power of what sharing love may do for another. It may just change someone's life.
