You can give someone the world.
You can walk a thousand miles in their shoes.
If they don't want to take responsibility for their actions,
their choice of destroying parts of you,
their choice of treating you wrong,
their choice of not putting you first,
they are not going to.
Stop bending over backwards
for someone who wouldn't
make a slight turn for you.

I push away the people who are closest to me.
Maybe it's because
they are so quick to come and help me.
But what if I don't want to be saved?

You held my heart with the tightest grip,
To only let go,
and break it

Have you ever talked to yourself?
Not your average talk though
I'm talking about the person inside you, the inner you.
The child in you.
We hold on to our childhood deep down inside.
Deeper than our hearts. Look a little deeper,
I mean in your soul.
That person needs you.
Our emotions today
reflect a lot on our childhood memories.
The way we talk, act, and perceive others.
Give that child in you some time and dedication.
Reach your hand out to them. Help them grow,
help them understand the world you are currently in.
We often look and blame our experiences with others
as an excuse for our actions today.
It's not that.
There is a person inside you, you have to mend things with.
Your true self. Your inner child.
You.

Although this life can be blinding
I will always
have an eye
for you.

I was staring at the most beautiful flower
Just there to clear my mind
The wind was touching me softly
It was nurturing.
As I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply
She whispered in my ear
"Just do it, give it all that you got. Surprise them"
She put a smile on my face :)
It was her that took my breath away
I exhaled and opened my eyes
A dream
She was a dream
reminding me
to chase my dreams

Calming his temper felt like
placing my hand in boiling water
expecting it not to bur
yet,
the burning felt serene
as it was numbing the las hit
he engraved on my body

If I told you how many tears
I've cried since I let you go..
You'd question if I ever really loved you.
Spoiler:
You can still love someone from a distance.

Do you know how much it took out of me to give you
pieces of me that
I,
Till this day,
cannot accept?
-You may have a way with words, but you also have a way of freeing me from my own demons.
and that's why..
I really don't want to let you go.

You bought me two bouquets of wilted roses.
You handed them to me with that smirk on your face.
You know, the one you used to give me before you laid
your hands on me. I seen beauty in them. In fact, I had our future
in my hands.
A dozen reasons why I loved you
and a dozen reasons why we could never be.
All wrapped together by the man who abused me.
You see,
I did not throw them away.
I did not rip them apart.
Instead, I laid them to rest.
Which then
Soothed the pain from my breaking heart.
