I imagine your hearts in a maze I get to explore.
You have me knocking at every trick door.
At the entrance There's a roadmap with instructions to view.
I look for a loophole I can manipulate myself through.
Is there a hidden or a dark side I shouldn't go towards?
Or is this dark side something I'd want to explore?
You'd give me the spare key, so I can enter whenever,
You'd let me visit inside your heart, now and forever.
This maze could be fun; something interesting to do.
If I continue this maze, I'll visit every room.
I'll learn about you and what makes your heart tick.
Only you could push me away and make my heart sick.
I look into your eyes, like a clear window to look through.
I'm not scared of your heart, for it is safe here; I'll never question you.
In this maze of your heart, I am venturing in.
It's the most amazing journey; to me, you're more than a friend.
I could write all day, every day, on the walls of your heart.
For the walls would be covered with such beautiful art.
Art made by not only me, but we will make this art together.
We could paint and write there forever.
Look at this beautiful mess we've created.
I know in my heart this will last for ages.
Your heart is the medicine that helps to replace,
The feeling I have when I'm not in the right headspace.
The light in your heart, at first, seemed dim.
Was it me? Did I maybe help bring some light back in?
I told you I'd be your light in the darkest of rooms,
because you have been saving me from so much gloom.
I'm thankful to have this wonderful maze.
Since you gave me this heart, I'm busy all day.
I'd never trade it for anything else.
That's why your heart's not sitting on a shelf.
Trust me with your heart, and you can have mine.
Just promise never to leave me behind.

I lie here, chilly from the cold. How can I be sad?
Because I know all it takes is his sweet words to warm my heart like a sweet little heating pad.

Whether a conversation, a whisper, or even in text,
I know he will keep me warm with whatever he says next.

The sweetest words he speaks will melt me in an instant.
I can be right next to him or off into the distance.

This sweet little heating pad warms my fingertips as well.
This beautiful encounter sure feels like Heaven, never could feel like hell.

All the stings and tingles from us, in between—
It’s something I’ve never felt, better yet, something I’ve never seen.

The sweetest warmth of his presence sitting next to me
Is felt when I’m not with him, still melting my soul and setting me free.

This sweet little heating pad brings me comfort in many ways.
I feel this little heating pad each and everyday.

With this profound connection, no one can separate us from a touches sweet and warm
There’s nothing wrong with being beside in this perfect raging storm.

I never thought I’d find something like this in life that was ever missing.
That’s until he showed me who he was and for this I praise God for his existence

I’m thankful for his respect, gentleness, in words and all his manners.
He settles me when I’m anxious and when I’m showing  my weakness like a banner.

To have his presence you’ve felt for almost half your life.
You’ve always been connected but never thought about this close of a connection twice.

How could I be so lucky to get to share this heart of mine?
Sharing my heart with  him, I never knew he would add so much sunshine.

So I’ll keep the little heating pad close by me for today.
Never mind, I’m keeping the little heating pad forever and always.

These **** bottles of pills.
What kind of person have you made me?
When I take these little pills.
It’s only to alter some brain chemistry.

Lately it seems as if they are making me mad.
Quickly destroying all that I have.
These **** bottles of pills,
Yell out from the shelf.
“Please take me I’m here for your mental health”.
The problem with these **** little pills,
Is are they causing a problem, not letting me be free.

Tuning me into a mess, and not letting me be me.
This plastic facud I place on everyday.
Let’s me fake out everyone, Like,
“look she’s okay”.
Really though am I?
Have you seen this whack?

I’ve become obsessive, angry, and an emotional train wreck.
It’s taken over my sweet little brain.
Makes me feel as if I’m insane.

“Take this pill for your anxiety, even though it says depression”
“Oh and take this one, it will help you focus.”
“But keep in mind it also keys you up so your anxiety may be running little a muck.”
“Oh and don’t forget these pills they will settle you down, help you not have another run of the mill panic attack.”

Lets be real for a minute, let me ask you a question, how do you know that?
Only I know the real me and the one whos mind is off track.
Sometimes I feel like these pills are making me lose all control.
Like I have no say in what my brain tells these idle hands to hold.

I just jump in headfirst and keep diving in,
Not thinking of others’ hearts and what I might do to them.
Moral of the story is: Stop blaming the bottle of pills.
Keep control of yourself; don’t let yourself falter.
Find other things to occupy your brain rather than laying your pills on the altar.
Don’t worship the pills like it’s the only way out.

You are the person you were meant to be.
Let’s take away this mental health stigma and stand up for yourself.
I promise you’re really not crazy.
We all suffer from some type of mental health issue; you are not lazy.

I'm by the lamp on
the table in the room.
Worried, anxious,
yet happy, but waiting.
Where are you?
I seek you out like
I'm trying to find you in
a game of hide-and-seek.
If I came to you,
would you hide from me?
The sun is soon setting;
nighttime is near.
I know the time to leave
will soon be here.
It's so hard to leave
your magnetic pull.
I hope that soon I'll
sleep and search for you.
You'll be waiting in the
corner of the room.
Morning is coming
It's sooner than I think.
You're the sunrise shining
through the window on me.
I wake up, look around to see—
Where are you?
You're right where you say
you'll always be: in my heart ❤️

She's always in her mind,
looking for things she can never find.
She's chasing crazy dreams and wishes.
She's always chasing ***** dishes.
She's always in her mind,
looking for love she left behind.
She's always overthinking every situation,
causing her to wander to higher elevations.
She's always in her mind,
running from troublesome thoughts on the carousel you wind.
She's a worrier, always expecting the worst.
Why did she ever think of these troublesome thoughts at first?
She's always in her mind,
always working and on the grind.
She has to finish what she starts.
When she doesn't, she feels she shatters beautiful art.
She's always in her mind,
looking for ways she can always be kind.
She feels she's doing something sweet
when she gives loved ones things she finds neat.
She's always in her mind,
feeling as if she's leaving people behind,
she stresses over how others feel.
It makes her upset, almost ill.
She's always in her mind,
almost as if she feels confined, like a person locked in a room,
like she's chained and faces an uncertain doom.
She's always in her mind,
almost as if she were dressed up and disguised; she puts on a mask to show off a smile. Sometimes it's something you haven't seen for a while.
She's always in her mind,
Maybe it's what she was prescribed.
She sometimes feels crazy and she doesn't fit in.
But boy does she love when she's pulled into them.
She's always in her mind a scary place to be, but if she weren't in her mind, she wouldn't be.

Powdered concrete broken down,
Rocks show on the barren ground.
Tiny particles of dust and sand,
The dirt is rich in this poor land.
But you see a **** poke from a crack—
That's just a sign of beauty, new growth pushing concrete back.
The **** bares a sight of simple charm,
The sweetest daisy, growing strong, green leaves for arms.
The beauty this daisy possesses shows such grace;
It shines upon her yellow florets, her face.
What beauty comes from something walked on,
Something that's kicked and never looked upon!
This beautiful daisy, not only a new birth from the ground,
Shows signs of a new beginning and joy all around.
