Mind
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
Fog shrouds my body
Inside my mind, diverse worlds
Each vibrant and loud
Too many ideas for too many worlds all speaking at once!
Each are vibrant, alive with potential and so disruptive!
The stresses of being a writer...

Young and Old
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
My body is young, and yet I feel so old.
Like I've already lived and experienced things
and it leaves me feeling weary.
Anyone else feel this way?
You are not alone.
For everyone who commented on my poem 'Fear', thank you so much. It meant alot to me to have such kind things said when I was feeling so low. Truly, you're the greatest.

Fear
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
There is nothing worse than
feeling chained and trapped
in place where the sun don't
shine
Depression and anxiety... such a toxic mix that feed off each other.
I applaud those strong enough to deal with them and still go on to succeed.

Crown of Light
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
If given the opportunity to wear a
true crown of light and life, I will
gladly trample on the crown of
the world.
One of my mottos!
Theres only so much material things can do.
I understand that people want to have things they never hand but I've noticed there will always be a void there...

Oh My God
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
Oh my God, I did it! AAAAHHHH!
I actually have 102 followers!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I can't thank everyone here enough!
I started this page last year because I felt
like I needed an outlet for how I was feeling.
It was such a low place to be...
Things now are somewhat better,
but life as you know is up and down
To know that HP is such a positive and
supportive platform means so much to me.
Especially because I do have anxiety
as well as depression.

I usually feel very VERY
low about myself. Writing was and always will
be a way for me to cope - even though I do have
a love-hate relationship with it, but I digress.
This platform has made me truly believe more
in the writing craft. When it comes to art and expression,
I feel like I truly can be myself. It's a ray of light in
my life that I'm starting to believe in.
So much so that I've got a project lined up!
I'm working on my first poetry collection.
There's still  alot of details to work out, but
I will let you know as I go.
I've now opened a Twitter account so you're
welcome to follow me! I'll try to be active on there as
much as I can.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all!
I'm super grateful for all of you.
Let us continue to grow as artists.
I love all of you.

Heres the Twitter like: https://twitter.com/TheRealLPurcell

Just as the sun rises, there always
comes a time for it to set
Just like life. And the tragic thing is...
Some suns set far too quickly. Every sunrise is different but they are glorious to behold as well as the sunsets. Soon enough, you won't see it anymore.
Be appreciative of all the sunrises and sunsets.
Be appreciative of life overall and all you have

Vain
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
Vain in their minds
Hearts filled with lust for darkness
Not all tongues are wise

Temples not sacred
Turn the sweet into sour
Numb, enslaved to vice
Vanity. Pride. Narcissism.
The deadliest sin of all
And it rules our society, more so now than ever...
Sad that it's now our culture.
I'm not saying I'm perfect or anything - I'm human. I've ******* up,
but still...

Lesson Learned #111
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
In a world that loves the artificial,
there are those who will always
love the natural
Funny how society says 'embrace your flaws! Your skin is beautiful! Your body is beautiful! Who cares if you have cellulite? Or acne! Or bad skin?'
when the reality is they don't want to see anything BUT perfection.
It's now 'courageous ' to show how you really look to sociery, especially when you hid behind the illusion of perfection and filters and crap.
Let's keep it real - this philosophy of proud to natural is dying.
But I am one of the few that hold onto it. As long as it's in me, the idea will never die.

Sea's Love Note
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
The surf gently strokes the shore
The sands reveal loving notes of
the sea's heart and soul
Shells that hold secrets and
songs of all wonders and
terrors that lay below
They glisten upon the golden
sands as a mere human like
me walks
How it soothes the soul.
I pick up the shells from
the sea's edge
They drink the sun's light on
my palm, so strange and beautiful
But nothing compared to when I
place the love's note to my ear
and hear the murmurs and
laughter of all it's creatures
How the sea's love notes
picks me off my feet
Drifting on the tide
of star-seed
dreams
I've always loved looking at seashells. There's something almost ethereal about collecting seashells and walking on the beach barefoot at sunset.
I hope to do this one day. A cheap thrill to most but I would treasure that moment.
A dream added onto my list of things to do before I die.
Be back soon!

Being human, we all
have that ability to hurt,
harm and ****
Life and death are powers
in all our tongues
and you don't seem to
get that what you say
has weight
Once you think your
words, know what
to day and don't
You never know what
demons each person
faces
Yes, they may smile
but your cruel words
adds to their pain
adds to them corroding
on the inside
They may be dancing
near the edge with
death talking in
their ear and you
may be the give
them that final push
They will take death
by the hand with
their faith in human
kindness crushed
People want to live
but many just survive
Don't make anyone
feel numb or more
dead inside
I'm feeling really reflective this morning.
People don't seem to get that words have weight and can destroy a life.
Be careful what you say and who you say it to.
Depression, anxiety, loneliness, suicidal
These feelings are no joke.
I felt like I had to write this.
I'm not an angel, I'm a sinner like everyone else. I have said things I should not have said. I have done things I should not have done. I'm no better than anyone else. But I've learned. Who I was at 13 or 18 is not the same person I am at 23. As I age physically, I age mentally.
Please to anyone who feels low, know you are loved. Please get help. People will strike you down but never let it destroy you.
Never ever underestimate the power of human kindness.

Pay homages to the ones who open

The road to success isn't easy, that much everyone knows!

If not for them, you wouldn't be where you are.

Living Art
Lyn-Purcell Jun 2018
I am the dream that breathes
I am the blur of thoughts
I am the embodiment of harmony as well as chaos
I am a glamoured lie with shadowed truths
I am a reflection of my reality
I am an eruption of expression, a flame born of passion
I am art of life's experience, not a body or object of perverse nature
I am a fragment of knowledge that walks with untapped potential
We're human at the end of the day.
We are all art, our lives living stories being told!

The difference is that with ones who 'can' are

But with the ones who just do what they do?
There are the ones who touch your soul.
Everyone is different, of course. I do listen to people who can sing, but I usually listen to the ones who do what they do. They are the ones who have that power to touch your very soul with what they do. Those people who do what they do have an aura of pure light...

So delicate on the nose
Wine of Italy

Such a rich sweet smell
Sparkling pink with berries
Of both rasp and straw

Sips from a Rose Sea
Tendrils coil down my body
Flowers bloom warmly
Had my first who!e glass of Rosé wine today with a friend.
I'm not a drinker, (so I'm naive in the ways of alcohol) but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Not something I'll make a habit of doing either lol cuz I'm a lightweight. Me and alcohol don't mesh well, that I can be honest about.
Drink responsibly always!
Know you limits!
