Rewrite
NJ Oct 2
I would turn back the hands of time,
Go back to the beginning,
Change where we're going,
Change where we've been.
If I could undo the past,
I would rewrite the present.
Often times, in our short but long lives, we are faced with moments of regret and wonder, "If I could.." would it change or will it still end up the same?
Alas...
Everything unfolds as it should. The good and the bad. This is the journey called life. Without regrets there will be no lessons learned.

Dearest Human...
NJ Feb 2021
Dearest Human,

Please know that one day, someone will love you. They will look past what's on the outside and see only what makes you stand out on the inside. They will not judge you, despite the differences in ethnicity, religion, as well as anything else which encompasses who you are. They will accept, respect, honour, and learn from you. They will not be the entire world, but just one individual who will become part of YOUR world. So keep fighting for who you are. And as long as one heart out of billions, gives you sanctuary, then know that you have already won. Be kind to yourself and others. Lead with passion and compassion. Always be the contrast to the world's chosen path of negativity. Be strong and be humble, but never let your spirit crumble!

With love,
Your fellow human! ♡
Human beings are beautiful, but can sometimes be a dark cloud of negativity and hate. Let us come together to love, respect and accept each other. We are all the same though we present so differently. Focus less on what's on the outside and love more for what's on the inside.

Enchantment
NJ Jul 2018
As my alarm buzzed, i opened my eyes with a tired stretch. I turned to my right only to be met by a sight I'd never before seen. As you lay there fast asleep as the sunlight seeped through a half drawn curtain, it's gentle warm rays caressing your face thus creating an outline of a perfect profile. I couldn't help but stare, taking in every second i could of that gorgeous moment, setting my soul ablaze with the love i felt for you. And i hoped to live this first morning of marriage, over and again, through all of our existence.

Depression
NJ Jul 2018
Feeling trapped in a cage,
Barely able to breathe -
Like suffocating,
People advocating -
"Fight! Break it down, break free!",
Looking at the cage you say,
"This is impossible",
And then realisation strikes,
They see roses, whilst you see thorns,
For...
To reach happiness you must first deal with pain.
Mental health is an important issue to shed some light on, as there are too many people who feel this way in this world we live in.

Sweet Contradiction
NJ Jul 2018
Looking from afar,
Our souls create symmetry -
Like reflections in a kaleidoscope.
But look a little closer,
And there you'll find it,
Sweet, sweet contradiction.

Blue Door
NJ Jul 2018
Giving him all of her happiness,
She watched him walk away,
Leaving her empty once again,
Without a thought to spare,
Never looking back,
He walked away gleefully as if he were renewed.
Led forward by his hopeful vision of a future,
His presence disappearing,
And all she saw then was a door,
A dark, creeking old, blue door.

Gold

Polish and shine your existence,
For you are gold -
Inside and out,
Molded by the fiery flames of trials and tribulations.

Untitled
NJ Jul 2018
Her heart, like ice, as cold as a winter's day. Her tears trickling softly down her cheeks like the first snowfall at Christmas. The yearning of her soul for the warmth of a bright Summer's sun. Her world, changing like the colours of the leaves in Autumn. She searches for her identity like it were a hunt at Easter. A powerful decision to embrace life as it comes, like a New Year's resolution in June.

— The End —
