I found everything I ever wanted
On the other side of fear,
Passed the gates of a doubtful heart,
Beating with anxiety
Of an unknown future…
Love
Passion
Peace
Connection…
Once a foreign concept
Were now in my grasp,
As I felt my burdens
Ease
And the wounds of the past
Heal.

I hope to leave the same way I came
As an empty vessel
Having served my master
Purpose realized
Showing my age
Beauty in the healed scars
Honor in how I loved my broken pieces

the world became a dark place
when my dreams came true
along with my nightmares.

How can you tell me it wasn’t your intention
to see me fall...
When it was you
who made me realize that i could fly...
And snatched my wings away... mid flight

I like my coffee black
My drinks strong
My stories tragic…
In the faintest hope
that life will be sweeter

To have loved and lost
To be lost in love
To have loved a lost soul
To be in love while lost,
such a tragedy
the beauty of love

i'm not the best at anything.
but with all my pains and aches
broken bones and scares left
I am the best there can be
in this body of mine,
with no effort or intervention divine
all I have to do is be
to be the best at being me...
