The Bath
Alexis L Rowan Dec 2017
I feel the water creep up my pale soft skin
Inviting me to take a dip
Thoughts of you cloud my head
I lay still in the warm bath
Trying to keep my head above the water
But thoughts of you cloud my head
Inviting me to take a dip
& I start to feel the water creep up my pale soft skin



help me




you make me feel so deep

Me

Me
I don't belong to anyone.
I belong to myself.
Every strand of my hair on my head
Every flake of skin
Every scratch, cut, bruise, and wound.
They are all mine.
Every freckle, pimple, and tear.
They all belong to me.
Every broken piece of my heart that is shattered,
Belongs to me.
So don't ever think I belong to you.
Don't ever think any of me will ever be yours to keep.
My strands of hair do not match those of yours.
My skin is not covering your body.
My scratches, cuts, bruises, and wounds do not match those of yours.
My freckles are not in the same patterns or places of those on your body and all my imperfections will never be the same as yours.
My tears do not fall the same as yours do and my heart is shattered in a way yours never will.
So don't think I will ever belong to you.
I don't belong to anyone.
I belong to myself.

Growing Up
Alexis L Rowan Oct 2018
things I’ve learned for myself in this past year:
you can forgive and forget. It’s okay to be selfish. Sometimes we out grow people and situations. Sometimes it’s not healthy for us and the person that we had in life, we don’t need anymore, they taught us our lesson(s). And remember, people don’t need you either, just the same.
People don’t like to you see you grow without them. People will lash out when they realize that & try to push you down to their level.
Things will trigger you. Things you’ve thought you healed, but source will step in to let you know in a different way, that you haven’t.
Let go of the things in life you can’t change & focus on what you have. Life will reward you with the things you want when you’re ready for them & it’s it’s meant to be.
When you feel something wrong, let it go, walk away. Your clairsentience is letting you know. And if it feels right; you’re aligned with life.
People are selfish. So are you.
You have the right to leave any situation if it’s not what you want in life right now.
  Sometimes spirit is just giving you a ‘sneak peak’ of life to show you what you need before you can do it.
Reality is only what you make it. “Reality” doesn’t exist.
Sometimes you only meet people to help you on your journey & sometimes the only thing that needs to happen is to meet. You’ll be surprised how one person can change your life in a matter of seconds and leave just as fast.
You can only help someone so much before it drains you. Leave. You don’t need to stay around that person.
And lastly, whatever you say about another, is a reflection on how you really feel about yourself. I’ve done it & ive seen it. It’s true. It’s just life showing you what to change, but you can only lead a horse to water.
Life is about balance. You have to find it, in everything. Literally everything.
Let go of outcome. Whatever you think Is going to happen, will not be what happens.
Life gives you hints for your future. Things that will pass over your head but when you’re ready for whatever that big thing in life is, you recognize this insignificant thing, was really a small part of the picture.
You will only find people that you want in your life by being you.
Always take time for yourself. You can only be the best for other people if you’re the best for yourself.
Isolation is the best remedy to grow.
“But darling, you were planted”
