Running away
Alicia Pena May 2014
She doesn't like staring at herself in the mirror ... Afraid of what she might see ... She doesn't feel like herself ... The ghosts from her eerie past ...continue to chase her ... She keeps drowning among her memories ... It's eating her up inside .... Everyday she wishes she could escape this torture ... She keeps running away .... Without getting anywhere ... Until one day she lifts up her face looks directly at her reflection ... Without blinking ... She faces noone else but herself ... She isn't a stranger ... She is just a young woman ... With a story of her own ... With sweet & sad memories .... She is not perfect & will never be ... So she breaths deeply ... And finally smiles at that girl she had been trying to avoid for too long ... Her own self .... The answer to her worries was & had always been right in front of her ... Loving herself first was the key to her happiness ...
I just have felt this way many times & i am learning about self love :)

~~~The birds~~~
Alicia Pena Dec 2013
The birds ... They sing such sweet melodies ....  Even through the rainy & darkest days they continue their beautiful songs ... So everytime i am feeling blue .... I don't allow hope to slip away even when i might have lost who i truly am along the way.... I carry in my memory the inspiration nature brings to me so i can find myself once again ....
Nature & singing is and has always been my strength so i just thought i would write something ...

my smile
Alicia Pena Nov 2013
As Tears suddenly run down my cheeks.... I  slowly close my tired eyes ...remembering that it is ok to not always be strong ...i can finally let go ... Now i don't know when was the very last time since i wrote in my diary ... Maybe I'm simply afraid that the words will eventually vanish just like my happiness has ... Like the wind blows away today's leaves ... Until
I  hear something.. It's not really a sound ....
.For its my heart that Is trying to tell me " you can make it"
So i listen closely ... My heart knows best ... I know ... So in that moment ...
My fears begin to drift away ... as i open my eyes i realize that other things may break except my smile ... Noone can take away my smile ...

nature beauty
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
I Could stare for hours at the majestic Beauty of trees ... How they move from side to side as the wind blows through them ... They look as if they are waving " hello " ... So i wave back ... Its wonderful to be surrounded by so much beauty ... It's breathtaking ... It's better than watching a movie ... I could sit and simply watch the flowers slowly grow ....... Or a baby bird taking its first flight  ... I would notice a red ladybug crawling up my arm ... And smile for i know in my heart ... How lucky i am to be able to see the smallest yet most important things in life that give life meaning ... Every single big or tiny creature sharing planet earth with us ... Matters as much as we do , if not more and i don't wish to ever again take any of them for granted ... I wish upon a star that we may care for everything we have before its too late ... We would be nothing without Nature ... We would be dust ...

She is ...
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
She is stubborn ... Gets mad constantly ... Rarely listens to anyone ..but that's because most are attempting to change her .. And transform her into someone she does not wish to be
     She is brave
         She is strong
             She is unique
She dances and sings under the moonlight
     Looking up at the sky she wishes upon a star that one day she will reach paradise ... A place were she will be free ... To be herself ...
Without being afraid to express who she really is inside
The girl siting quietly at the back of the classroom ... She is who has the most beautiful dreams
Though many may not notice her ... She is more fearless
than you might expect ... And when you see her cry as others make fun of her ... Those tears will only make her stronger than she already is... Because she is wise enough to keep being who she is
Not trying to please the world ... Instead simply listening to her heart ... Allowing nature to be her silent guide ...and music her inspiration ... Closing her eyes ..she can see more clearly than ever before ... At last she won't ever forget to love ... Loving herself is the first step ...
I have no idea were this came from ...oh yeah it came from my heart :)

honesty
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
Honesty is so beautiful  ... For lies can  destroy ... Causing more pain the sad truth itself ...so if you ever say "i love you " please don't you ever lie ... Don't ever pretend to feel something that doesn't truly exist deep inside of your heart ... Lies could only give joy temporarily until the moment to face reality arrives and it becomes a dead end ... Feeling so lost in despair ... As the heart begins to break so
Simply use your words wisely ... One single lie could **** someone ...

Springtime ~~~
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
feeling the cool fall breeze ....admiring the lovely colors of the leaves ....
She begins to dream of the spring days that flew by ... So full of sunshine ... Butterflies .... Colorful gracefully yet tiny hummingbirds soaring with their mesmerizing Beauty ... The scent of flowers during springtime ..... Puppies playing in the Garden .... Birds singing their way through the day ..giving so much joy .... To her tender heart ... Such memories will keep her warm through the fall ... Through the winter ... Until springtime arrives once again .....
Spring is simply my favorite season <3

Afraid
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
My heart broke as i heard my mother cry herself to sleep and i so afraid .... Hid under the covers but i couldn't possibly hide from the endless pain i felt ... My innocence shattered .... I tried to shut out the screams ... Still Too young To understand why they couldn't just stop .... All i yearned for was for some peace .... while seeing love ... Soft ...sweet ... Tender love .. So
I promised myself i would not follow their path
I would love so very passionately ... falling hopelessly in love .. With trust ...respect ... Gentleness ...
Sweet kisses instead of constant pain ..... But as i close my eyes i can still remember when i didnt quite recognize daddy ... The fear he caused and now
It's so difficult  to open the doors of my heart ...to allow someone into my life ... What if he just wants to hurt me like daddy did .... I forgive him .... For i love him .. My father he will always be
I have to .... I need to so i can allow myself to be loved ... So i can set free ... I want to love like no other ever has ..... I know i can ... I have so much love to give ... So much happiness to finally feel ...
Of course i grew up with my parents fighting constantly .. Some violence .. But i can't say i had the worst childhood however it did change my path in life .. now i finally want to face my fears ...

That girl
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
I look at that girl with the long wavy hair walking down the Street alone  ...nobody truly understands her....because she likes being different .. Even if it means being lonely ... i have watched her cry time after time ... At her weakest moments she has desired to leave this world forever yet as she stares at the sky ...hope once again has filled her tender Heart ... I can now see a strength in her eyes that illuminates her for now she looks as the smallest yet most precious moments ... And all the endless beauty that surrounds her Everywere she looks ...
So much she once used to take for granted now are the center of her world .. There is so much light even without company she no longer feels completely alone ... She finally believes in herself a little bit more each day .... She sees her tears as a sign of healing ...and finally letting go of her past ... If anyone ever wonders how i know her so well ..it's because that girl is me .
I am glad i was able to express my feelings this way because I have learned alot along the way after all my struggles and i wish i had seen things i didn't see when i was younger ...

faraway
Alicia Pena Oct 2013
every single day she dreams of a faraway place
Were there exists the kind of peace she desires deep inside of her heart
She can see it crystal clear ...in every single detail There would be such Beauty
So magical she wishes she could fully express yet
She knows not many would understand
Though they don't quite need to
She simply knows that wonderful place exists for someday she will get there someday
Somehow
I wrote this inspired by nature .... By what i call paradise (:

— The End —
