overthinking

Today I choose
To
Open
M
Y eyes. Today I choose
Humbling,
Setting
Away pride.
Today I choose the right
To freedom.
Living
Life.
independence, liberty
The happiness
Oh my.
The peacefulness oh
My!
The autonomy
Of being aloud
To be.
Careless
Happy
Free.
Just like my god
Made me to
Be

If you are
not an
ocean
do not
make
waves.

No matter how painful the words I write,
     or how perfectly beautiful they rhyme,
     no phrase, no line, no verse, no time
     or poetry in the world could bring you back.

And I'll miss you forever, like how the shore
     unspeakably misses the kisses of the tides
     as they recede;
     and like the corals on the ocean beds,
     you are all I need.

It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to say no to someone you love. It’s okay to say no to a friend. It’s okay to say no to a parent or child. It’s okay to say no to a job or relationship.

It’s okay to say no to ****** advances. And it’s okay to say no to a person who’s romantically interested in you. Even if it hurts someone’s feelings, even if you disappoint people, even if you’re judged and ostracized — it’s okay to say no to anything and anyone that causes you pain or makes you uncomfortable. You’re allowed to put yourself first. You’re allowed to set limits and boundaries.

And you deserve to make your happiness and well being a priority. You don’t ever have to settle for something or someone that doesn’t feel right. And you definitely don’t have to compromise yourself for the sake of making other people happy. YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND IF THAT MEANS SAYING NO, IT'S MORE THAN OKAY.**

A quote by – Daniell Koepke

The best kind of kiss
Is one that has been exchanged
a thousand times between eyes,
before the lips have even met.

As far as I am concerned, poetry is a statement concerning the human condition, composed in verse.

i loved you
     you used me
