Me

You asked me who I want to be, so here’s my answer:

I want to be FEARLESS & SELFISH

I want to walk above the ground
I want to give my thank you speech
And wear the crown

I want to open my voice
I want to tell them exactly how I feel
And not give a **** about their ideals

I want room to grow from a fraction to a whole
I want my world to revolve around ME
And be able act fierce and carefree

I want to be the woman that intrigues strangers
I want to bravely approach them with friendly banter
And have spontaneous encounters that brings on laughter

I want to be someone more like me

Inspired by someone from this site, when he asked me "Who do you want to be"
Thank You :-)

Pheromones

a breath of fresh air
mixed with the intoxicating
scent of your cologne
that entices me oh so painstakingly
God these pheromones!

as I breathe in
something animalistic
awakens within me
that drives my mind ballistic
God these pheromones!

Goodbye

goodbye my second love
what we had was great,
but if we were both being
honest it wasn't supposed
to happen. I'm sorry if
I hurt you or made your
view of this world worse
that was never my intention

It's too late for redemption
but know that my feelings
were sincere and my love
was pure but my intentions
were never to hurt you.
goodbye, my second love.

;

the meaning
resonates with
me more and more
each day

a daily reminder
that I have chosen
to keep moving
forward and yes
I will have days
where I want to
lapse and revert
back to that
dark place, but

I'm choosing me
and moving forward
the best way I know
how; with my head
held high and my
spirits even higher

Lots of things have happened within a year and I lost myself. Finding it harder and harder each day to figure out who I am and what that means to me. Bonds that I've grown with friends have become fragile in the process, but to get to where I need to be it will be worth it. Keeping myself together is all that matters. Call me selfish if you want it doesn't bother me because it's needed.

Someone dear

don't look at
me like that

the eyes of adoration
weigh so heavily
on my mind

when you look
at me don't compare
yourself with I
or tear yourself
down because
you think I have
it all together

look pass my facade
and see me for who
I truly am
a lost, tired and scared
girl who is still
figuring out her life

embrace me like
a warm blank on
a cold winter night
sipping hot cocoa
to warm my insides
and wake my mind
from the dark places
within that wants
to take me under

know that it is I
who should be
looking to you
in admiration
and that you lack
nothing

morning eyes

at 4 in the
morning the sun
is never up
but i usually am

i worry
about things
that are out of
my control
even more about
things that are

get up early
when i work
and earlier
when i don’t
the older i get the
more i learn
sometimes you
need to cry it out

alone
at night
into your pillow
the blankets
wrapped all
around you

sometimes you
need to cry
and cry
and cry

until the morning
sun falls across
the tears dried
under your lashes

and the lump
in your throat has
dissolved so you can
breathe with ease

you need to get up
let hot water
wash it away
let the steam rising
from your mug soften
any sorrow left around
your morning eyes
take a deep breath
don’t mention it
to anyone

and
just
keep
going

i will
just
keep
going
