Not a summary
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
One day
a person
will come
and they will
sum up everything
you've been through
in one phrase
But what if
I told you
that all the
little details
cannot be
summarized

Adulthood
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
What if
I wanted to be an adult
But an adult with some human qualities
I don't want to go to work
If I woke up unable to breath, speak or walk
Where's the problem?
If you cried because you can't stand it anymore
Because you've had a tough day
Or because you've suddenly missed all the people that left

If you think you're a strong human being
because you can control your life, your feelings and your problems
Then you're everything but human
Listen to me
I don't want to transform myself into a mechanical process where all the organs of a human being are forgotten

Adulthood is an illusion just like love
Being an adult will not make you braver
You still have all the feelings and the fears of your childhood
But you know how to hide them

A Thank you note
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
Thank you for that person that told me
that I won't make it
that I will fail
You don't even know how much you helped
me challenge myself and work harder
Jul 2017 · 185
Trust me
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
You grow up
when you don't get
sad when something
is bothering you
You just accept it
You even smile
Like there's a voice inside you
more powerful than
the other
Whatever happens
Think of it
as a good thing
And you'll always
feel comfortable
Trust me

Stealing beauty
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
I like movies with no
specific story
where you get lost in its beauty
I like simple scripts
with impossible angles
I like secrets
and sweet encounters
I like pure sensations

How beautiful is it to visit
someone's dream place
How magical is it to smell
the same odors
How sacred is it to see
what was once lost and now found

My version of Rocky
Marie-Lyne Jul 2017
What I want you to do
Is to have a fight with yourself
Convince yourself that you are good enough
That you're better without them
Start somewhere
It doesn't matter if you're slow
Time is not important
But achievements are
Go on
Show me all your strength
Give me all the force that is inside you
You are a fighter because you challenge yourself
You face your fears instead of running away
I want to see that side of yours

Simple
Marie-Lyne Jun 2017
Silence is what we need
eye contact
just happy simple things
and that’s it
That’s the beginning
and the end
of human relations
Marie-Lyne May 2017
Don't make promises
Let the unexpected
Let the days lead you
take you
Don't make plans
Let life integrate you in
its own plan
Don't go around searching for
for a soul similiar to yours
Let the other person's
soul fly to you
As sweet  and tender
as the wind that blows
Don't be afraid
Take your chance
         your shot
Don't hope too much
or think too much
Let everything takes its place
Let everything have the time that it
needs to be accomplished
Don't be stressed, there is
always someone to encourage you
Marie-Lyne May 2017
I will never be your morning coffee that you take everyday
I will never be the same ride that you take everyday to go to work
I will never be the same jacket that you wear when it’s finally autumn
I will never be the same cover that you have on you phone for years
I will never resemble your favourite quotes from a book
I will never be the same meal that you order everytime you go to Mcdonalds
I will never be the same shirt that you wear to watch concerts
I will never let you think that i know you better than you know yourself
I will never fully understand you
I will never say things that i don’t mean

On the contrary
I will tell you everything
But what if you hated someone that is too different from the others
What if you loved the same stuff that people do when they’re in love
What if we became an expectation
But that’s the thing you adored to act like the others
You never felt like you should think differently
and maybe now things are beginning to find their way
Maybe our road is meeting
But trust me there are things that we will always argue about
We don’t like the same things
and we don’t expect the same thing from life
I’m different I know I am

I am an introvert
Marie-Lyne May 2017
I am not a season
you can’t live with me everyday
you can’t  know who I am if you just look outside the window
you can’t know me if you just talked me or saw me
I dont open up easily
It takes time some time
if you dont know me
you can’t make your false first impressions
May 2017 · 216
If only
Marie-Lyne May 2017
If only our story ended there
If only we didn’t talk
If only distance wasn’t our main problem
If only what we had was real
If only you gave me more attention
If only we stayed friends
If only we didn’t tell our feelings
If only

Maybe we weren’t meant to meet
maybe we didn’t know how to love
maybe we were too shy
maybe all of this was just a fantasy
Marie-Lyne Apr 2017
How some people simplify stuff
how they say the right words
the words that fit perfectly
that describe the person in an exact way
I think that they don't know how much they are helping us
how little things lead to big progresses
how words are able to set your mind
how eveything feels right all of a sudden
how you manage your life
how you let people in
and how you let them go
how you feel now
and how you have felt before
How everything is slowing making sense

Yourself
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
To visit yourself
Once in a while
will do you some good
To discover all the things inside of you
To get used to yourself and to help yourself
To get comfortable in your own presence
To find happinness
in your loneliness

Come to me
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
Come swim into my morning coffee
So I could taste you
I could smell you and my soul would awake from its sleep

Come sit in the pocket of my jeans
let me carry you around wherever I go

Come to me
I will hold you in my arms for hours
I will make you feel better

Come, read books with me
listen to my favourite songs

Come, take me to movie theatres
let us escape to an imaginary world

Come, hold my hand
give me strength when I need it the most

Come, look into my eyes
and just smile

Come, sit with me on the roof
Let me tell you all the things
that make me happy

Come, let's take silly pictures
and keep them safe in our memories

Come, we will visit museums together
and stare at random paintings

Come we'll go to toy stores
act like children
and remember ou sily childhood

Come we'll wear fancy clothes
and act like adults

Come without a warning
without a sign
Come to me
Come to my mind

Come whenever you want
Come now, come tomorrow
Come to my dreams
Come everyday
Come once in a week

You
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
You
but right you’re special
but not in positive way
in a negative one
you’re too pessimistic
you worry a lot and you make me sick sometimes
your purity is mixed with messed up thoughts
you know what you want
but you’re not willing to make  an effort to make it work
you love people
but you let them leave
you let them hate you
you hide stuff
you make things harder than they’re really are
you dont want to change
you know its not enough but you dont even fix it
you’re weird
you’re weak
i question myself everyday why i still care about you
but i never found the answer
Mar 2017 · 216
How we
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
But its weird you know?
how we have the power to transform our lives in a second
how we stop thinking about someone that meant a lot to us before
how we stop caring about certain things
how we think differently from the others
how we act with our friends
how we eat when no one is watching
how we watch our favourites songs
how we listen to old songs
how we enjoy the stupidest things
how we live
how we fall
how we rise
how we love
how we cry
how we leave
how we return
how we look back
how we fast forward
and how we rerun

me
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
me
help me
become better
help me
i am fragile as ****
i feel useless
and unwanted
help me
let me talk
i wanna speak about my deepest fears
what makes me wake up in the morning
That strength that i’m given to get up
leave my bed and start a new day
help me organize my thoughts
help me get rid of my unwanted feelings
help me help me
my weakness is growing
and i am trying to destroy it before it destroys me
and i’m left empty on the floor of my bedroom
let me cry hysterically
i need this once in a while
help me stop missing people that aren’t in my life anymore
help me even if i don’t ask you to do it
help me dear whoever you are

Our parents
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
will we ever get rid of our rituals?
can we stop making connections
creating meanings
of the smallest things
can we stop blaming our parents
maybe they aren’t complete
but they took care of us
when we were too small
too naive
and too young
they loved us
more than everything
the love you have for your parents can’t be replaced
that pure love
that divine love
isn’t found in relationships nor marriages
we lost it
and thats okay
you know we are humans
we destroy things
we create chaos
we complicate our daily life
Marie-Lyne Mar 2017
the most beautiful germs are hidden in unknown places
the most beautiful stories are not told
how love sometimes is an obstacle
how jealousy is the real death
how we find peace when knowing that someone share our feelings
how we’re able to identify with a character
how fatal is love
how his flames burn us
somehow to bring us closer to life
how unfair some lives are
the way they are constructed
if only love was that strong
like a ******* disease
like a bullet that could **** you

Some stories are hidden
but how beautiful is it to discover truths about strangers
like somehow they open up our life
our whole life
we change the way we think
we live more
we start to breath again

Let us discover untold stories
let us find what is hidden
let me change my world, my life
to have more knowledge about an unknown writer
how some people’s lives are meant to inspire us to leave everything behind us
leave maps that we constructed
follow unknown roads
I just want to feel
to fall in love with others
to accept myself as a boring human being

Il y a
Marie-Lyne Feb 2017
Il y a des amours
qui sont inoubliables
Il y a des gens
qui ne nous ressemblent pas
Il y a des choses
qu'on ne pourra jamais expliquer
Il y a des films
plus vrais que nos vies
Il y a des soleils
plus froides que la neige
Il y a des places
plus sacrées que l'église
Il y a des sentiments
qui nous brûlent

Strange but beautiful
Marie-Lyne Feb 2017
On strange islands
In strange places
we start to learn about ourselves
when we separate ourselves from the ordinary
we tend to explore our deepest selves
in random, strange faces
we found the faces of the ones that we love and miss
In the snow
we found oursleves thinking about how we tend to change sometimes like seasons
In the clear sky and the clear night
we have this feeling that our minds are expanding
and that our body is not important
we are souls connected to stars
and we are bodies connected to dust
we forget how to close our eyes
and sometimes we forget how to feel
but we are always searching for ourselves
and thats the real purpose of life

Let's go
Marie-Lyne Jan 2017
let's go there where the road is hard
but you’re happy and that's enough
let's open up
let's be free
let us show our soul to the world
let's make things that eliminate  our tensions
let us write to express ourselves
let us run in the wild
let us contemplate nature
let us listen to the sound of the wind
let's go where nothing is usual
where everything is new
where we finally find ourselves
where we’re not shy
where we can say everything
and act as children
and talk like grownups
and think like our grandparents
let's talk about death , about life
about the conscience
about the human behaviour
about sexuality
about kids
about adults
let's sit on the floor
and read books
and listen to loud music
let's tell each other all our secrets
our childish fears
our simplest pleasures
about what makes us happy and sad
i want to take a walk around the world
to see the sun above me
and the sea behind me
let me stare at strange faces
and let me guess about what they’re thinking of
let me hide in a house in a forest
where no one knows me
and i don’t even know myself yet
let me take your hand
and we will face this together
nothing will stop us
and nothing will makes us sad
we have detached ourselves from worries and regrets
we have learned to be thankful
to always believe in a greater power
to know that our road is simple and complicated
to know that the truth is always hidden in the deepest seas
and that lies float at the bottom of the oceans
i want to listen to unknown songs
to read books that people never knew existed
to get to know someone who is talented but not famous
to visit houses
and see what they keep in their bedrooms
what is their vision of life
how they see themselves
i want memories that keep me alive
i want a world that understands
i want people to feel me
to know me
to get to know me
not because i’m special
but because simply i’m like the others

— The End —
