It's not about the past
Marie-Lyne Nov 2017
It’s not about the past
nor about your future
Why do we like to torture ourselves?
Is pain the only thing you can feel?
Is absence the only kind of love you know?
Are you telling me that you don’t love your present?
What do you want?
Is this the life you’ve always imagined?
We are human beings and we are melancholic
We are dark souls
But what if
You decided to change
Do you need time to think about that?

I believe in beginnings
Marie-Lyne May 2018
I left
So you'll grow outside of me
I came back to see what remained of our flame

Isn't it always like that?
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Most of the times
We love people
Not because they complete us
But because
They give us a reason to live

Unapologetic
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
some people surround us
with all the negativity in the world
and then they ask us
why did we leave
106 · Sep 2018
Wordless
Marie-Lyne Sep 2018
Heal me
without judgement
Help me
without my notice
For whenever we put labels on necessities
they lose their meaning and their credibility

Freud and Me
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
The unconscious
Made the human mind
Doubtful and uncertain
105 · Dec 2020
hope...
Marie-Lyne Dec 2020
It’s been a rough year
for all of us
But we have survived
We made it through tough times
We did our best to protect ourselves
We enjoyed small little outings
We walked a lot
We talked on the phone a lot
We discussed
our fears
our worries
our sufferings
What made us sad
But still
We handled it
We continued living
Were are still breathing
We are talking taking care of our souls
of our bodies
All of this has the power
to makes us feel better
to accept
ourselves as human beings
affected by the outside world

Télépathie
Marie-Lyne Jul 2020
I was always fascinated with words
The way they could change you
And let you see other people
In ways you never thought were possible

There's a difference

liking them

Letting go
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
Letting go
of everything
that stops me
from being free
Letting go
of what anchors me
to the ground
Letting go
of what strangles me
Yes, letting go
of the person
that I wasn't able
to give up on
for years
103 · May 2018
Do not
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Do not be judgmental
Do not ask ask me questions
I can't give you explanations
That's what I told my inner self
Everytime i did something wrong and unpleasant
Marie-Lyne Apr 2018
I'm torn between what I want and what I need to do
I'm torn between allowing myself to feel something for someone or spending a lifetime not admitting it
I'm torn between my distant country and the new city that I live in
And all these things
that I can't control
are making me go mad
This uncertainty is killing me
I'm tired of all this mess
This modern world is nothing but
a series of routines that are repeated
Like a tv show that you're not able
to stop watching
Full of silences in the metro when
you can't stop thinking about every single thing
102 · Jun 2018
What tonight felt like
Marie-Lyne Jun 2018
I can't convince myself
That I need someone in order to maybe feel complete
I can't accept the fact
That to love people
Is to accept their messy world
To deal with their problems
Is it too complicated
Or is it the wrong person?
102 · Dec 2018
Healing takes time
Marie-Lyne Dec 2018
I’m sorry that sometimes
I don’t know how to stand beside you
Comfort you in the correct way
I try my best to motivate you
But things don’t always work
I know that you are suffering
You’re making efforts
And I’m certain that what you’re passing through
Is really hard
I can never deny that
But I’m sure you’ll get better
It takes time, energy and patience

WiFi
Marie-Lyne Dec 2020
In the middle of a pandemic
Home is the place where we connect
To a social platform
in order to survive

That change let us lose parts of ourselves

La vérité
Marie-Lyne Dec 2017
What you keep inside
matters the most...
100 · Nov 2018
Do whatever you want
Marie-Lyne Nov 2018
Focus on yourself
Sometimes you have to
be arrogant
even narcissistic
Feel angry
For god's sake
become a rebel soul
You deserve everything
honey
you're breathing
do whatever you
want with your life

Connection
Marie-Lyne Jul 2018
I want to sit in front of a computer
While you sit next to yours
Face to face
And our connection could be felt
through our screens touching

Can you not get mad at yourself
For overreacting?

We are always afraid
Of people leaving us
Without notice

Run
Marie-Lyne Jan 2019
Run
What are we running after?
Is it love?
Finding destiny?
Or are we just running to get into the torrent of life?
To keep moving just like everybody else
Because moving fast
Has become the new motto
Waking up everyday
Doing the same routine
Without ever stopping
As if taking some time to rest is a sin
Being unable to catch up with the speed
Is okay is totally human
Take your time
To discover yourself before others
Do not follow what others are doing

Do not conform
to a world
that constantly tries
to define you,
by your age,
your level of education,
your earnings,
and where you come from
Marie-Lyne Jan 2019
I am afraid to start again
What if I am not enough
What if I fail
What will happen then

We need time to recover
To start again
Healing will happen to you
Just be patient with yourself

If we share the same weather
Would I feel more close to you?

Rebel?
Marie-Lyne Jul 2018
We are slaves
Constantly waiting for
Our masters to save us
We are prisonners
Unable to breath
Correctly
We are rebels
not knowing
If we want to be free
Or angry

He only said
I wanna know you better
And that’s how it all started

What his picture told me
Marie-Lyne May 2018
There was something peaceful in his gaze
Like somehow he has figured out his whole life
And I didn't want to disrupt this
For he seemed happy

Give a voice
to all the thoughts
that speak in your mind
Marie-Lyne Nov 2020
I want to be a tree
So I can plant my roots
Take care of my surroundings
And let things grow on me

Marie-Lyne Jan 2020

If we can’t change a situation
That bothers us and sent us into despair
How about looking at it differently?
No matter how hard this task may seem
Marie-Lyne May 2018
Some people leave
because they gave us
everything we need
in order to continue
our path in life

The alternative ending
Marie-Lyne Jul 2018
He walked
not knowing
that I observed him
from my car

That's how
everything
returned back
to its place
I have healed
myself from you
And that's how all human
existence has moved on

You can do it
Despite all the negative thoughts

Do not give up

Misery?
Marie-Lyne Aug 2018
Missing someone so much
You don't want to talk to them
Nor hear their voices

Dans un parc à Montreal
Marie-Lyne Oct 2020
I wanted nature
The trees
The leaves
The fresh air
The grass
To integrate my soul
So I could close my eyes
And experience serenity

Writing

Marie-Lyne Dec 2018
There will come a time
When we will be separate from each other
And it will feel weird at first
But it’s okay
Nothing should last
Everything should be transformed
People
Situations
Places
Accept the fact that change is beneficial
No matter how much you crave stability
92 · Dec 2020
Before the new year
Marie-Lyne Dec 2020
Are you happy?
Do you have thoughts that constantly live in your mind?
What do you want to change?
What inspires you?
What makes you grateful?
Who supports you when you feel down?
Who gives you hope?
Do you believe in a greater power?
