If your words can touch,
save,
comfort,
or
make someone,
just
one person
do or be better,
feel or understand more,
open up,
trust,
relax,
love,
feel less alone,
even just a little...
Than that's all that really counts.
If you could change just one life...
Do it.
Speak out.
Share.
Just, DO it!
Your voice,
could very well,
be
the one
that
others
desperately
need to hear.

The message is in the poem.
Speak out. Maybe save someone.

b-r-o-k-e-n heart

I climbed out of this trench,
That was as deep as six feet,
When I realized that a broken heart,
Still manages to carry a beat.

Doors

Sometimes,
when certain doors close
and other doors open,
we have to
take a big breath
before forcing ourselves
to walk through them.

There will always be another door, but sometimes they're not all that easy to step through.

...

It's all so tiring.

So much going on in life.

The Different Princess.

She was a different type of princess.
For all her monsters were inside her mind.
And no charming
was brave enough
to face those beasts.
So,
she had to teach herself,
that, "being saved"
started when
you began
finally
*loving
yourself

I love reading fairy tales. However, sometimes we need to learn that it's not always prince charming who can save us. Sometimes it's ourselves.

Courage to Speak

The only part of my day
That I look forward to
Is when I go to bed
And lay there making up scenarios
In my head.

I think of comebacks
To 8th grade bullies.
I think of witty retorts
To my mother's snide comments.
I think of intelligent things to add
To conversations I had months ago.

I think of all the things
I was too scared to say.

And in my mind
I say them.
And pretend how things would be different
If only I had the courage to speak.
