ok okay
So many people focus on finding love
I'm too busy finding myself

i am so tired
but
everything that
exhausts me
keeps me
awake
at night
having a hard time sleeping

I belong to the far reaching sea,
I will have nothing if it will not have me.
I am born of the froth, and the waves marching strong.
I will die with the salt, and the fish all in throngs.
I have only one truth that I know to be true,
The ocean won’t falter when fickle men do.
Of all of the things I think myself to be,
Of just one I am sure,
I belong to the sea.

One step forward
With Faith
         One step forward
         With Hope
                   One step forward
                   With Love
                            A willingness
                            To Embrace
                                  Peace and Goodwill
                                   Towards all Mankind
I feel so helpless with what’s going on with the wars today, perhaps good thoughts and prayers 10/23

He gave me dead flowers
So I can smell them every day
The rotten petals falling
The color of decay

The washed out sunflower
The dehydrated leaves
The mold on the water
The color of debris

The richly red rose
Now drooping to the floor
The color of love
Existed no more

But still I saved the flowers
And smelled them every day
And watered them with tears
To let them grow again.

I shed tears that you're gone and
every day I smile thinking about you,

And I close my eyes and I see your beautiful smile,

And my heart is empty because you aren't here,

So don't stand at my grave and cry
I am not there and I'm forever inside your heart until the day you die.
Forever In My Heart ❤️❤️❤️

the emptiness of a blank page is my expectation of tomorrow
whether I choose to fill it with joy or sadness is not always up to me but if I colour it with positivity my mind will be free

Stay anonymous
I won't ever be famous
Because all of this
I don't do it for the glory but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be famous for my words...
Falling leaves
on the rhythm of the wind
you fly.
To a place unknown.
Rainy days,
it’s getting colder.
People haste.
Umbrellas are up.
Year is getting older.
Let’s go home.

Yes, december is almost here.
In no time another year passes.
So much happened all over the world.
We are the falling leaves.
