Use

your fear  

to understand

your faults.


Use

your courage
to embrace

them.

The hardest part about life,
is understanding
the essence
of it's simplicity.

Chase what is good,
Overcome your demons.
One by one...
and their voices     will         fade
as if they never existed

So the only thing remaining is
You
and the Truth.

Stand bare,
Stand transparent.
There is courage in humility.

The power in love
is showing less of you
so you can reveal all of them.

Die to self
and simply
Be.

You don't know
you're beautiful
because
he never told you.

You don't know
your words matter
because
he never listened.

You don't know
the strength of your heart
because
he always broke it.

You don't know
you can bloom
because
his words were always a drought.

You don't know
the truth
because
he always lied.

You don't know
because
he never did either,
but i do.

Let me help you find out,
please.

As you enter into those moments
when your trials oppress you
and you slowly feel the life
being drawn from your bones.
Remember,
that even the trees are meant to enter into seasons
where they lose their leaves and stand defenseless
from the harsh winter winds.

But never forget
that there will always come a time
when they'll finally catch their breath,
as the still spring air hugs them,
and begin their journey of growing into
a taller, more confident kind of presence
with deepened roots and a flourishing canopy
that's ready to waltz with the wind.
