Another year older,
Another month tugging at the heartstrings.
So many emotions.
Happy, worried, sad, anxious, and happy again.
Everyday a toss of the cards.
I avoided the storms,
Wished upon a few stars,
And prayed to God with all might.  
I watched the movie screen and cried at the scenes.
Missed a few people who have gone on,
And looked back at the last few decades.
My life isn’t perfect.
But why would I want it to be.
At least I’m still here.
Just a poem about May, my birthday month. Another decade older. This month has been so full. Holidays, my birthday, storms in my state, and a movie meaning a lot of me being released in theaters.

I have ended wars single handedly,
Brought gods broken to their knees,
And dragged down the very lights
From the gods of Heaven.

But my greatest victory
Was always that I was the fire,
That sparked your brightest smiles.
You know I write my love songs
and my poems
when everything feels wrong
when there's pain
I feel it all
it makes my skin crawl
into a ball of unwritten words
I must let fall onto paper

So I sit here and I feel bad
that every note pad isn't about you
it's about him or her
and love and other blurs
but never about you
and all your hues

I want to explain why
if I may
You and I
Red and purple
passionate and secure
deep and for real
you have never made me feel
pain
never made me kneel
or strain
you have always been
my place
my home
the one who will never roam

I think that's beautiful
but maybe I need to say it more
write about you on the floor
write about our love on every door
but I only seem inspired to write
while crying on the floor

You have never left me bruised
or sore
never left me seeking more
we are together
in perfect harmony
it's never a bore
You and me are
as Taytay said
Forevermore

So I write this poem to you
my best friend
my sister
my soul mate
and my favorite person
I love you
and I think you know
every day with you
to me is like
dancing in the snow
<3
Life has always been lonely for me
Life has always seemed impossible
to breathe
I recall many nights
crying my own body weight
praying to be taken away
Never wanting to be in this place
I've seen torment
I've been torment
I've seen screams
and dying souls
I can never seem to let go
Let go of fear
let go of pain
let go of it all

Though I've tried
many nights off to die
fly straight into the moon
because it's all I knew
The only friend I had
my spirit tortured and twisted
nobody ever around to listen
desiccating into the ground
Never dare to make a sound

Life now can feel similar
The days pass me by
I lay down and I cry
My soul becomes intertwined
with the cruel torment of my mind
How can I leave it all behind?
new fears new screams
I feel my spirit failing
but
I'm not alone
No not anymore

I had the moon before
and this time
I have you
I can't forget
all that you do
it's surreal to believe
but it's amazing to conceive
I have you
and you have me

The world is just as cruel as before
but this time I'm not alone behind closed doors
I have your warmth
I have your love
everyday
in every way
we are
alive and okay
Which is more than I ever used to say

The way you hold me
The way I feel
ethereal
simply under a tree
or my head on your shoulder
It's in the eye of the beholder
and I can't wait to see your beauty
everyday as I get older

When I cry myself to sleep
When I get sick and only weep
I used to be crawling within me
and only me
but now there's you
I don't have to come undo
I don't have to talk to the walls

With you I can have it all
all of everything that matters
red and pink color splatters
when the demons come to crawl
I know you'll be there dancing with me
at every ball
at every wedding hall

A dream so surreal
yet here it is
it's real
You and I
Me and you
Life was always gloom
but you bring the sun and the moon
to my bed
and lay me softly to rest
next to you
in your warmth
I'll never come undo
idk
Lately I've been thinking
I've been dying and rotting
and doubting
it all
only knowing the fall
waiting for the plummet

I've begin to question
fate
I've begin to question
life
I've started to ask
why
and doubt in any god above

But right now
when I turn back around
I remember love
You and I have always fit
like a glove
We were two stars from the start
we started to fall
until we ended it all
like a comet hitting the earth
an explosion that couldn't have hurt worse
yet here we are
once more
here you are
at my door

I wasn't sure
yet I knew
You and I
are always true
All the clues
All the signs
The destiny
in our eyes
it truly binds

So as I let a tear fall
remembering it all
the rise and fall
and rise again
I wonder my dear old friend
How can I ever begin to question fate?
Question love and destiny?
When life has blessed me
and you
so heavenly

I sensed it
I saw it
in the snow
in the leaves
in the cold dewy breeze
you and me
a string of destiny
Do you feel it?
it's meant to be
Bananas and gorillas
noodles and oodles
96 and Brian
your shoulder to cry on
Laughter and hope
adventure and road trips
nothing could ever loosen this grip

Grand theft auto
and the prom
The way you know my mom
The stars at Findley
Life has giving me plenty
to see
looking up at you
at the gas station parking lot
in my heart I remember
In my heart
In my soul
I knew
It's me and you
and nothing can undo
or break
the connection
the string
our destiny
together

I can feel it in every weather
You and I
in a castle
in the middle of the road
You and I
are what keeps me getting by
and remembering

Life is dark
life is gloom
but destiny is real
and fate is too
God has spoken
and God has given
a wonderful gift
of
Me and you
I haven't wrote in forever so this may be...terrible bahah

Scotland, a place I call my own,
With rolling hills where wild winds have blown,
Misty mornings in a gentle embrace,
In every corner, I find a trace.

Blue blood runs through these ancient lands,
Proudly we stand with our clan’s strong hands,
In tartan wraps and with bagpipes tune,
Under the watch of a silver moon.

The thistle blooms where the brave hearts tread,
With stories of heroes long since fled,
Breathtaking scenery, a painter’s dream,
In every valley, a soft, silent scream.

No Scotland, no party, the saying rings clear,
For joy is a treasure when friends gather near,
With laughter and warmth, our spirits entwine,
In the heart of this land, where stars brightly shine.

The echoes of laughter on cobblestone streets,
In pubs filled with love, where friendships complete,
Each stranger a Neighbour, each smile a grace,
In the heart of this kingdom, I’ve found my place.

From Highland to Lowland, the beauty astounds,
In forests and glens where the spirit surrounds,
The history whispers in the winds that do wail,
In every stone’s story, a rustic tale.

Oh Scotland, my heart beats in rhythm with thee,
In every sunrise, I feel wild and free,
A land of deep roots, where my soul finds it way,
In this tapestry woven, I'll forever stay.

So raise up your glass to the hills and the skies,
To friendships that flourish and never say goodbyes,
For in this embrace, I am never alone,
In Scotland, the place I proudly call home.

I don't even know what to say,
Being this happy,
feels like a fever dream,
like I could do anything.

I feel like I deserve to live,
to do things,
to even have fun.

You don't know what you've done,
just by being in my life.
You've done more than make me feel human.
You make me feel relaxed,
beautiful,
and this feeling,
of heavenly happiness.
I never want it to go away.
I feel so happy and free I can't even describe it. So, if you understand this, I'm happy for you <3

I didn’t know how much I wanted to be a mother,
Until I met the man who would be a fantastic father.

Now I’m waiting for you little one to bring meaning to my life.

In my most vulnerable time

I must have pretended that I was in the know.

Like I’d have the power to decide, if I was a mistake that God “forgot”.

God never forgets or makes mistakes.

God is bigger than my decisions and thoughts.


I am…

good at my job

really funny

empathic and kind to a fault, though working on limits

a real fighter and I learn from experience


I do matter and I am awesome.

That is a statement given to me from me.

And that’s not something I’ve been able to easily say or write before

It was an unthinkable thought,
a word I wasn’t worthy to feel or say.
But I do have worth in this world.


Now.. (This is more a reminder to myself)

Having a more healthy mind doesn't mean I have to always be happy or live perfectly.

It just means that I can handle situations and feelings a bit more easily and my lows will hopefully not be as low as before.


Love, Me
Progress
