Girl, just find yourself
And be your own sunshine
Be that positive motivating force
In order to keep everything in line
Rise above those obstacles
That simply weigh you down
Let no one dull your sparkle
Lift yourself and adjust that crown
Megan Jul 2019
I've always had a soft heart.
People often find ways to use it
against me, but still, I stay soft.
They say it's a weakness, to care.
I say it's a strength.
To stay caring about everything in
a world where it's far too easy to
close up, turn your walls into
brick and never let anyone in.
My softness is not a weakness.
It is the best things about myself.
I whisper into sunflowers and
they grow out of my skin.
I have a garden in my lungs,
blooming under the warmth of
my delicate care.
My softness is what makes me
human, what makes me so
uniquely me.
I don't know who I'd be without it.
My heart on my sleeve is one
thing I carry so proudly,
and **** does it look exquisite on me.

It's as though through letting ideas slip away into nothingness
I've died countless times:
unrealised, unfulfilled, unsatisfied.
Their last scream of agony devoid of substance,
reverberates through me,
Reminding me that
I've neglected to death that which could've filled me.

I sit alone quietly watching,

An ego of sand trickles down
each grain a like on a tweet, a seen video.
Aren't they really smart? The people who make these things?
Promised to make me golden,
And I am, indeed.
Just as cold and saleable as that.

NO no,

I keep trying to claw my way out.
It's taking too long, why isn't it working?
Hands getting weaker?
Nails dulling out?
Or maybe I've never had anything sharp on myself to begin with.

The worst is that I'm not alone in this
And most of you seem content.
Living being made to obey
With grains of dopamine being thrown around
as we dance to catch each in our mouths.
Not much different from these poor animals at the circus.

Let's cut this short.

Aim big and don't expect a praise or prize soon after you start.
People aren't brands and brands aren't people.
Let's learn to enjoy the ride more than the destination.
Good luck, I believe in me,
I believe in you.
Good luck good luck good luck, remember you're a knife that just needs sharpening sometimes.
Have that spark
To educate and motivate
To boost one's spirit
And to enlighten and elevate
Be that mentor to the youth
Show them that they have the fire
Encourage the youth to be better
And to reach even higher
A bouquet from my lips to yours
Dearest David
I am so grateful for your love, understanding
and presence

Life can worldwind by like a hungry vacuum
******* up precious moments we can never restore...

...a dance in the moonlight
with your flushed cheek next to mine....

...Sunrise awe on Beacon Street...

...3 sweet breaths...

Butterfly heart dancing around mine
I Love you my darling
you are a timeless gift from God
Build your strength
And push yourself harder
You have it all in you
Make your vision sharper
Always believe that you can
You are willing and able
Enlighten and empower
Be the one who sets the table
Rise each morning accordingly
And face the day with a smile
Activities await you respectively
New challenges are worthwhile
We open our minds
And learn new information
In order to grow and prosper
Also to enlighten the sensation
I take a breath. Slow and soft.
Clear my head of the past, disregard chances lost.
Focus on what lies ahead, clear all doubt.
Fixated on the here and now, what it's all about.
Eyes forward. Stead...visualize my upcoming victory.
Distractions in the periphery. Clear thoughts of failure or misery.
The trials and tribulations of my life hold no mystery.
Not to be forgotten, made me stronger, just my history.
Now is my moment, my time to shine.
My choices are guided by my heart and my mind.
Trust both to steer me true, faith in my capability.
Now I'm ready to face anything, the future holds endless possibility.
Just keep on trying
You will eventually get there
Continue to make progress
And climb those stairs
Persistence is the key
Rise up through it all
Maintain the effort and energy
Learn to stand up tall
Nothing will be given to you
You must work hard to earn it
Show your valuable good traits
Along with your true grit
Always stay determined
And be a positive influence
Maintain your inner strength
Be persistent with your perseverance
