Inspiration is the fire we need
To keep our inner candles burning
And our passion flowing
It is the one that motives us to act
Without shame being allowed to hover over us
With it all judgments turn into ashes
Live to inspire and aspire others

We’re all heroes

In the stories
We write
You

What if silence is
Worthwhile?
Understood?
The only truth?
One can
Offer

braving the tempest
hope plunges on; horizon guides;
their lighthouse signals dawn

-----------------------------------------------------------­---------

your compass guides
across uncharted terrains;
your light leads the way.
And perhaps it's because you're gone

that I'm made of stronger stuff

than I was before.
You left, and I grew stronger. I don't need you anymore.

My trust was broken along with my heart,
My lust is no more as I accepted being apart,
My mind longs that I could go back to the start,
I think back to the day that we were done, and I depart.
Time was needed for me to feel whole,
Whereas you moved on quickly just to patch up your soul,
As calm as I acted you could never know,
How much you hurt me alas I could never show,
Bottled it up and my emotions I let float,
For I couldn't shut down I just had to cope,
Despite days I spent thinking of my neck tangled in rope.

I had to be strong and I forced myself through,
And to myself I had to be true,
I could never drop to your level as a cheater and lie,
Therefore creating a barrier that you tried to deny,
I held myself high and I worked out my way,
I created a life and my health was sustained.
My life was worth more than being destroyed by you,
I'm still proud in knowing my soul and love is true.

just be the person who cares more.
be the person who tries harder, loves
stronger and gives more than all
half-alive people who surround them.

be the person who answers their
messages,  shows up with commitment
and doesn't leave others hanging
or guessing at their eternally
vague intentions.
be the person you wish you
were dating.

if you're sick of the game
then stop playing it.
if you're tired of ******* , then cut it.
because the last thing this world needs
is one more indifferent person.
if you're the only one left with
passion, then use it.
use the hell out of it.

at the end of your life, go out with a
bruised-up worn out heart that gave
too much and love too strongly and
felt too fiercely.
go out with the certainty that you gave
it everything that you had and didn't
hold anything back.
go out empty-handed when it comes to
should-haves and might-have-beens.
because it's an infinitely more fulfilling
way to live than the alternative.

it will always be more honourable to be
out on the field getting trampled on than
to be on the sidelines feeling superior
for never having tried.
be the person !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live and breathe no regrets,
Even for the actions for where I hesitate.
Even for the moments a conclusion seems so distant.
I accept no regrets as my actions and my thoughts define me,
For I can only learn by my wrong doings,
For I am only strong by moving past my mistakes.
I accept no regrets as my choices birthed my morality.
And in turn arose my consciousness and with them my identity.
For I am the embodiment of regret,
Not in the sense it consumes me,
On the contrary that I consume regret,
That I can only develop through this sickening sixth sense and awaken in a new light, battered yet learnt.
As damage envisions my strength.
I know in my heart
We're here to grow
Become like stars
Shine with a benevolent glow

Light up a life
Show love to someone
Keep in mind
It's a job never done

The more you shine
The brighter we get
Let happiness reign
Keep your torch lit
