I learn how to love my feet that walk on new lands,
I learn how to love my voice that reaches untouched notes,
I learn how to listen to my heart that is no longer a servant of the mind
I learn how to love myself as I am ...

Acceptance is the most beautiful way of healing,
when butterflies count the seconds and you give up counting the years,
unheard music embraces the rebellious soul,
the sky flows smoothly, the clouds kiss the living land,
love vapors hug the proud grass
which is dancing fulfilled a dance of peace,
and I learn to live in the now.
I am still learning how to love myself and I think that we all are:)

There’s a girl
Sitting all alone
She looks so sad
There on her phone

But If someone walks up
She quickly puts on a mask
She won’t let anyone
Take on the task

Of becoming her friend
She won’t let them get close
She protects her fragile heart
From those who love it most

She says she doesn’t need them
She’s fine by herself
Her need for company
Is tucked away on a shelf

I see this girl everyday
I wish I could assist
Let her know her company
Is definitely missed

But when I look into the mirror
And try to tell myself what’s right
I never really listen
And I go on with my life
I promise I’m not this set in my ways. I’m trying to spend less time alone. Hope y’all enjoy.

I will likely die by 25
A slave to my vice.

But at least I will go
At the foot of the throne
Where I learned
What it means
To worship.

When you left

You taught me
To only love men
who do not know of all the ways a heart can be shape shifted into broken

If someone has broken your heart
Don't let them rob you of the pieces
Holding a grudge against them or
not letting go of the wrong they did you
Is you literally handing them
the pieces of your broken heart
It's okay to feel pained, it's fine to cry but
Don't let them deposit hate in you
(I know it's easier said than done but)
Let go...
Rebuild the broken pieces like a puzzle
Build something even more beautiful
'cause the loss is theirs and not yours
Don't let them bring you down, stand TALL
Above all, protect your joy and happiness!
Forgive, forget, learn, move on, be better

Why?!
My words seem to hurt you.
when I mean them the most.
My feelings desert you,
As if I were a ghost!?
But I didn't haunt you,
when you were at your lowest?!
So why do you desert me,
when I need you the most?
Why do you perceive me,
as a poltergeist??
I'm not here to haunt you,
Only to exchange advice!!
We are both here to learn,
And gain from experience.
So why do you place me,
In the category, of delerience??
You don't seem to hear me,
Or maybe you don't want to??
I suppose that denial is easier,
than dealing with what you don't want to??
But that does not make it fair,
Because I think I get you...?!
Maybe I understand.. .,
The things that upset you.
But what if I don't??
Can we still work through this??
Can we work as a team,
to try and distill this?
That's what I want, and that's what I need.
I yearn for someone, who's not afraid to bleed!!
For something that's special,
For something that means,
For something that's more than just someone that needs!!
For someone to want me,
like I want them!
for someone to see a future,
before they see an end!
All I want, Is something that's real!
something that makes me,
and you, really feel!
I think I've found it, inside of you?
But please don't be scared,
if you feel it too.
Just embrace it,
And endulge in it too.
And enjoy it as much,
As I enjoy you!!
Tiny bit tipsy.
Big conversation tonight.
Neither will remember tomorrow.
Thank **** for poetry!!

We didn't have conversations about feelings.
It's just the way it was.
We would hold and withhold,
repress instead of express.
It's just the way we thought it had to be.
But things are different now.
And we're all trying to learn so we don't
implode.

Some lessons you can’t learn
From reading a book
From listening to others
You have to learn them
For yourself
And You knew that
Which is why
When I begged You for
Wisdom
Strength
Faith
You answered me
But not with easy gifts
You answered in tests
Because to fight well
I have to train
So You let me go through
Painful
Challenging
Terrifying
Experiences
So that in the end
What I gained
Would hold real value
And all the while You held my hand

I was weak
I was so afraid
I let it break me
It tore me
Into a million pieces
But here I am
Trying to put them back
And realizing
That they’re not the same
As they were before it all
I’ve changed
My weakness
My brokenness
Taught me
Molded me
Into something
Better
Braver
Stronger
