there are storms raging
in the quiet of my eyes
wind is gathering
the pause before the rain falls
a solemn prayer to find peace
Struggling today with my depression. I have a lot of negativity and bad circumstances surrounding me that are out of my control. But still I am never void of hope. I will continuing fighting and journey on.
her cotton mouth heart
parched and dry as the desert
thirsting to be loved
How this sadness hangs
a weeping willow tree
in the silence
a heavy burden lingers
waiting to be lifted

dark skies
moonlight embedded in my skin
pulls close
my paper thin heart
whispering softly

"let the light in
don't lose hope
in your dreams"

As the stars weep light
I catch their tears in my eyes
hope for the weary

And in the space
between the mountain of trees
beyond hopeless reality
upon the softest clouds
I lay to rest the dreams I dare to reach
The heart is sore
but singing...
and in its song
hope breathes

a stubborn will
like weeping willows
bending but not breaking
It beats on...

Against the light of the sun
The glow of the moon
from the soft of the dirt
amist the filth of the earth
I burst through

Through concrete walls,
of aching scars
unable to to stop this beating heart
I break through it all

I remove the weeds
I make room
For all the beautiful
flowers
that have yet to bloom
My family is going through a lot right now, but I believe that in the end we will prevail, hope is enduring and faith the substance of things hoped for, unseen but soon to be seen; made plain. Strength results from all hardship. Doesnt mean the process doesn't hurt but that it often will not **** us. We all experience pains (it is universal), there may be different causes but it feels the same. In this we can empathize with one another and be compassionate; loving. If you are facing a difficult situation or are experiencing pain, I wish you to be well soon. Know you are loved and supported, carried in the heart of a stranger; someone who cares.
We shine
of fires unseen
the soul of the moon
burns within
reflecting hope
bright enough
to eclipse all darkness

It is a hard road
to wisdom
experience
is a brutal teacher
but we live
and we learn
emerge stronger
than we ever thought
we could be
The world seems so loud, and all my dreams seem to be looking down on me from thought bubbles, unattainable clouds. Yet I still dream aloud. Praying that God hear me somehow, looks down and sees these fields I plow, and know that im ready for the harvest.
This was inspired by something my dad said to me..."If I'm in a wait, its because the seeds I've planted are still growing. And the more I keep sowing, the more I can expect to reap. But much like the farmer though the transition remains unseen to me, I must wait patiently for the harvest."
My heart's a well.
I find it is well
whenever it is filled,
with love.
It feels loved,
whenever I'm with you,
I belong....With you...I am home.
Its simple math.  We add up; we make better sense together.
I have these days
when the light seems far away;
the sun dissolving into a spec of dust.

The silence screams
with such immense intensity
I fear I've gone deaf.

But though the light is far
I still see it, feel it even;
the essence of hope, a thin crease spreading through me.

And I live.
I live!
Everyday I wake up and choose to get up despite how bad I may feel, I win that day; I am one step closer to overcoming. Half the battle is getting up.
no became yes
transition from negative to positive
self-acceptance
Ten word story.
Sinking roots nobody sees
trapped within a barren field
a flower struggles to breathe.

She fights to grow
hopes to heal
one day she will....

For she is the blossoming flower,
as fragile as the paper
to which she writes her soul,

yet just as strong
as the heart
that frames each poem.
Im still healing from all the wounds inflicted by an insecure girl, but each day I water the seed of love within me, the more I grow into the confident woman I was always suppose to be.
