It's fine to ask for more
when you have nothing to lose.

I’m waiting for the moment
When I finally feel free

Free from the judgments
Free from my past
Free from my self-imposed
      limitations

Deep in my heart
I know
That moment is now
I love how some of my poems just come out of nothing. I often write after I finish journaling in the morning. This day I journaled about a lot of things. And then, I wrote this poem, which was unrelated to anything I had written.

the only you cannot control,
the only you cannot buy
and if I am with you
I have chosen to stay with you.
I decided my time was so precious
as much as you are for me.
Even if I am tired.
Even if I am sleepy
I don't know how much this thing will last for.
I only know I am here, now
and it is the only moment that care, now.

When everyone is going forward

If
If I’d ever dared to fly
I wouldn’t be here now with you.
If I hadn’t turned a blind eye
We might have parted ways long ago.

as I was creating the walls around me,
discovering, yet conjuring, what lies round each corner.
Shadows flicker across my face,
and it is fear holding out the light
that blinds me,
reverberating through silence,
deafening,
carving characters of insecurities
into dancing silhouettes.

I had that dream again where the window was wiped clean of it's view.
Dreaming is freedom
as defined by our own limits.

Taking strides, our eyes meet in a smile.
Him, pulling my hair, our bodies rolling, falling into each others spaces,
searching out the limits.
And I was anticipated for                                            
like in all my dreams.
Now, he's standing in my way, holding eternity
and I'm just a different colour,
the wrong colour.
He reaches out to me, to offer me this moment,
the only one in which anything can be done
And I...

What are your dreams?
