my past lies behind me
like the hairs that are tangled
into a bun resting on the back of my neck
like the world that dangles in my rear view mirror of my vintage
car with the torn seats
it comes to me daily
in everything i do
its there
it always will be there
but my future reminds me as its gushing through my windshield onto my face
its making my long brunette waves shimmer
and my olive skin glow
that something brighter is ahead

And then he asked "but, how do you still find your smile when such dreaded things have happened?"



"Darling, a tear wont change my past, but my smile can mould my future"

Thank you.
I'll never forget the times you made me laugh and especially the times you made me cry.
I hold our memories close, the good and the bad,
the truth and definitely the lies.
Thank you for leaving me.
Thank you for the wake up call I needed to get my life together.
I wasn't perfect, you weren't either.
We were toxic, as most lovers who aren't ready for each other yet are.
That's okay. It's okay. I'm okay.
I'm better now than I've ever been before, and I owe a lot of that to you.
You pointed out my flaws and let me know the truth.
It may have hurt at the time, but now I know I eternally thank you.
I'm finally happy. With myself. With my life.
I can look at the mirror and say, "Hey, I love you."
I can wake up in the morning and actually leave my bed.
Life got harder when you first left, but it's easier than ever now.
You made me into the person I always needed to be.
Maybe it was too late for you, too late for us. But it was never too late for me.
To the boy who broke my heart, I have extreme gratitude. I could never and would never hate you or speak ill of your name.
You saved my life.
And I wish you the best.
Thank you.
Signed the girl who found herself because she lost you.
A poem I wrote after hearing soul crushing news.

you told me that time heals,
i'm glad that you were right.
i found someone greater,
who is now my light.

thank you for making the decision.
your mind was quick to change,
i really admire your precision

you told me that it would be better,
that what we once had wouldn't matter.
you told me that i would get over it,
that i would meet someone that would fit.

you said all these things when we were done,
i'm now glad that you are gone.
a little something about finding new love

They say count your blessings when you are in a moment of uncertainty,
I bury my head in those moments of anxiety,
Again and again,
Unable to comprehend or justify my capability to get through this,
Tackling to appreciate what is in front of me,
Grinding through this belly ache,
Doubts are swirling in my stomach,
Palms are continually sweaty,
I strive to keep my calm,
Feeling disarmed and un-steady,
I keep telling myself this will be a positive change

and in those moments where the sun is setting
and the house lulls to a soft quiet
and your body falls back into the numbness,
may you know that you will always have you.
your grace,
your compassion,
your warmth,
these parts can never be taken away;
no matter how much the pain and longing
tries to dim everything into a moonless black,
you will always have you.

Those who tried to claim me
Were unable to tame me
They stopped to blame me
Then started to maim me
Ever caught the wind, have you?

I care not for our defaults
I care not for societal norms
I wouldn't dabble in white lies
But take the bull by its horns
Did I break your rules, too?

A free soul cannot be caged so easily
They say I'm alone, but
I know there are more of me
Our love of freedom unites us
Soul siblings from green Mother Earth
They are too set in their own ways
To observe the world as I do
They desire a mirror, and me a window
Non conforming rebels unite!
Apologies for the rhyming pattern, it became a free for all :(

When she was 7
She believed in a heaven
She believed in a God
When she was 8
She was oh so great
Her destiny was a date
When she was 9
Oh she flew so high
Mother so proud
Thought she would never fall down
When she was 10
She started to lose some things
Tantrums over and over again
Light starting to dull every night
When she was 11
She wanted to go to heaven
There was no light left in her eyes
All she wanted to do was say goodbye
A scream and a cry
A shout but her words were as quiet as a mouse
Lie to the doctors
To get out quickly
Despite her mind being so sickly
As she got older
The boulder on her shoulders
Became a little less heavy
She could bare more
Sometimes she'd still cry
But she'd find a way to make herself alright
Though sometimes it's a little difficult
She's 16
And her mind still isn't clean
But will it ever be?
She went through her own little hell
But the bright bell rang
Her strength sang
Though her heart is scarred up
Trust isn't quite there
She'll make it
Through the mean words that little demon puts inside her mind
Prove them all wrong
Cause mama didn't raise someone who would give up
Mama raised a girl who will always find a way
To keep her head up
