O mighty Lord Shiva!
You chose to come to life in Hanuman,
The all powerful life long bachelor
Who set new standards of service.
Hanuman avatar was the ultimate,
Powerful and immortal,
Hanuman still lives in the mountain.
A piece of Hindu mythology and folklore.

Though I am not a religious man, stories and legends of the monkey God never fail to capture my interest.

Strength is the ability to stare fear in the face,
*and smile at it.
I had such an amazing night.

Where did it begin?
Every generation felt an end
Perhaps a decade later
and an end never came still
What if our parents thought they could do what we think too?
Change this world.
It has changed greatly, yes
Teenage Will and Lynn chanting and crying
Fighting for rights and wills
Change is slow out there
But the change in us,
Can never be killed.
(Keep at it.
We'll get to where we dream about )
This is not exactly what I was hoping would come out but it came out so smooth and willingly. I love that happens, so Ima leave it here.

I can only imagine
what it would feel like
to have your lips
touch mine.

Would there be a spark?
A powerful force of the unimaginable
by this interaction,
unfathomable.

Would there be fireworks?
Going off in the background that
some how managed to
start at the right time

Would it make time stop?
Where it's just you and I,
would we notice if we even started to fly?

I don't know what it would be like
but i know there will be no flying
no fireworks at the right time
and definitely your lips would never touch mine

I can only imagine.

Forever wondering how did I end up here
Never realizing the blame is on me
Having no energy to shed these tears
Forever yearning for a better me

Hopeless, where do I begin?
Hopeless, does this ever end?
Hopeless, having love never be enough.
Hopeless, please just don’t give up.

Craving more from this shell of mine.
Can’t seem to push through the fog of a life I have created covered in mixed messages and signals I don’t understand.

Do you get me? Do I like me?
Do you know me, because I can tell you I am a lioness just waiting for life to
release me from its choking grasp.

I am more powerful than you can imagine, I just can’t summon the strength.
My mind bends and moves over a plane that you don’t see.
You ask how can this be? And I would say you truly don’t know me.

Why do I try to hide… It’s because YOU can’t handle my power inside.
You can’t feel what I feel. You can’t handle this burden.
When will this burden truly be a gift?
I know there is potential in every piece of me
But potential without energy is just unmoving power
And unmoving power is nothing.
Why have I been blessed with this gift,
This gift to see and feel everything you don’t.
You don’t know me, no one does.
I show you a glimpse of me and you cringe and curl away.
I am more valuable than you think.
This world cannot handle me.
I hide myself because you can’t understand the strength and love flowing through me.
I want to be Free, Please let me just be me.

I will never give up on you.
No matter how hard the tide pushes,
no matter how strong the wind may blow,
I will stand with you,
strong and tall.
You,
are afraid and brave.
I,
am terrified and resilient.
Together,
we are in love.
Together,
we will overcome.
Together,
we are one.
Nor hell or high water,
will tear us apart.

Communication isn't just about words, however, words are extremely powerful❤

It feels like it's going to be the same, Self
You're never going to get through to him, Self
Your world is different from his and that's okay, Self
I understand you want him all the time, Self
But we don't always get what we want, Self
Sometimes we have to dig deeper into our souls to figure out what we need in order to feed ourselves, Self
You're strong and lonely, but smart as hell, Self
Your words always dance to the beats of those who read the poems you write, Self
It takes them on a journey, somewhere far away, Self
They imagine different galaxies full of shooting stars and suns blowing up into colorful nebulas, Self
You're so ******* creative and I don't clap for all the poems you've written over the years, Self
But God, am I proud to call you my own, Self
There's so much you need, Self
And I can't just allow anyone to show up and put you on a leash, Self
You're not some dog, waiting to be steered, Self
You're a powerful woman, ready to dominate the world, Self
They need to reach your standards even if it means climbing to the 100th floor, Self
You are not easy and you can't expect to find The One just like that.
You are not easy and you can't allow yourself to just stumble through life, without some rocks to tremble you
How can you learn when all you do is cruise on these Streets without a crack along the way?
Self, I know life doesn't hand out lessons free of charge
I know that all you want to do is runaway into the depths of some forest and just lose yourself but you have to make sure you're always thankful for what you're handed
You have become more of yourself now, than you have the past few years
Self, I'm proud of how far you've come
I love you, wholeheartedly
Scars and all
Wants and needs
I love you for all that you are
Sometimes, when I feel like I'm not getting much done and I'm overthinking, I write letters to myself (addressed as self). This was my latest one!
You may not approve
of what I do,
My words may not
Seem perfect to you.
But trust me
I do feel the same.
Being perfect was never my aim.
I WRITE TO— CONCEAL EMOTIONS NOT TO ATTRACT FAME.
My simple thoughts....

Whispering Shadows
Looming behind every corner,
Deadly Creatures
Waiting within.

Rivers of Blood
Flowing across wooden floors,
Forgotten Memories
Coming near.

Radiating Darkness
You are it's source.
Deadly Wishes
Seeking escape.

Excruciating Pain
Maintaining your sanity,
While Damning Forces
Battle within
