That is what it is like
when somebody loves you
more than you love yourself.
You find you're loving them,
and in loving you trust,
both them and their judgment.

If he loves me for me,
and I love and trust him,
then I should love myself
just the way that I am.


and

I want to be the one
he is deserving of,
and I want to become
the best version of me.


and

It's not just for his sake
that I want to improve.
I'll grow and change for him,
but also for myself.


That is what it is like.

Be quiet maybe smart
but no

Truly how far are
are you going to go

With your voice unheard
just knowing your opinion
is not being heard

So although most are quiet
in the response, but if you are silent

You give them the power, and that's
on you cause you have the power

It's just you gave up when the work
get's tuff

So you may be thinking to be
quiet it the best

But it's only letting other
stop you from your goal in life
Just speak voice your side of anything cause your story is worth the time

You there,
I love you.
You are so sweet,
I admire you.
You are so sharp,
I like you.
You look less cute now,
But I bet you were the cutest child.
I love talking to myself,
This was about the kid in me.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..
That's only skin deep though,
what's a common rock to someone,
is another's treasure.

Beauty is the light that shines when you talk, when you walk,
when you do what you love.
Beauty is the way you express yourself,
beauty is loving and accepting yourself
for who you are
and making the best version out of yourself.

Beauty is self love,
self care,
self discipline,
beauty is self respect,
self worth,
self improvement,
beauty is good manners and behavior,
beauty is your hungry mind,
your loving energy,
beauty is the way you view the world,
beauty is knowing when you're wrong
and knowing when you're right,
beauty is honesty,
beauty is humbleness,
beauty is authenticity.

Beauty isn't just one certain type,
beauty is the diversity in mankind.
Beauty is so much more than
just a canvas to change colors and fabric on. Beauty is meaningless if it's just an empty shell. A shell found on the beach is beautiful;

because it holds something precious inside.

I will remain Humble. Even though it hurts immensely, knowing...

I have provided to feed more mouths, that had turns of good and bad stuff to share about me.

You ever been in a situation, where your you took the shirt off your own back

to prevent the other from freezing or burning their buns off.

Removed more knives, from my back and fought my demons to the death.

Careless, to the ability if it chose to respawn or not.

I on the other hand.....

Deciding not to emotionally, respond to the negative energy. Continue to do what is required.

Hatred does not give me what is helpful to my living purpose.

Stronger and wiser I will become.

I will remain
Strong For You.

it took her months to come to this realization
but one day it just hit her, and it hit her like a brick
that even if he did come back as a new, changed person
nothing could ever repair the damage he's caused
and at that moment she knew nothing would ever be the same again
i don't want to go back to overthinking, and changing my entire personality to the watered down version of it - all for what? just so you could stay? just so a silly boy like you could "approve" of me? i'm better than that. this time i'm choosing me.. except i say this yet you're still in the back of my head. but i'm coming to terms with this thought i've had today, i'll get over you eventually.

if i could go back to that day…. i would
not to captive your smile or remember what you first said to me
by now you’re dead to me
if i could go back, i would hold the hands of time tight
memorize each tick
expose some more light
i would look you in the eyes with your hands ready to receive
and ignore your existence
possibly make you bleed
i can just imagine how free i would be
if i could go back i would’ve never given you the time of day
i gave it like a gift so freely and without dismay
i wish i could go back and ****** it from your hands
my heart, my time and everything in between which continued to stand
someday my heart won’t feel so heavy from regret
everyday it feels like a reset
metamorphosis amongst the pain
i’m keeping sunshine on my brain
i take everything in stride cause it’ll come full circle
someday that love i gave will come back
i find my peace in that
Stop.

Calm.

Exhale.

clear your mind.

breath in.

and out.

This world
is kind.


You will be fine.

You're doing great.

inhale.

exhale.

four - seven - eight.


Now hug yourself
and softly smile.

or cry a little.

breathe for a while.


accept

and calm.

see what is there:
your favourite place
you've built with care?

strong growing plants,
delicious tea?

a patch of sunlight,
warm, gentle sea?

inhale... and listen
for a while.


it all will pass.

and all be fine.


I hope that whatever stressful situation you might be dealing with, you will always have strength to find quality time for yourself.
For those who might not know, 4 7 8 is a wonderful breathing technique for calming anxiety.

Heard a strange whisper that alarmed danger;
Felt a soft touch on my soul, delicate as a lion’s whisker;
Awakened, my eyes loaded with eager;
My compressed heart felt like coal,
Like a diamond, I saw a bright light midst the dark lonely lane;
The agitated silence tickled me; my memories sunk deep;
Trapped in the silence of fear, the fear of rewind sorrow;
Sweat dripped down my frozen feet, tears rolled down my pale cheek,
My dried lips trembled to speak …………
But the sudden roar of my voice,
Like thunder, shattered the silence of the darkest alley;
The glee stars shone, as if I found the spotlight;
Realised, I am the diamond, got to glow up to light up the dark.
Levitating my spirit, reached the end,
But started again, and marched towards the infinity;
My hopes and fears reached a tie, tackled to break the knot;
Bravely, pushed past all the breaking points,
Stood up on my feet, brushing off all the dust;
Knocked the door, broke the insane wall;
Mirrored, vibing to the drizzling pride of discovering the light within.
Its a free verse poem of finding happiness within us instead of depending on external forces.

Tears falling from the eyes
Heavy sigh that comes from the mouth
Eyebrows trying to meet each other
Nose shining through the redness
I remind myself,
It's a beautiful phase
:)
