Mornings.

I go to the freezer and pick out a waffle

Why are waffles the way they are?

They have craters
They break
And they flake

So I yell

"Why cant you be like the pancake?!"
So full
So soft

"Isnt that what breakfast food is supposed to be?!"

I sit back down

And finish my waffle.
Your scars and uniqueness make you who you are. You dont have to be a pancake to be a great breakfast food!

Lynterns, Be-U-terns....
The endless possibilities of these Lanterns poems, I swear! ^-^
Chasing perfection leads to unhappiness.
There'll only ever be one you, embrace it. ♡
Love you guys!
Thank you!

I have      wierd thoughts      in my head
They ain’t true      but they there
So what do I do?
Lyn-Purcell Jul 2018
There is never
one definitive path to success
because everyone is unique. But I know there is
an inclusive path to failure to which we all of us fall victim

to from time to time

"Who the hell are you kiddin'?"
WHO AM I KIDDING...?
"Why are you bothering?"
WHY AM I BOTHERING?
"You're just a failure! You'll always be a failure!"
I'M...A FAILURE...
"You're not even good at it!"
AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH?

Power without strategy is not different from
ambition without faith

Both are empty
Life ain't easy. The road to success is a rocky one.
Just believe you can do it! As long as you continue to walk down your path with a heart full of belief, you will get where you've always wanted to be!
Thank you guys so much! 113 followers!  T-T
I love you guys, I swear!
Be back soon!

The stupidity of id.


I only dream of what I cannot have.
Wish for this, wish for that,
But if I give you my true opinion,
You will only give it back.


I stand alone amongst the crowd;
I have no way of standing out.
So if you do see me somehow,
Know that soon I will disappear and become invisible,
Like I feel now.


You cannot have my love, because you do not want a nerd.
You can never read my words, because they would not interest you.
You could have said the things I would like to have heard,
But now those lines are through.


Thank you for the inspiration;
I am sorry that I never mentioned,
The truth to you, but it would only ever have caused tension,
Where none ever needed to exist.
Wasted wishes, dreams of fruition,
I am just the stupidity of id.


But now I have regained my senses;
No longer fixated, no words must be wasted,
If I am to head into the future, patiently.
Waiting for the one for whom I have been waiting.


One day she will come and find me, I hope.
Somehow, someway, she will let me know.

I live inside a world
I imagine
But it is real to me

Inside my head is beauty
A life
But people think I'm crazy

A field of green
To escape
The blackness of my days

How long can I stay
In my head
Without anyone noticing?

Is it dangerous that
I consider
Never coming back?

Is it better than
Death
I wonder.

let me grow among the wildflowers
let me bust through the pavement
and grow wherever i so please
set my soul free
release me from this world
where society
                           magazines
                                                and tv
tell you who to be
how you should look
how you should speak
is this really the life you want to lead?
where you are a walking copy
a construction of society
being fed opinions
                                   dreams
                                                 and fantasies
strip your face of make-up
and burn the magazine
escape the cage you live in
become the song bird you were meant to be
set yourself free
go sit among the wildflowers
and see how good different can be

There will be thousands of people doing
the same thing as you. Just keep in
mind, there is only ONE you.
So walk down your path.
Everyone has their own journey. Everyone has their own successes as well as failures. No path will be exactly the same. Success will come your way soon.
Walk through life with that hope, drive, passion and will to conquer
Thanks again!
Be back soon!

       I
          respect
           myself   to
             be able      to
           walk

To              
live, you              
must learn how          
to FLY - First Love            
You              

I'm                          ­                  
all for                                          
aiding the                                          
self - love, respect                                        
worth                                          

No                                                             ­             
longer                                             ­                             
will I prove                                                            ­                
myself to any                                                              ­            
one                                                             ­               

The                          
focus                          
is  only                          
proving that I                          
can                          

         I
              hold dear
           qualities
                valued more  than
                money

                               ­                              Love
                                                            ­respect
                                                         ­    self-esteem
                                                     ­         belief, kindness
                                                        ­      trust

             I  
              respect  
              myself  to  
             ­  be able      to
                walk  

I                      
spread my                      
wings  to  fly                      
alo­ne    and     yet                      
free                    

Sweet                                                            ­                  
lantern                                       ­                                     
I   ask   you                                                              ­              
to keep moving                                                           ­               
up                                                              ­            
So
put up
your proud flag
     Let       it      proudly
wave

     ♡
Some sweet words from me to you.
If anyone's in need of some words of self-love, I hope these help.
I too am on that journey of self-growth, love and respect when I was feeling like I was going to self-destruct. I'm starting to make peace with myself, slowly but steadily.
I'm a young girl with an old soul who loves and treasures cheap thrills.
Like going to the parks, sitting by the pond, lay under the trees...
Things that people take for granted.
You need to FLY - First, love YOU!
Much love, guys.
Be back soon!
