In vain I try to count your worth
Try to open long sealed up jars
Finding dazzling gems I unearth
It's like counting the night sky stars
Love, the soul prison soon unbars
Your vast value you soon shall see
Cracking like light pierced, life long scars
You'll know your importance to me

You're like the sun's golden glow
The peace of soft rolling tides
The silver moonlight shadow
But worth so much more

If we give into others fears,
where just a reflection
                            of there worth.


Always look inward,
              you'll find that mirror
              reflecting the true you.

And remember there's is broken for a reason.

She dances in the vast plain darkness
With struggle and agitation,
She makes her way through the top
Then goes all the way falling down

She , herself wanted to run
She never knew how to love herself
And yet she knows her worth
More than rubies , diamonds and gold

The biggest fear in life is when you see the whites of your eyes in the mirror,
And you thought the vision of your life would be a little clearer.
When your life is broken into pieces and your trying to find Jesus,
Your vision of morality increases, but your will power decreases.

Bipolar and addicted, mind is conflicted, afflicted, and your breath constricted,
Its hard to feel alive, when every day feels like a ten-thousand-foot sky dive to your death.
Day by day we try to survive, minds on overdrive, through each other’s experiences we strive,
To live, we try to give, and the next day we grapple with the life we are trying to unlive.

Don’t judge me fool, you know nothing about this demented dual,
A twisted and demented world a little like high school,
The place where everyone thought they knew you,
Instagram famous, thousands of followers people thought you were  cool.
But deep down you knew who was the tool!
There is some of us who live in the darkness were drowning in a black pool.
This **** isn’t my fault that my brain is misguided by a genetically controlled molecule.

Who are you to talk about me and my life,
Im 7 years in about to call this girl my wife,
It took me 3 close encounters with a blade of a knife,
To get past the strife of my past and realize I have the right to life.

I have to say im sorry, I caused a lot of pain,
Never put a needle in my vein, or did *******, but I lived my life in the fast lane,
Drank my life away, a one way ticket to death on the devils freight train,
Im proud to say today that I chose to abstain,
From the molecule that dissolved my brain and made me inhumane,
That alcohol is a solvent it dissolves the membrane,
Turned my life into a hurricane, give me the cellophane,
Choke me out and stop the oxygen to my brain.

For a longtime I wasn’t happy with myself,
My mistake is I was never true to myself.

I learned the value of wealth,
It wasn’t by increasing the quantity of items on my bookshelf,
It was as simple as learning that #1 was myself.

They say love is selfless, That’s true if you want a mess,
Love yourself first and life will take care of the rest.
I write to share my experience strength and hope.
In recovery from bipolar mental health and suicide.
In recovery from addiction
I will not allow you
To come in and out of me
At a whim.
I am a monument
To be revered,
Not a day trip
To a luxurious destination
You cannot afford

The best part of being alive
is that you got to decide.
Never settle for less
than what you can aspire.
Don’t listen to people
who determine your worth
by what they see on
the outside.
You have a thoughtful mind
and know exactly the value
of your heart.
Your happiness is in your hands.
Don’t you dare let it
slip through your fingers.
The hate must not
influence your mindset.
You are you.
Think like you.

Each night my moon's light grows weaker, only a flicker of his past self.
When I gaze up at him from my windows, I don't feel the same as I used to. His beam no longer envelops me.
He looks the same, his craters all in place, yet I can't help but feel like I'm staring at someone else.
On late night trips as a child I would look out the car window and wonder why the moon was following me.
I'd tell my dad to drive faster, hoping we could outrun it somehow.
Now I walk slowly down the street. I don't dare look up at the sky because I know he's not there.
I shout night after night. I tell the stranger to give me my moon back. I tell him my woes. I give him my tears.
You're not him. You're not him. You're not him.
And I wish he wasn't. But he is.
Perhaps my moon was never mine?
Either way he never answers, never cares. Not anymore.
I cry each time dawn rolls around like it's the last time I'll see him, because maybe it is.

how does a woman tell
about awakening?
the burning in her breast
the fire that lights
the embers long smouldering
‘neath years of stress
and fight
and proving;
when finally she esteems herself
enough
and sees the lines and curves
for wisdom
wealth
and birth.

knowing her power, real
allowing her to feel
that freedom waits
where shame has fade away.
she knows the joy
of being
this woman-

having this form,
the center of creation
in her body and her soul
to share or keep-
is like a dance.

dance alone she may
or with you

you’ll know her
by the passion of her touch
her laugh
her joy
her zeal for life
when two become one
if first
she knows herself
and so do you
The only way to pure love is through the self. A woman who sees her value is a treasure to those who know her.

We may climb many mountains,
             and some may think that there
                                higher than others.

But always remember that
          our feet will always be on the ground.
