Julius James
Alaska Mar 2016
I held onto his
small fragile body,
like he was my
own.
I cried because of
how beautiful life
can be.
I cried because of
how precious he
was in my arms,
I was literally
holding someone's
life in my hands.
I cried because of
how scared I was
to have him
brought into this
world,
scared because I
wanted to always
protect him,
scared because I
wanted him to
always be safe,
to have the happy
life he deserves.
As his little hand
grasped my pinky
finger,
A tear rolled down
my cheek and I
whispered, "i love  you
and I'm never going to
leave you.

I'm in love with

with the most

and the cutest
dimples.
Not to mention the
most mysterious

But wait there's a
catch.
He's not in love

When's the last time you looked
at me?
Like really looked at me.
Nobody looks at each other
anymore,
we always look down at our
phones instead of looking at
the people we
love and care
about.
Look at me.
Why is that so hard?
We don't have to say anything.
We can speak and feel
with our
eyes.
Look at me.
Inspired by Marina Abramovic' s ," The Artist Is Present".

I'm trying to love...
Alaska Apr 2017
My face consumed with  
                acne due to PCOS.
My chubby belly, even though
                I'm trying my best to lose.
My dry hands, that no matter
                how much lotion I put on
                                               won't stay soft.
My frizzy hair that I try
                   my best to tame.
My calves, that are too big to
                     fit into "normal" calf sized
                                                           ­  boots.
My heart that gets hurt time and time
                      again but puts itself back together
                                                        ­                 each time.
My mind that cares too much for the
                       ones who wouldn't do the same for me.
                              
                              ­ I'm trying to love  myself.

Worth

You are not
worthless.
You are worth
more than all
the stars in
the sky,
More than all
the waves that
kiss the shore,
More than all
the birds that
fly the skies,
More than all
the clouds that
float on by,
More than all
the wishes dreamers
make upon dandelions.
You are worth

Let's trust one

Grab my hand.
hold it tight.
Spill all.
I'll tighten my

We shouldn't worry.
I won't let you go,

Ashamed
Alaska Apr 2016
People should not be ashamed for feeling.
I'm not sorry for the way I felt about you
Because it only seemed to be a phase,
that's why I've let my emotions out
through words rather than pouring
out my soul to you.
And to the next person I fall for,
let it be known it's most likely a phase,
don't expect me to spill at all.
We as humans should not be ashamed of loving one another, sometimes people slip and fall into the trap, sometimes it's a phase, don't worry you will get through it. I'm just sick of people getting tormented for having feelings for someone and being ashamed for the way they feel, we're all human and it happens. If it doesn't work out or if it's a phase, you will move on and it's going to be okay.

One Day...
Alaska Mar 2016
I will find the
one.
I will live the
life I want to
lead.
I won't be scared
to love and be
loved.
I will say, "I love you",
and have it said
back to me in
the same way.
I won't be scared
to feel.
I will know what
it's like to hold
hands with the one
I love.
I will know what
it's like to not
be alone when I
fall asleep at night
and wake up in the
morning.
God, has a plan
for me, for all
of us.
These are the two words that I say to myself over and over again to remind me that my day will come...Constantly, I whisper to myself "one day, Alyssia! One day you will be ******* loved back by the person you love and you're gonna be okay, and you won't be scared", and so on. This is also for you guys who are maybe struggling with the same thing, constantly being patient letting yourself get hurt over and over again and you just want it to get to "the one" already and stop having to go through these people who don't deserve you. You may feel alone, but never forget that you are surrounded with people who love and care about you, and if you think you don't, well i'm here for any of you guys,seriously I am, and I love YOU!So guess what? Your day will come, don't you worry, but don't doubt it either because that never helps anything.

Closure without Encounter

not paying attention.
Why you ask?

But I would
indeed receive the
closure that I deserve
except without an

it's because  I

you're going to
leave me like

I've loved only one
in my eighteen years
and stopped myself before
I could love another.

I grew up without
love, not knowing what
it felt like to
be loved or to
love someone else.

But now, I  know
what love is after
I've seen and experienced
it.

Except when I fell
in love, it was
only me who fell..

And I don't plan
on falling again unless
I know I will
be caught.

To feel every

The emptiness that
was there is filling

All that matters is that you are enough for you.
You will always be enough.
You are one of kind.

Live life knowing you're enough.

I love you and God loves you.

When you get hurt...
emotionally...
it's not a physical
wound..
And some people
fail to realize that..
You can't just put a
bandage on your heart,
let it heal, and be okay

It takes time for your
mind and heart to heal.
Sure there is maybe
some pain now and then
but, not as much as
there was in the beginning.
You're gonna

when I honestly do not mean to.

But no one believes me.

I was raised in loudness.
Constant yelling, screaming , shouting , and rudeness.
