In the darkness, I walk with fear,
Each step a trial, each breath, a tear.
But above the clouds, I lift my gaze,
Seeing the light, a future ablaze.

The storms roar, the wind pushes me,
But my heart stays strong, and my spirit free.
The stars shine, even in the dark of night,
They guide me, reminding me of the light.

I look up seeing God above,
His presence is there, I feel his love.
All my trials become paths anew
And all the darkness is filled with a brightened view.

The next time I falter, I’ll lift my eyes,
To the precious love, that goes beyond the skies.
God supports me, He shows the way,
And in his arms, I last each day.
Written in adoration

Bye
You lost me,
It’s sad but it’s true.
So I wrote this poem, but only for you.
Roses are Red
And Violets are Blue
In my mind you were kind
And I thought you were true
So I gave you my heart
Then you tore it apart
The pain that I feel
Cut deeper than steel
One day it died and I didn’t cry
So I say goodbye, with no tears in my eye.

You lost me, and I found myself again,
The lessons I learned from the heartache back then.
I’ve healed and matured, with time as a guide,
No longer in the shadows, no need to hide.

The memories of you fade into the past,
I cherish the good, but know it wasn’t meant to last.
I walk a new path, with courage and faith,
Embracing the future with a smile on my face.

I found someone new
And I completely forgive you.
It was worth a try
But here’s my goodbye.
For you
I bid Adieu
<3

I had the feeling of emptiness again,
This time I’d rate it a 10/10,
I felt lost
But now I feel found,
So no more of my tears will hit the ground.
I thank my friends for all they have done,
For they have loved me more than anyone.
Now, before I give an adieu
Don’t forget to be true
For even God loves you
In all that you do.
Always have people around to help <3

As I remember him say,
“It’s ok not to be ok”
The feelings of pain will stay
But eventually they’ll drift away
You’ll be as happy as before
Like a newly open door
So don’t worry about the past
For it wasn’t meant to last.
This was a while ago but...
When he cared...
One thing I learned from him:
It is ok not to be ok
Eventually you will find your way:)

You’re the most loyal person
But no one is ever loyal to you
You put up a fight for the people you love
But no one does the same for you
You stay up late at night
Overthinking things you’ve said or done
You’ve raised a barricade around yourself
So you won’t get hurt again
You feel so fragile that if you open up
The past will repeat itself
Now you wear a disguise
To hide all you feel inside
You people please just to feel at ease
And you forgive so you can try to forget
Most of all you feel like you have to say sorry
Even if it’s not your fault
Even if it’s not necessary at all…
Have you been that hurt?
Yes, by those I opened up to
Those who I thought were true
Those who may have been like me and you
All I ever really wanted
Was to be loved for who I am
But how am I supposed to open up
If they turn out to be a sham.
Pretty much explains itself :/
Can you relate?

In the stillness of the night,
A mind awake, a constant fight.
Endless thoughts, a heart that aches,
Through the silence, the mind partakes.

Eyes wide open, sleep eludes,
In the darkness, the mind intrudes.
Wandering thoughts, a restless quest,
Seeking answers, finding no rest.

The moon’s soft glow, the gentle guide,
Through the labyrinth, where thoughts reside.
Up all night, with a heart so full,
(Endless thoughts, a mind to mull or Seeking the answers, feeling the pull.)

Thoughts of future, echoes of past,
Memories fleeting, moments vast.
In the silence, dreams are told
That one day you may see unfold.

Through the night, the journey goes,
A dance of thoughts, a mind that knows.
Endless pondering, a heart’s delight,
That come what may and come what might

As dawn approaches, thoughts still roam,
In the quiet, of this home
All these thoughts, questions that wander,
Beyond the night, the soul grows fonder.
My mind is always awake
