"The Glistening Rose..."

I'm that Rose who glistens through storms. 

Who cares what they say about you. 

Who cares what they think about you. 

Let your BIG-Bright smile show the world,

 That if you wanted to, 

You could be on any magazine cover 

You could be anything you want to be 

Because you are just that AMAZING! 

Never underestimate your greatness,

When you were born to glisten...

Heartbreak

 

There were long, steep, windy hills.

Refreshing dew from the previous night's teardrops.

Soothing aroma from burning fire wood.

Smiling faces, aching faces, determined faces.

And then... There it was. 

An oddly-shaped, heart.

Beauty exists in our deepest wounds...

When you pull from deep within 
There's a burning hope, 
Pushing you to just. keep. going.

"Don't stop. It's coming!"

Love never leaves you. 

Nor does it ruin you. 

Although it may suffer you,

Just know, 
It's only for a moment.

Hold on tight to your dignity. 

Something spectacular is ready to birth. 

.....3, 2,1.

Do you see her?

The new you has arrived.

Take a bow.

You made it.

Revolutionary Love

I'm from the show me state.

 Let's pretend we're mute and 
Start a demonstration...

I'm all about emancipation proclamation.

Love...
 Love can't hold me down.

I strive for 
The freedom to laugh,

I fight for 
The freedom to love,

I endure
The freedom to live. 
 I'm ready for a revolution!

Put on your gloves and fight!

The mind can take you on a wild journey...

Fun and not-so-fun.

You have the power to control how you feel at all times.

Sometimes you get angry, 
sad or 
disappointed. 

You're human. 

Never a good idea to stay there though.

 Imagine watching a boxer fight.

He takes jab after jab as he fights his opponent,

Until...

That time comes when he gets KO'd.

Just because he's down doesn't mean he lost,

Unless...

He stays down.

 If you stay in a negative state-of-mind,

you will lose your fight.

The more jabs you take 
The stronger you become. 

Winning takes work,

Replace your negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

True champs always rise up!

If your breathing right now,

Consider yourself a champ. 

Shake it off, believe in yourself and FIGHT!

The sky is breaking, clouds are fading...

Luminous sun rays are shining through...

Life is grand although rain storms happen.

Shouldn't take your joy though.

Beauty exists in rain.

Water makes trees grow.

Challenges make you stronger.

Don't run from---

But towards them.

Find pleasure in the small things,

Control only what you can.

Breathe.

Smile.

Live lightheartedly.

Partnership

When a person close to me talks bad about me, 

 it disappoints me because....  

I could be helping you

 You could be helping me

Together we could be throwing

Words of encouragement back and forth.....

Creating a bond so strong

The average person stands in disbelief

When we soar to the top! 

But then again--

 I realize 
We're positioned at different levels on the mountain,

Climbing...
Not really knowing what the person up there knows,

Just what he knows and will continue to know

If he doesn't think beyond the obvious things.
