Life...

Life.

One thing 

That I learned about it

Is...

 That it goes on.

It doesn't wait for you to catch your breath--

Or mend your broken heart, 

It
Just 

Keeps 

Moving 

Foward.

So why sit back in despair 

And ponder on what could have been 

When reality says,

 "Let it be." 

Mine as well move right along with it... 

I mean after all, 

You will catch your breath, 

Your heart will brighten...  

And 

Love---

Love will find you again...

Love Conquers All

There are a lot of people in this world 

Who chitter-chat about other people's relationship drama--

As if they have none of their own...
I must say,

It's annoying and uncomfortable to hear, 

I mean after all...

Who's to say who you can love? 

What's wrong for one 

May be what's right for another.... 

It's through love 

That you truly learn about yourself. 

So what's wrong for one

May actually be what's right for another.. 

When the heart wants what it wants, 

Let it beat. 

Live what love is supposed to be...

"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.
