Seeing people online or on tv, it’s like looking at a house. The outside can sometimes be this gorgeous home, and maybe on the inside it is too. Hell, maybe even the foundations are sturdy and it really is just as great on the outside as it is on the inside. But maybe this gorgeousContinue reading “Judging a book by its cover”

Our talks
Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve been able to sit down, comfortable on the sofa, and just talk? To have real, meaningful conversation, to be listened to and heard To know that someone cared enough to use up their time to hear you speak of your troubles. It didn’t matter what thoseContinue reading “Our talks”
Heavy
I am floating And I am heavy. I am emotional And I am numb. The minutes take ages And a year takes minutes. Reality has been unveiled It’s true form staring me in the face… I am stuck. And I feel free. Who am I… Who will I be? Things have been rough there latelyContinue reading “Heavy”
At the bottom of a hole
“We all start somewhere.” A phrase I’ve often heard when you’re struggling to make ends meet. Some will never know what it’s like. They’ll never know what it’s like to be hungry, When all you could afford was a carton of eggs with the pennies you dug from your car, and the 10¢ you foundContinue reading “At the bottom of a hole”
I’ve been
I’ve loved I’ve lost. I’ve been loved And not. I’ve been played and used. I’ve been a tool and made a fool. But for all I have given, And all I’ve been tossed, I still can’t give a price for what love costs. ~A

She has made oceans from tears Made life from sacrifice She has made dreams from nightmares She has foundContinue reading “She is”
I will dance
When love turns hateful Peace turns chaotic Comfort turns sour I won’t cower from the storm I will strip the shame and false guilt from my shoulders And I will dance in the pouring rain. I will smile amidst thunder I will laugh in the face of lighting For I am not weak, and IContinue reading “I will dance”
It only takes a second…
The harshness of words last longer than the second it takes to say. The harshness of words can last a lifetime, and hurt just as bad, years later, as it did the second you heard them. Let your words be remembered as warm and loving instead. Let that memory be encouraging, rather than demeaning. TheContinue reading “It only takes a second…”
When you love
The truest love, is when A hug never feels tight enough A kiss never long enough Conversations feel too short Your heart feels the calmest it’s ever been Your mind is at ease. The truest love makes you wish that time stood still That you could live in that love infinitely And you would doContinue reading “When you love”
Romantic lies
I saw it through a screen I read it on a page It all seemed so magical at that age. I see it now with more mature eyes The stories we were told were all fantastical lies. Yet still I see it through the screens I read it on a page And I long toContinue reading “Romantic lies”
