What a fool I’ve been
Reaching out to you
So many times
And you not responding
Hopelessly in love
Running after
One that
can never be touched
What a nightmare
I’ve built for myself
Putting you on a pedestal
High up on the shelf
What a heartbreak
You don’t even see me
The depths of my soul ache
And you are unaware
What a mixed up girl
Trying to find her way
Thinking things
would finally turn
That this
would be the day
What a fool I’ve been.
I don’t want
to see you
anymore.
I’m hurt
I’m crushed
I’m angry
I’m torn.
I know,
I’m not
the only one,
that’s been
played on
by you.
I just wish
this didn’t
happen to us.
Will this pain ever end?
Will my heart ever mend?
I don’t know the answers.
It feels like
a terrible disease
eating at my bones.
My mind,
my heart,
haven’t stopped
hurting
since
we’ve been apart.
I try to dream
of happy things,
but all
I want to do,
is scream.
Be a good friend
it's important.
Be a nice neighbor
it's expected.
Being there when
someone needs you
is a precious gift
from your heart.
Be there.
Show you care.

I stopped hearing your voice,
I stopped smelling your smell,
I stopped seeing your face,
Suddenly, I closed my eyes,
and there you were,
once again…in my dreams.

My head is spinning,
out of control,
with pleasant
thoughts of you.
This room
is floating in circles,
I can’t make it stop.
My mind replays
over and over,
the things that you said.
Your words
radiate so loud,
I can’t turn them
down.
I care for you
abundantly.
You know how to
light up my life.
You are silly,
yet so full of excitement.
I am still crazy
about you.
But, that is
between
me and me.
Life is bigger
Than that big ocean
And it’s waves,
Little one
Don’t let life’s troubles
knock you down.
You have what it takes,
to overcome.
The greatest,
darkest battles,
cannot drown you.
Stand strong in victory.
Your God,
is always with you!
He’s your life guard,
your rescue,
the One,
that will never leave you!
Just believe.

Walk softly
Walk softly,
don’t make noise
Speak freely
But don’t hurt.
Aim high
go for your dreams,
Be a friend
to the unfriendly.
Show love
even if it hurts,
Wake up smiling,
brighten someone’s day.
Give of yourself
to those who need you,
Reach for the stars,
you might catch a Diamond.
Be gentle enough
to mend a broken heart,
But be genuine,
not artificial.
Raise the bar,
make the change count,
Walk softly,
don’t make noise.

Matthew 6:1-34. 1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
I find myself constantly being tugged this way and that way. The tug is real and it affects my heart, my mind, my body, my being! It takes a lot of courage, a lot of strength, and an open mind, to go the right way in this life. It takes a lot of determination, and guts to say, I’m going to stay on track, I’m not going to fall apart, I’m not going to lose my peace. I vow to make myself happy, again.
It takes a lot of courage, to go with the tug.
Life is full of choices, decisions, and plans.
It’s full of disappointments, celebrations, and meh moments.
We all have mediocre days.
It’s up to us, to rise above them.
Sometimes the mountains are too hard to climb
by ourselves.
But life can be full of passion, love, and incredible friendships!
Embrace those things.
Life has so much goodness, kindness, and joy.
But, we must open our eyes, if we truly want
to see them.
We aren’t stuck in this journey, me in mine,
and you in yours.
Our journeys are blessings!
Within them, we have the chance
to grow, and learn, and love.
Embrace your voyage, enjoy it.
Yes, your trek may be filled with many circumstances, both good and bad.
It all depends on what we do with those
moments, those events.
Where are we going to end up?
What does our future hold?
Am I supposed to move or stay?
The tug can be quite scary, but as well, it can be quite endearing.
It’s hard to make decisions,
when your heart is broken.
But honestly, it’s just as hard, when your
heart is not.
The tug, it’s quite powerful.
It can tear you up.
But, the tug is also very promising.
The tug can change your life,
The tug just might lead your heart to love again.
Likewise, it can lead to devastation
and heart break.
But, what if you never respond to the tug?
that being asked, you would never know.
the tug is one of those things, we all encounter at one time o r another. It’s up to us to make the proper decisions, for us, for those we love.
Which way will we go, right or left?
The tug pulls at our hearts, pulls at our minds, pull deep into our soul, and many times
it’s hard to know which road to take.
One must be taken, if we want to see change, if we want to move forward.
Promise me, that you will listen with your whole heart,
Promise me,
that you will trust, with all your being.
God knows what’s best for you.
Promise me you will go
wherever this crazy, exciting, adventurous,
tug of life takes you!
Keep an open mind
an open heart, and enjoy the journey laid out for you.
You will be glad you did.❤️
these eyes
have seen
much pain,
these eyes
are cryin again.
these eyes
have seen
the light
but right now
they see
only night.
these eyes
long to
stop hurting
long to
stop seeing,
these eyes,
long to stop
feeling,
this pain.
When will it end?
this hurt inside
when will my heart
feel love again
when will the tears
cease to fall
when will this pain,
this fear
disappear?
Gin
hidden inside
the coat pocket,
me alone
in my quiet place.
all my thoughts
and dreams
came true
that night
we shared
our touch,
we shared
our love.
those memories
still haunt me
the pain
still alive.
I can't forget
the sound
he knock
on my
window frame.
the memory
let’s me know
you
are still here
trying
to torture me,
even if it’s
only
in my brain.
please,
let me be.
It’s really
not your
business
not your
problem
the things
that
I’m going through.
It feels like
some days are
hard to pass
hard to let go.
I know that
you’ve got
your own life
one you are
making
for yourself,
things
you are doing
that occupy
your time.
I have no right
just coming in
trying to be
your friend.
You don’t
know me
I don’t
know you,
but I still
wonder
why we met
in the first place.
I probably
always will wonder.
maybe it was
just some fluke
some crazy reason
and we will
never know why,
but I’ll take it
even if it’s just
for a short time.
for that time
I’ll be grateful.
thanks friend
for being my friend.
