It’s not about confidence, it’s about courage,
To take the steps and fly from the cage.
Before one realizes, they’ve inspired,
Showing life doesn’t have to expire.

Unmatched determination,
Creates a magical creation.
No race in flight to the finish line,
Purpose isn’t on a timeline.

The fire that led to the start,
Doesn’t go out, it’s a constant part.
Never born to fit it, bird signals freedom.
Be the one to lead them.

Showing others what’s possible and true,
When we stop being afraid and just do.
Facing things head-on, the sky is limitless.

Allie posted a while back but I still love watching and listening to this. Incredible to me

Looking in the mirror, I saw all the things behind me, what haunted me, hurt me and slammed it to the ground. Crushing pieces of glass. Pissed off at words my ears endured. Fucking demeaning and demoralizing.

Why did I tolerate it? I guess I didn’t know better, I’m unsure. I wanted to believe when things were good that they would remain that way. However they just turned back to the same patterns of tearing me down, picking me apart and smashing my self image.

Judgement day occurred regularly and then it gets to a point where I started to believe the lies that were spit on me. That Im crazy. I’m too much or far from enough. I’m not beautiful, I’m damaged goods. I’m weak and mental, dramatic and over the top. Taking things too seriously when all along I wasn’t any of those things. The words he spoke actually are a reflection of who he was and who is he.

Hanging a new mirror on the wall I started to see my reflection of truth and no longer what I was told. I saw I am just right for the right people, I’m not weak, I’m expressive not dramatic. I’m serious when I need to be and far from unable to handle the storm. The suns reflection hit just right showing my inner soul in pure light.

Pages of the past, a slap in the face,
Foolish in love, lost in its embrace.
Blind to the damage, heart wide open,
Journal revealed, secrets unspoken.

Living in hate, rage’s cruel cage,
Now you’re locked up, turning the page.
Past written down, a new chapter to start,
Bloody and salty, tearing apart.

Out for the kill, yet I survived,
Decades in flames, now I’ve revived.
Ashes drift, I shift, breathe anew,
No longer shared, the air is true

No bounds or limits

Flawless in forevermore

Infinity spins

I knew from the start every word etched
In my heart. To see your mind on the page like a fine wine that’s aged.

Emotions rushing from ink had me gushing
And every sentence rushing.
To devour each word and thought,
Before I knew it, my heart was caught.

Dancing with each rhythm and letter.
Words pour, caught my soul making it better.

Words came from you but they felt like mine.
Like reading my thoughts with every line.
Made me feel seen, made me feel heard.
Minds coming together with every word.

Heart was found in each stanza and meter.
We walk hand in hand - there is no leader.
I crave each line, your words saved me.
You unlocked my heart with your poetry.

Anticipation to show my appreciation.

Just let me have my way with you

and then you know just what to do.

Make her ache, desperate whimpers

I call out your name.

Take me, then each other we claim.

Flip the switch in overdrive

Then let me take a ride.

Easing down slowly she grips every vein

Full of you, losing what was sane.

Toss me over, grab my hips.

Don’t just tease with the tip.

Unleash the beast in me Sir

Round and round we go,

Then the sweet afterglow.

Oh, but wait!

A sudden lift and to the wall,

Open the windows and don’t stall

Let them hear my naughty call,

And see me as I take you all.

Gut aches with suffocation’s hold, Crimson flows, a story untold.

Spellbound sparkles shine

Spectacular shimmers show

Splashing sky’s shadows

Woke up in my feels, put on my poetry heels.

Words never fail to release the pain.

Artistic angst, keeping me sane.

My pen ink is thick, color of red.

Straight from my veins, things never said.

I unleashed the hidden darkness.

Crimson blotches oozes from soul.

From blood and sweat the stories were told.

Hand guided with the wand showing scars,

Now exposed like falling stars.

Peace came after the pages became full.

With writing there isn’t a rule.

Just feelings that shed what we once dreaded.

Natural cycle

Transforms from vivid to dull

Nature’s ending bloom

Ripped off layers without warning.

Covered and then shockingly bare.

There rests my heart and soul,

Out for the taking.

No!!

Not anymore.

My Kindness kills you.

Words of hateful spite you spew.

Words cut deeper than any knife,

Almost like the dullest one.

Taking so much time and tolerance.

That day has ended.

Weather predicts sunny sky’s,

While on your side it’s lonely cry’s.

Even though it pains me so…

Finally see you and I weren’t meant to be.

A path uniquely yours to tread,
Where patterns weave a tale unsaid.
Some show relentless wreckage’s might,
While others find a rhythmic light.

A repetition, rare and true,
Transforms into a vibrant hue.
A kaleidoscope of colors bright,
With each turn, new beauty takes flight.

Yet all patterns fade away,
When your heart’s beat guides my way.
