"Rebirth"

 

Consumed...

Thoughts run...

Fingers reach and sort through the moments...

Time counted continues on

Today is the tomorrow you have been waiting for

Its understanding what you can with the abilities given...

Respect the process and the progress made

By learning to embrace the satisfaction that comes from recognizing personal growth

The mind will navigate the heart

Lessons of wisdom and resilience lead feet forward

Scars should not be collected as proof...

Of battles and wars lost or won

Reality is reason enough

Strength begins from broken

Clarity is the act of a promise kept

Hope is a seed planted...

Because peace needs to be given a chance to take root

Confusion only takes what you allow it

At some point in existence...

Everything needs to be left alone

The past...

And the pain...

Never apologize that you have kept breathing

When doubt told you that you would fail

Change is not your destruction

It is your rebirth...

Remember...

You are a flame burning bright

And the dark parts of the world will try to dim your luminance

But let your inner light shine

Proud and strong...

Because it's one of a kind

With an unforgettable glow.

"Like You"

Life...

Is meant for existence...

It can be more...

Even though so many voices will it upon others to be less

Cruelty always attempts to shade us with shadows

Because they tell you to be yourself, then pass judgment

Breathe in today...

Exhale yesterday...

Upon this moment, realize...

Our worth is not deemed by another

Please, understand the value that you hold

We learn...

We build...

Change comes from hope planted

Mend together the pieces of life

Some broken pieces does not mean completely fragile

We are continued works in progress

Effort is a reflection within interest

Keeping our feet moving

The street of life carries us

Some days at a speed we cannot see

Understand intention...

Because the worst lie ever told, is kindness shrouded in good intentions

Closure in the absence of words comes in behavior towards us taken

Honour what your being deserves

Actions defend us more than words ever can

Protect your peace within...

Embrace the soul...

Keep the promise you made to yourself

Eyes forward...

Tomorrow comes again...

There is always darkness in life, but there is also light...

Like you...

Shinning bright.

"Life Goes On"

 

Little by little...

Everyday...

Life finds its way...

With or without us...

By eyes starting their search daily

Each dawn breaks...

All moments begin...

Hope contains the questions of wanting more

We do our best at understanding

But the lack of control is the master we seek most

When reality knows better than us

We must grow with the flow of time

Giving up...

Forgiveness...

Or remembering to forget...

All choices we need to deem their worth

Tears shed mean you feel

Doubt shows care...

And actions taken contains the want for something more

Because no matter how many times you have felt lost

Within a list of a thousand things to do

From the all consuming range and roles of responsibilities

At the core of it all, you are still you

Learning everyday...

So when you ask yourself, 'Are you broken?”

No...

You are just rearranging priorities

Because you realized that we all have two lives

These days now...

And the second...

When you recognize we only have this one.

"Stronger Tomorrow"

 Change...

Happens...

Always...

Thoughts take over

The heaviness is never easy

Making the struggle within difficulty ever so real

Acknowledge the pain

We are only human...

Senses consume reality

Until decisions have to be made

We create the tomorrow we deserve

Today is a new page within the next chapter written

And no apology should ever have to be given for self-care

Especially when its something you wished to always write

Give the permission to make this a priority

That growth means choosing happiness over history, and never looking back

Because survival comes from the fire inside you

Burning brighter than the one trying to consume you

Just as the moon breaks through the darkness

So do you...

Until the night reveals a new dawn

Making our stronger tomorrow one filled with existence

We are a powerful tool of creation

To live with it, is to learn through it

Healing happens by feeling

Determine the worth

Is this the life you wish to live?

Is this the person you want to be?

Can you be stronger?

Kinder or more compassionate?

Breathe in...

Breathe out...

And decide.
