"Puzzle of Moments"

  

Life...

Like a puzzle of moments...

Always making us wonder...

The battle between which pieces fit in...

Our own self-realization is the best gift we can give to ourselves

We are beings always presented with two choices

To evolve beyond or to repeat it always...

Reminding us that our beliefs do not make us a better person

Our behavior does...

Learn the difference in facts

Replace, “I should have know,” with “now I know better...”

Forgive yourself...

Because self-shame is self-sabotage...

Destiny determines who enters our lives

We are the ones who decide who gets to stay, and all of which we get to release

We are change in constant motion...

Beings forever understanding and learning from their experiences of the world

You never should have to apologize for choosing you

For letting go of things that no longer serve you well

Or for embracing peace over chaos...

Because healing means you allow yourself to lose the identity you built around pain

Be brave enough to be someone who still tries

Even after failure or frustration...

Attempt to be that person who musters up enough courage to try and believe that good things are yet to come

Vulnerability is not weakness...

It is our most accurate measure of courage

Always remember the light, just in case of darkness

That you are a whole being...

Even when not entirely seen.

"Show Closed"

  

Today...

I forgive myself for wanting what never wanted me...

As I exhale deeply, I let go...

Releasing all the moments that led me here

Time has shown the difference

Change is real...

Reality will not be denied...

Conviction cannot be gained when only false hope is given

Truth will always remain...

You never truly realize just how many holes a person can leave in their wake, not until you fall into them

I simply asked for presence, turns out all I got was proximity...

I asked for no lies...

And honesty seemed to only ever allude your lips

All the while false hope only led feet further in

Turning a supposed closeness into days that carried nothing forward...

Leaving a devastating loneliness in the absence of a being once embraced

With no definition to cause, questions remain unanswered

Forcing me learn that there are two types of tired

One that requires more rest, and one that requires peace...

So I now choose to protect my being

I offer no apology for being “too much” for you

Maybe next time you should look for less...

Because the lack of respect given, now brings me the only closure I will receive

No apology after doing harm is closure...

Cruelty without the consideration of care is closure

Excuses given over the lack of accountability is closure

And the willingness to actively lie repeatedly, is closure at the core of its definition

Making this all add up to a list of things that were never actually there

And just like the fading of daylight, darkness has now come

The final act has been played out...

Curtain closed...

Time to leave the show.
