First dates

First dates can be quite the thrill,

A chance to find someone to fill

The empty spaces in our hearts,

And make us feel like brand new starts.

We dress up sharp and comb our hair,

And hope that we make quite the pair.

We talk and laugh and share our dreams,

And hope that things are what they seem.

Sometimes the spark just isn't there,

And we leave feeling quite despair.

But other times, we know it's true,

That we've found love, and it's brand new.

So don't be scared to take the chance,

To find that special romance.

Just keep an open heart and mind,

And love will come, in its own time.

Ticking Clock

When the night is dark and deep,

And you can't seem to fall asleep,

Your mind races, your thoughts do creep,

And you shuggle in your bed, counting sheep.

The clock ticks, the hours pass,

You try to relax, but it's a task,

You toss and turn, you breathe in gasps,

And you shuggle in your bed, hoping it won't last.

But don't worry, my dear friend,

This will come to an end,

Just close your eyes, take a deep breath,

And shuggling to sleep will be a thing of the past.

The monster that is self doubt..

Self-doubt is a shadow that follows me,

A voice that whispers, "You're not meant to be."

It's a feeling that creeps in, when I'm alone,

A thought that tells me, I'm on my own.

It's a weight that pulls me down,

A feeling that makes me want to drown.

It's a battle that I fight, every day,

And I know that it won't go away.

But I also know, that I'm not alone,

That there are others, who have known,

The pain of self-doubt, and the fear it brings,

And that there is hope, for better things.

So I'll take a deep breath, and I'll stand tall,

And I'll face my fears, once and for all.

For I know that I am strong, and I am brave,

And that I have the power, to change my fate.

Self-doubt is a thief that steals my joy,

A cloud that darkens, the brightest day.

It's a voice that whispers, "You're not enough,"

And a feeling that just won't go away.

It's a weight that pulls me down,

A fear that keeps me from my dreams.

It's a battle that I fight, every day,

And it's never as easy as it seems.

But I know that I am not alone,

That others have felt this way too.

And that there is hope, for a brighter tomorrow,

And that I can make my dreams come true.

So I'll take a deep breath, and I'll stand tall,

And I'll face my fears, one by one.

For I know that I am strong, and I am brave,

And that my journey has just begun.

Natures Divinity

In fields of green and skies of blue,

The world is painted with a vibrant hue.

The sun shines bright, the breeze is light,

And everything feels just right.

The trees sway gently in the wind,

And flowers bloom, their petals thinned.

The birds sing sweetly, their melodies pure,

And all around, there's a sense of allure.

The rivers flow, the oceans roar,

And the mountains stand tall, forevermore.

The world is vast, its beauty immense,

And it's impossible to take it all in at once.

But in these moments, when we stop and see,

The world around us, so wild and free,

We're reminded of the beauty that lies within,

And the joy that comes from just taking it in.

So let us cherish the world we call home,

And all the wonders that we've yet to roam.

For in the beauty of nature, we find our peace,

And a sense of wonder that will never cease.

Falling in love

If you’re going to fall in love with me,

Here are some things you should know,

I’m not perfect,

I mess up,

I start fights,

and I get jealous easily,

I’m proud to say,

I don’t play games,

I'll be honest and true,

And I'll always be there for you.

I may not be perfect, that's true,

But I promise to always be there for you.

I'll be your rock, your safe haven,

And I'll always be your number one fan.

I'll cherish you, and I'll hold you tight,

And I'll love you, with all my might.

So if you're going to fall in love with me,

Just know that I'll always be

The person you can count on,

And the one who will never be gone.

For love is a journey, that we take together,

And I promise to always be there,

Through the stormy weather.

The Truth is..

You might think I’m obsessive,

Or clingy, but the truth is..

Im just a fast texter, 

I don’t like to leave messages for hours, 

I have walls around my heart, 

Walls that help avoid being hurt, 

Walls that make it impossible for me to trust 

To let anyone in, 

But I'm willing to try, to take a chance,

To break down these walls, and to learn to dance.

For life is too short, to live in fear,

And I know that love, is always near.

So I'll take a deep breath, and I'll let go,

And I'll find the courage, to let my heart show.

For in this journey, I'll find my way,

And I'll find that love, is here to stay.

So let us take this journey, hand in hand,

And let us find our way to the promised land.

For in this journey, we'll find our strength,

And we'll find that love, is worth the length.

I wish

I wish I could unsend all those texts,

I wish I could take it all back,

My true feelings, 

deepest secrets

But it’s out there now, 

Without acknowledgement 

I wish I could tell you I don’t mean it, 

But you know I mean it.
