They won’t understand why stars guide your heart’s course, or why whispers of the wind fuel your dreams. Yet, onward you sail, illuminated by unseen forces.

The monsters were never under my bed. Because the monsters were inside my head.

I fear no monsters, for no monsters I see. Because all this time the monster has been me.

Like a breath of fresh air, I have constantly exhaled myself from my lungs. I think I like to pretend I am reborn into who I am meant to be. The truth is that I reinvent myself so often I have never given myself the chance. Every conversation is an opportunity to slip into a skin that is not mine yet fits just as uncomfortably as my own. I tell myself it takes time. But you can tell yourself that same thing every single day because it never won't be true. I am sure there must come a day when I can no longer shapeshift. But until then, I am likeable, and I am needed, and I am here.

Ephemeral Sunsets

I don’t know if I loved the sunsets Or if I just liked you there Because when you disappeared, the sky seemed to fade along with you And not in the beautiful way where contrasting colors blend No, the sunsets just seemed to vanish out of nowhere Maybe it was there, but it felt like it wasn’t Because the image didn’t last forever And neither did you You and the sun are one and the same Your nonexistence blinded me So all there was to see was colorless depths

Her words travel distances to her young meeting them physically at every milestone There's nothing in comparison to Mother's Love in Season and out of Season Traces of her Love are seen like the sun or moon Gracing the skyline with Divine Light A Lioness's Perfect Protective Covering like that of "The Hand of God" Grace and Mercy to follow them all the days of their lives Surely, this is Excellence Crowned in Glory "A work, Well Done" for a Servant of LOVE Supernal Glory as she went toe to toe with a Judge " I know their fate" it begins with me My Life today Tomorrow's Seed It's what's dear to me I yield my Blessings my time for Wisdom The world didn't give it And the World Can't take it For them, I Yield An ultimate sacrifice Young Princess now Queen with own Reign A Prince, now King with Words My grandchildren I shield from the Cold World Now, Set my Heart and Soul in Place where my Prayers carry them onward and upward into magestic beginnings all while the Glory Of a Just God confirmed them To Believe and Be I paint pictures before God with Loving Arms that are full of Love this day and forevermore My Pride and Joy "You made it" Amen I'm never too far from your calls I declare before God I Love You.............

Me

I miss me I miss the way I used to be I miss the way I used to see I miss the way I used to breathe I miss the way I used to flee the invisibility I wish I could be strong When I am oh so wrong But now I am oh so weak When I try to keep my life so sleak When the grey clouds form Waiting for a storm I stand alone Just holding my cellphone Trying to catch a signal But no one's around They're all hiding beneath the ground So there I stand Just a waiting for the raindrops to hit the sand So here I stand As the raindrops land within my hand Alone Again But once more I feel regret So instead of feeling sorry for myself I will dance And I will smile I will prance And those who distance by a mile Will see me And they will join me Beneath the place the grey clouds took form Praying in the storm So here I am Me The me I have always been
