Give me

The present as I push past my past thoughts and memories and free fall from everything I used to trust into a new unknown.

And when I hit the ground on my two feet, I will know I am stronger than I could have ever been if I hadn’t prayed for it.

So God, as we walk on this path, let’s be quiet and pass by the ones who never wanted to see us with our heads up high.

With the courage to face my fears with a determination I never had before because I didn’t dare to go there, but now with you, everything will be possible.

So it’s time to let go and be me.

Poetry

In my

head it’s always been you

But in reality, it’s never going to be you for your selfishness and self-centered jerk.

So every time I see your smile, I know the truth behind it all, and I cringe.

And I walk away knowing I’m better without that kind of darkness in my life.

Even though you blind others with your light, I know behind it is a cruel person that plays the victim too many times.

No more naive; I won’t fall for your tricks, so please just let me go.

And when I finally escape, I know this new day will be a turning point for me and everyone around me.
