We are

mywords2228

Connected to everything in our lives, even when we don’t want to be. We live for the things we love to do.
To the items, we must do and get finished before our deadline.
To break the truth of why we are holding back in life.
Why are we waiting around for something to happen?
When we can about and do it ourselves, and then when it works out, we know it did because we tried.
And we gave it our all for everything happens for a reason, and sometimes you’re the reason it happens and is delivered.

Happy International women day!

mywords2228

As we come together and celebrate women worldwide today, let us appreciate how far we have come and how much farther we will go.

That will are stronger than we think, and we are all different in how we see ourselves and how others see us.

But the love and support we can and will have for each other are quite beautiful.

We honor what we each can do and help those who can’t, and even if we are not the best, we will do our best to overcome our struggles.

And sometimes, our feelings will get in the way, but we embrace our tears and silence as we take our time to regroup.

But we know when we fall, we get back up, and the chains that some throw at us will not ever indeed hold us down.

Poetry

So drained

mywords2228

That I can’t fight back as the strong wind comes around and blows me from side to side.

And all I can do is let it carry me around like a leaf, and where I drift to will be my new place.

I accept this fate as my body grows weak and my eyes grow heavy.

Poetry

Your words

mywords2228

lifted me up from the doubt that was burning inside me.

Ripping apart all I knew and loved about myself until I questioned everything and everyone who got too close to me.

But then you looked me in the eye and told me to wake up because not everyone was against me.

So it’s time to walk tall, and if I have to pretend, everyone is for me.

Poetry

Self-doubt

mywords2228

It can throw you around as if you’re in a hurricane season of your life.

Where nobody in your life feels grounded.

And your fall every chance you get until someone wakes you up and reminds you that you are great just the way you are!

Then self-doubt goes back in your mind waiting to strike again, becoming a never-ending battle.

But you become stronger, making it hard for self-doubt to stick around for a short amount of time next time around.
