bowl everything in my life seems up in the air

To my surprise I’m still discovering new things as my journey is unclear

I’m at a standstill right now on the path that felt so right, and I am resting longer than I wanted.

But I am refreshed and awake right now

And soon all that is happening around me won’t be up in the air

And all that I pictured it would be like will fall into place as I open my eyes and know that through the difficulties, I did not quit.

Even when I had no clue what I had walked myself into.

Not afraid to move to my beat anymore

Being my true authentic self is more freeing than I ever thought

My words are more raw than ever, and you know how I am around you that you know when I am not myself.

I try to stay focused and trust myself to achieve my goals. And one day, I will do it all.

Sometimes, we find ourselves dancing alone, purely for our enjoyment.

But I passionately believe that the universe will align in our favor.

Aim to become self-sufficient and surrounded by a supportive group, no matter where my path leads me.

For I am one with myself and my dance through this journey that is my life, for I am unstoppable.

There is

Always awareness of something in your life, even if you are the only one aware of it.

I’ve learned to live this life despite my trials because I want to say I am brave enough to change and do the work.

I know I am tired, and the fight to do better is easier said than done, but how can I do more when I’m dead tired?

And even with a bit of rest, I still only want to do the things that don’t require many brain cells.

And they say showing up is saying I need support and that is all true but on what energy.

Oh, how I wish to be rechargeable batteries that have no interruption while charging.

But I am human with basic needs, and they come as they please.

And so here I am rambling, wondering when I will have the energy.

Inside

I am ready to give up

But I don’t, for I know this risk is worth it, and it will get better.

But lately, I’ve been resting and making other moves.

Leaving the one risk quite vulnerable, the fire to work on is out as I spread myself thinner and thinner.

I feel it is my lack of sleep and focus that will be my downfall.

But I don’t want to throw in the towel just yet, for I have come too far to give up this dream of mine.

What am

What are you passionate about?

I passionate about

That’s simple writing and reading

Writing poetry and fiction is what I love to do.

I can’t go without either, and if I do, it throws my day off and is sometimes frustrating.

When I can’t write a poem, I feel sad, but I know each poem is personal or creative, and sometimes taking time off is needed.

Writing can be draining, but when inspiration comes, it’s like I’m full to the max, and it’s magical seas! It is important

And reading, I can’t get enough of it, and I’m probably addicted to it now.

Here I

Am so predictable

Even though you have no clue who I truly am

And I’ve come to accept you don’t care

Because you never really took the time to get to know me.

Because you see, I’m not an open book; I’m a closed-off and guarded one.

And sometimes, I want to be more open, but people show me they’re not worth it right when I’m ready to open up.

So here I am, closed off, and only a few are lucky enough to know me, honestly.

And this year, I’ve accepted that number maybe a little but I’m okay with my supporters.

As they want to know me, and I do try to be open.

But when people have made you question what a true friendship is.

It’s hard sometimes to accept and understand not everyone is the same.

But I also know I live my life my way, and I know it’s not normal, but it’s sane and fun for me.
