I used

To think blowing on a dandelion would grant me a wish

Now I know it won’t, but the fun of blowing it away is still tempting.

Looking back at those times when I was innocent, everything was so simple and beautiful.

Things are more in-depth, and emotions, feelings, and decisions can change everything around me.

The answers and questions become more, but I cannot ignore that something feels off, and all I wish for is for what is wrong to come clear.

I used to see so much, and now it’s all in a fog that feels like it won’t be lifting anytime soon.

To let go

When you truly let go of everything

And you jump up into the air as if you could fly.

For you believe and feel that nothing can stop you now.

For all the negative voices inside your head are gone, and you are stronger than you ever felt before.

When you got some air that day, you realized your life could not return to the dark hole you had been in.

Because you aren’t that person anymore, even though you know, struggles will still come and go.

You don’t have to worry anymore because they will not be trying to tear you down but build you up so that nothing can indeed destroy you.

If your mind and your heart are pure, you will find that as you tell the truth, things will be more straightforward for you everywhere you go.

Sometimes

I don’t want to get back up again like lying in a cold pool of water

And knowing I should get up and not let myself get too cold, but I don’t

For sometimes I just need to feel it all and then let it all out before I get back up again.

And show the world you can throw so much at me, but I will get up even if each time it may take longer for me to get back up again.

Sometimes you are the one pushing me down when things look too good for me, and you feel things need to be stirred up.

So, you throw me off my game and throw me down in the dirt where you spend most of your days.

Sometimes I want to give up but then you tell me not to because I still have so much more to give.

Too hot

to go outside so let’s come together inside and eat food that fuels us up.

So that when we must go outside, we end up feeling cool and full but strong to overcome this heat.

As we all walk quickly to our destinations and relax inside with the air conditioning on and wait for a cool moment to come.

Then we can take a walk where the breeze is blowing around and the feeling of appreciating nature is strong.

As we clear our minds from the past days and just start clear and good again.

The moment

I walked on the path; I felt something I had never thought I could.

The ability to know I was going the right way for once.

Self-doubt just melted away, and I was proud of who I was becoming.

And I didn’t want to blame others for my pain anymore.

I didn’t want to give up so quickly, for I was fighting for myself this time around.

My worth. was too great to give up, and as I approached the opening, I didn’t look back.

break, they say you really need it.

And this time you listened.

As you arrived on the island, you couldn’t believe your eyes. Right, there was a rainbow.

And that felt like a sign as you had been going through quite the storm and here you are feeling at peace.

Standing in the water with no stress or worry insight as you let your body relax.

You can feel your soul at peace as the beautiful surroundings push their positive energy your way.

day ends, and I go outside once again to look at the beauty of the night sky.

Which always helps me see the little blessing in life and be joyful about all I was able to do today.

And gives me hope that tomorrow will be better. All I must do is keep on believing and I can get through it all.

Even in

A brief storm in my life, my passion, always shines through it as it continues to grow and bloom on its own.

Sometimes I can stand tall through it, but sometimes I need to bend down and take a moment to appreciate what I have and what I want.

My future is not always going to go the way I want it to, but I know I will be okay wherever I end up.

So as I stand up and take a shot, I see the world for what it is and capture it the way I know beauty is and can be.

Right when

I step over the finish line and have reached my goal.

Do you show up as if you’ve been supporting me this whole time?

But you disappeared on me a long time ago as if trying to figure me out wasn’t worth it anymore.

I should’ve seen it coming that once I was up again, you would show up, but you know, I had forgotten.

For I was focused on myself and the people around me that hadn’t given up and had pushed and pulled me forward at times, So my success wasn’t just mine alone but a group’s effort in the end.

Being

one with myself and nature was the only time I seemed to find the peace I need in life.

So much stress around me but when I’m out here nothing seems to be able to touch me.

I’ve came a long way from where I was before, and I know now looking back will do me no good.

So today I live in the present and try not to let all of it that is around me get to me.

For I am enough and all I have is all I ever will need to continue a life that is full of joy and love and peace a life that is well balanced.

Nothing I’ve seen before so bright and mysterious.

Your presence speaks volumes as you light a new path for me every day.

You’re what I love to look at, and when I feel I can’t get enough, you shine even more so, lighting up my life like nothing ever could before.

Through it

all we have been together for without you, I don’t think I could have made it through my darkest days.

Through it all, I don’t have to doubt if it will work out because I know I can face the things I can handle with you by my side.

Through it all, I have always felt your love and protection, and when things feel so out of my control, you save me and show me I am so much more, and I am worthy of all that you have given me.

Your music

It always moves me whether you are on your guitar chilling on the couch.

Or you are sitting at your keyboard trying to come up with the right melody for a song.

You always bring this positive and inviting energy.

That makes it hard to stay away.

Your smile is so bright and your voice so smooth I’m transformed into a calming space, and before you know it, I’m drifting off to the calm waves of your song.

As I

reach to the sky, a rainbow appears,

lighting up my day, and I praise the lord for another great day ahead of me.

For nothing can ruin this moment that lights me up inside and has me skipping through life like no puddle is too big for me to handle or walk through.

That even if it pours, I will still have this memory to look back on and know that I can make it through the storm once I can make it through it again and again until the lord tells me it is my time to let go.

But for now I will be caution and try not to be so reckless while living with so much risk and love and good energy for I’m on a journey where I’m not ready to let go and I just want to keep going up and to never feel like I’m falling again.

To leave

would be great as you get on the boat and finally leave behind the view you’re no longer in love with.

To walk away with a smile on your face and to face change head on and no longer worry about the things you couldn’t change.

To breathe in and out the fresh air of freedom and finally be at peace and let the tension from your shoulders fall right off.

As you watch a new view, come into your life and you embrace the unknown with so much joy.
