We are all just trying our best;

Sleeping, but never knowing rest,

This is why we should be kind

To one another.

Everyone’s pain is undercover,

As we try to survive

And smile at the same time.

May it taste like wild honey suckles

And feel as soft as petunia petals

This life that you are living.

I wish you light and laughter so real

That your smile reaches your ears

Let the years be kind to you

My Darling.

I desire to dance in the in between;

For all the areas of my little life to be in order,

Yet not bear the burden of keeping everything in it’s place.

The weight of simplicity is anything but simple,

I wish to rest somewhere in the middle.

Letting God hold it all together

Sounds a lot better

than trying to do it all

on my own.

I would rather let go of people that do not love me

Than lose any more parts of myself trying

to make them see something in me

they were never meant to see

from the start.

I don’t want to write emails, I want to gather a long skirt in my hands and stand with my feet in the river.

[memoirofme]

I was scared to leave my porch steps,

As if the coldness of the world could swallow me whole;

So I leapt across state lines,

My hands kissed their welcome signs,

And my soul sang with their passing.

The reflections of my ghosts in the rearview

never thought I’d leave them behind.

I looked to the sky and asked to leave my little town

And woke up beneath Virginia stars;

When the old ways die away,

New life is never far.

Imagine just how it will feel— years from now,

when once upon many times you thought you’d never make it to where you are today.

It will be lovely, and weightless; so different than all the days before that you spent fighting;

And now, finally.. you’ll feel as strong as you’ve always been,

Darling, you just didn’t know it yet.

Our lives were never meant to be a cycle,

Where we wake up just to look forward to sleep;

It’s the smiling faces that are facing silent war-zones,

And why we should be kind to the strangers we meet.

We all want healing to be a process that happens over night,

As if we could speed up our problems disappearance in our sleep,

So we don’t have to feel the mending, the mourning,

Nor the pieces pulling themselves back together.

I’m stubbornly coming to learn that is a soft process, a slow one,

One that demands to be felt, so we must let it;

Then and only will then will we witness ourselves grow, heal—

From the broken parts of ourselves we just needed to accept.

I hope I never hear a bird’s song and get annoyed by it,

No matter how early the morning, nor the lack of coffee I’ve had.

May I never forget how beautiful this world can be,

And my problems never weigh me down too far from happiness

That can be found in a lovely bird’s song.

Allowing tomorrow to worry about itself,

Along side with letting go of that control

Have been two of the best choices I’ve made

In this growing season of mine;

I find myself smiling,

Like the sadness was never

A part of me in the first place.

This is my wish for you

Through all of my troubles,

I remember the gift I’ve been given.

The sun reminds me with her morning light,

As I open my eyes and take my first breath.

Every day is a chance to make this life

Something extraordinarily beautiful;

All we have to do is get out of bed.

Isn’t it beautiful,

That no matter how far we fall

We always fly out of our sorrows

Stronger than we were before,

Lifted up by the hands of time

Intertwined with love and healing.

The best metaphor I can find about life is how a rock is weathered-

Chipped and changed over years from the force of the rolling ocean.

Our hardships shape us as a pebble from a tide,

Every person and bad day,

The moments that made us smile when we least expected it.

Our lives are the waves, and you and I are everything in between.

[memoirofme]

I am drawn to people that build walls around their hearts,

as if I could paint them over in yellows and golds

to make them feel as if there’re more than their sadness.

People become convinced behind those walls

that they’re not worth the love that I wish to show them.

[memoirofme]

Instead of all the eggs in one basket,

Don’t put all your love into a single soul,

Because if they go, you’ll never know

And who can live with an empty heart

Without falling apart and into the same one

That ran away with all your love from the start
