Pain and darkness


We all go through dark times. But while pain is inevitable, it must be experienced, rather than escaped. Pain is often an indication that something must change, and the truth of it has to be wholeheartedly embraced. This is something we all struggle with. So how do we do it?
1. Find the courage to be yourself, and understand that you are a work in progress, not a finished product. 2. Be proud of your growth, humble about your weaknesses, and compassionate about your mistakes. 3. Don't be afraid to reintroduce yourself to those who think they have you figured out - you are not the same person you were yesterday. 4. Speak your truth and express your heartfelt wishes - you matter and you are worthy regardless of what you do or don't do. 5. The only limitations are those you impose on yourself - so start practicing positive self talk. 6. Break through your invisible barriers and go on to something better, knowing you are now better for having gone through the pain too.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
