Your potential...
"You are more than your thoughts, your body or your feelings. You are a swirling vortex of limitless potential who is here to shake things up and create something new that the universe has never seen." - Dr. Richard Bartlett |
Quest...
QUEST Take me past the guarded place in you where confusion covers itself in unrelenting confidence then marches on In lively steps Take off the façade let it fall away into nowhere Turn around and face me I search the infinite depth where beyond all entrenchments I find your thirst to be met and understood the sadness in your bones, the want of your silent cries to be heard and be known— abiding within those unseen landscapes is a world of precious dreams Let me touch where the battle wounds lie quietly healing— Buried beneath an armored sheath rests a lifetime of love and loneliness, blame and triumph, honor and defeat Within this blended web of scars and treasures, glistening with honesty, there you are— I found you, beneath the soldier’s plated heart So loosen the knots around my own see all its agony bared and mending and in between each open space we’ll breathe upon the frailty All the wishful longings to be had bring to me yours as I meet you there with mine. ~by Susan Frybort. |
You're Allowed to Leave...
“If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave.” ― Mo Willems. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t find yourself in. You’re allowed to leave any story you don’t love yourself in. You’re allowed to leave a city that has dimmed your light instead of making you shine brighter, you’re allowed to pack all your bags and start over somewhere else and you’re allowed to redefine the meaning of your life. You’re allowed to quit the job you hate even if the world tells you not to and you’re allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and to the rest of your life. You’re allowed to leave someone you love if they’re treating you poorly, you’re allowed to put yourself first if you’re settling and you’re allowed to walk away when you’ve tried over and over again but nothing has changed. You’re allowed to let toxic friends go, you’re allowed to surround yourself with love, and people who encourage and nurture you. You’re allowed to pick the kind of energy you need in your life. You’re allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes and you’re allowed to be kind to yourself, you’re allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see. You’re allowed to set yourself free from your own expectations. We sometimes look at leaving as a bad thing or associate it with giving up or quitting, but sometimes leaving is the best thing you can do for yourself. Leaving allows you to change directions, to start over, to rediscover yourself and the world. Leaving sometimes saves you from staying stuck in the wrong place with the wrong people. Leaving opens a new door for change, growth, opportunities and redemption. You always have the choice to leave until you find where you belong and what makes you happy. You’re even allowed to leave the old you behind and reinvent yourself... By Rania Naim |

Black lights...
she has absinthe in her skin, that which intoxicates my sins. she is the healing of a goddess, that cauterizes these grievous wounds which bleed. she is the grave i have begged for, she is the death that i need. there are roses in her blood and thorns surround her heart, there is chaos in her eyes, and her lips breath new art. as my souls swan dives from new heights , she will be the glorious ending to this lonely life, i will be her darkness and she will be my light. Poetry by: { C.w.V } |
