Inner Strength

In the very early hours of the morning, when the dew is heavy on the ground, and the fog adds mystery to the empty roads: one can find a special serenity. Reflection of the years gone by or the beginning thoughts.

Like the dawning of this day, you recall the uncertaintites yet know the sun will shine through. Oh, not when your young, age is coupled with wisdom and many things that broke your heart or caused you stress almost brings laughter now, cause you doubled in yourself to allow the turmoil. I am filled with thoughts of what my dad would say:( whats seems so bad today will be better tomorrow and different in a month and a year from now you will wonder why did I get so upset.) He was right, and I think how hard we can make life because it is different now a days. But so much in life has to be experienced to understand , appreciate, and bring the peace to yourself. When you relize all the inner strength you have.

As the fog is clearing. I feel a contentment. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I know no matter who says what or does whatever I control weather it will be sad and bad or simple use my inner strength: cause life is as good or bad or hard or easy as you let and make it be. And it is as simple as that. When you like yourself no ones words can hurt or bring you down.

Here is the sun and I have a day to live and make the most of, so those of you who are young trust me you have the inner stregth ,and to those my age we share the happiness, and to those older I hear and understand your wisdom now.

My Version of Love

Love is a feeling that touches parts of your heart that
no one before put meaning to. It’s an incredable feeling
of knowing that a person does care enough to put your
feelings and dreams something special in their life to
live out with you. It’s having that one person you can
talk about anything to and always reaching the rainbow,
the love should be enough to keep it in tact. It’s understanding
each does but making the most of what they choose to share.
It’s give and take, it’s doing unto them as you’d want done to you.
It’s knowing the reasons and things felt that brought you together
are strong and important and necessary. It isn’t the amount of
time, it is the genuine,felt,quality effert put when it can be. It’s hard,
giving eachother the satisfaction of knowing this is mine.
Its feeling of contentment, cry, you know they feel the same inside

My Box

Someone told me you have to write what you
know. To open your heart and go for it. I know
I am a women who is so very lost inside the
world I made for myself. There are days I feel
I am In a box with no air. And other day's
I am screaming and no one hears. There is
no one to blame for this life but myself. I
choose to stay a step behind.For I feel safe in my
little box that has no air. The next step has to come
from me, my heart. As most, I wonder if my
heart is what keeps putting up these walls.
But how to breck them down? See out there
scares me, not knowing scares me, being alone
scares me. Not knowing terrifies me. At least here
in my little world once you get past the yelling,
screaming, being alone, it is what I know, it is
where I feel the safest. So be careful as you go forth
in this life because there is a chance you
may just build a room like mine. Live life to the fullest
and take the chances given do not end up in a box like mine.
