Torn
By Lady Arabella
When your head tells you no ,but your heart says give them one more chance
When you’re sick of the revolving dance
When you know it’s not fair on somebody else
And now nothing makes sense
When you want to say enough is enough
But your heart feels that’s too tough
Where do you go when you feel torn
When you know you just want and deserve to be adorn
Why are emotions so messed up
They just can’t help but interrupt
Your thinking, your wants and when things make sense
It all becomes so intense
Why do these things take up so much of your thoughts
Confusion is all that it’s ever bought
Going away didn’t mean forgetting
By Lady Arabella
Going away didn’t mean forgetting or that i would miss you less
Instead it was a way of putting your words to the test
And yet when it occurred you failed to maintain the things you said
To think once you consumed the thoughts inside my head
Going away didn’t mean forgetting it just meant I knew I deserved more
And I didn’t know how that would turn out and wasn’t fully sure
But going away allowed me to see things in a new light
Allowed me to stop, step back and no longer put up a fight
Going away didn’t mean I forgot , it just meant I had time to see things more clear
Away from the hurt , second guessing and fear
But going away didn’t mean forgetting
It just meant new paths opened and it’s now not just all give and never getting
Going away didn’t mean forgetting
There’s no more time or room for regretting
So no , going away didn’t mean forgetting
But I was never one for just bare minimum and settling
Love , kindness & courage
By Lady Arabella
Love kindness and courage all free to give
Nobody knows the life other people live
A listening ear and a hand to hold
All you need to watch a story unfold
Life is hard , there's no harm in a helping hand
We all need someone willing to understand
Love, kindness and courage they all come for free
Well maybe to some degree..
Those who are kind and love all risk being hurt
Sometimes it’s something we can’t avert
But don't let your kindness, love and courage be taken away
Let your light shine today
Embrace the pain it may cause
But Don't you ever stop or press pause
Share love , kindness and courage in all you do
And never be afraid to just be you
Music is the dance of life
By lady Arabella
Reggae , soul, soco , pop,punk and rock
Listening to the beat of music which makes your body drop and lock
The freedom it brings as it flows
As the baseline drops and you just let go
The story line it can tell as you listen to the lyrics
The concept and relation conceived as beyond- metempirics
Music is the dance of life
Amongst many us in this world it’s one similarity that is rife
Hip hop, electro, jazz and rhythm and blues
Music allows everyone to walk in someone else’s shoes
As the rhythm flows
So do our souls
As the pace of the tempo goes slow and then gets quicker
Hearts can race and your feet like a flame begin to flicker
Music is the dance of life
In a world so consumed with trouble and strife
It brings people together and accompanies others like Homophony
A euphoria that for self can think you have Autophony
Music is the dance of life no matter how far you wander or where you may go
With music in life there’s always a way to two-step into tomorrow
music is the dance of life that can create the foundations of a new dynamic
Regardless of peoples demographics
Phase 4 -The Glow Up
By Lady Arabella
Anger , hurt , tears are but a few
Of the stages you process too
Before you can let phase 4 break through
See confidence is a stain they can’t wipe away
Even if it got lost some days
Phase 4= do what and with who I wanna do
Phase 4 = my peace is no longer found with you
Phase 4= it’s all about me
Phase 4= I can be whoever I choose to be
Phase 4 = I make no apologies for how I choose to act
Phase 4= I no longer apologise for its impact
Phase 4= I know who I am and what I deserve
Phase 4= I fully see my worth
And oh what a journey it was to get to where I now stand
And guess what I didn’t need anyone to hold my hand
Turns out there is nothing I can’t withstand
The crown may slip but it will never fall
My throne awaits and the people call
Because this queen can and always will
There’s no time for standing still
Phase 4 is now well underway
And I don’t care anymore what anyone has to say
Because it’s my life and I’ll do it my way
New love
By lady Arabella
I found a new love when I wasn’t even searching
During summer days , and the season of birds singing in the trees whilst perching
I found a new meaning to words I’d long forgotten
As the core of my heart had turned ripe and the pieces left rotten
I found a new love , at the same time I was finding my way
As my soul and body yearned for new opportunities and a better day
I found a new love that’s one I cannot quite compare
One that elevates me to want to become more self aware
I’ve found a new love that is stronger than I’ve ever felt
described by Holger Herwig as “almost delicate” and by Tuchman as “svelte
I’ve found a new love that brings me so much joy
One I’ll be dammed I’ll let anyone destroy
I’ve found a new love and it’s simple you see
As the new love I found has been found within me
Like A Phoenix I Rise
By lady Arabella
Like a Phoenix in the ashes I rise above
With a heart full of kindness and love
Reborn from the pieces left broken
From the words that were left unspoken
But like a Phoenix I recuperate
In order to refocus and renovate
Even the strongest can combust and can go up in flames
There’s no need to feel shame
Instead learn the lesson it’s trying to teach
Read these words that are there to preach
And like a Phoenix rise from the ashes
Let your truth speak to the masses
Don’t hide behind the past and place blame
Just ensure you’re no longer the same
Like a Phoenix let yourself be re born again
Don’t dwell on you’re deign
Come back from it fiercer than ever
Ensure it’s ties you sever
Let it all go up in flames
Watch it burn as you fight to reclaim
Like a Phoenix learn to soar high and become reborn
It’s your time to be adorn
So rise and learn to fly above
Remember during this time the importance of self love
Like a Phoenix from the ashes, it’s time to start over
Remember this is your time for a changeover

Hey so I didn't write this poem... At all. My best friend did and she asked me to put it up on here. Her name is Arabella Arnell and you can read this poem and more on her writing sites. Wattpad (bandhoez9194) and archiveofourown (ArabellaHorayne). Please feel free to comment what you think, and I'll show it to her.

I've talked about darkness
I've talked about pain
I've talked about demons
and I've talked about bloodstain.
but the thing that sheds light
on our bleak and painful world
is the beautiful sound of life
which makes our pain unfurled.
A single peal of delight
a flow of steady sound
an escape from the demons
in a world we can't be found.
It makes my heart race
It makes my heart hurt.
It makes my soul shudder
It makes my soul avert.
People don't understand
People don't really care
They don't see the warmth
They only see the flair.
This magical world of sound
This warm place of hope
It always gets skipped over
Just like a child's jump rope.
Music is my home
Music is my red.
Without music today
I would probably be-
My name is Arabella
And I’m really such a girly
I like to wear nice dresses
And my hair is blonde and curly
With underwear by Reger
And Prada on my feet
Made up to perfection
I give all the men a treat
My perfect breasts the envy
Of the women that I see
They look me up and down
And, they wish that they were me
I’m very nearly faultless
And quite soon with any luck
I’ll have the money saved
So I can have the nip and tuck
