"SUDDENLY YOU'RE RIPPED INTO BEING ALIVE AND LIFE IS PAIN, AND SUFFERING AND LIFE IS HORROR...BUT MY GOD, YOU'RE ALIVE AND LIFE IS SPECTACULAR"
we don't choose life,
it's automatic.
we don't choose pain,
it's instilled through
circumstance.
but we can choose to
live positively through
gratitude.
-optimism
-ambition
-faith...

“I can’t be what you want me to be
my heart can’t follow your rules
I am born free with my opinion
and I am not perfect like others
but I am glad, I have the zest
to strive for excellence and in life
achieve my goals that I dream of…..”

Quote Prompt II - Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Laura Loo
Ask advice from they of whom it seems
All is as it should be and you risk
Provoking as it were the revelation
That nothing’s ever what it seems to be.
For the wise are not known by their words
Questions are answered with riddles
Befuddling with smug obfuscation
So just do as they do. Or don’t.
I used to think an eye for an eye,
when people didn't talk but bite,
but then I got to thinking more,
do two wrongs make a right for sure,
And when it comes to keeping score,
do holding grudges help me more,
that's why I should forgive and forget,
instead of playing mind game roulette.

"I have dug my way out the ground with palm and fist many times- my whole life has been one burial after another; I will find my way out of you just fine."
--rupi kaur
no one will steal my dignity...
nothing can break my walls-
I've learned that being with
you strengthens my
determination to let go-
tediousness leaves unbelievable
destruction-
destruction left when I walked away....

"All my fears look like you; you sleep within all my sleepless nights, stretch into the spaces- I shrink inside"
-rupi kaur
wide awake in my nightmares
you creep and crawl-
I can't sleep at all-
night tremors encompassed by fear-
daybreak saves...

"You must have known you were wrong when your fingers dipped inside me searching for honey that would not come for you."
-rupi kaur
searching endlessly for sweetness
you crowded my reasons for letting you go-
sudden heartbreak leaves no room for
sugarcoated delicacies.
-my flavorless goodbyes...
Fictional Write- I love my hubby :)

"I will not let you go into the unknown alone."
side by side-
carrying each other through
unsung obscurity...
hand in hand-
we weather the storms
in uncharted territory
-mysterious love...

Quote Prompt:
"How is it so easy for you to be kind to people?" he asked...
Milk and honey dripped from my lips and I answered,
"cause people have not been kind to me."
-rupi kaur
I've been swept into the depths of hell and back-
seen sights of cruelness beyond life's recognition,
and yet-
here I stand tasting life, as sweet as honey-
mercilessness creates virtuous benevolence...
