Endometriosis

This pain is not my fault 
I was just unlucky
It brings my life to holt
Each stabbing pain, twisting ache
Strikes as hard as a lightening bolt
This cramping is so hard to shake 
Endometriosis is its name
We're not playing this is no game
It takes away so many things 
Each person its sorrow it brings
To know what we go through
If you only knew 
You see sometimes we can't do much 
Apart from lay in the fetal position 
People judge as such 
Oh she has that condition 
Never fully understanding just what it takes to paint her face
And show the world she's not a waste of space.
So to you fellow endo sisters 
Out there 
Your not your illness
Your beautifully flawed and are so very strong
We are here for each other in this mess
I'm sorry this poem is very long 
So I hope these words have helped you know. Each time you get told your lazy, making it up 
go and prove them wrong 
We are survivors and we know 
That this awareness for this condition should grow 

From one endo sister to another with love ??????

The Little Things That Leave Us Enchanted An

Magic is real, if you only look
It's in the chapter of your fave book
It is the glisten, of gentle rain 
Upon your window pane
It is that first morning coffee
It's the one you wake up to see
It's the love that never breaks
And the soft sponge cakes we make 
You see magic is all around us 
In all the little things 
When a little bluebird sings 
And the smile you always bring
When you kiss that love you've waited for, you feel those sparks forevermore
And you look upon the sunsets glow 
You see there's magic everywhere you go
The gentle whoosh of the waves in the sea 
The way you look at me
The touch upon your gentle face
As I know you were blessed by gods own grace 
So tenderly we go about our day, taking things so little for granted
Why must we when it leaves us so enchanted

You Are Loved By Me


do I deserve to be loved? 
A question you all ask inside
The fear of rejection you hide
You need to know 
In these words I show
There's so many people who love you 
If you only knew 
That the love you seek
It's in the words you speak 
Kindness and joy
It's in the way you act all coy
You see your loved 
By us and those above 
Just open your eyes to see
How much you mean to me
No one is ever alone
You see god is our home 
And in him we find faith and hope 
To find ways to cope 
You are not the bad words others speak 
Or in the tears that leak
Your in your strength and resilience 
Don't let your light be diminished 
Your story is not yet finished 
Your days will get better 
Because my dear you matter
I hope you read these words and see 
You are already loved by me

The Revelation of Us

Here is my revelation,
I look at you with intrigue in my eyes. 
When I say it, please don't deny.
Loving you is tangible.
But not loving you is impossible 
I find it hard to navigate, my feelings for you 
But I know they're true
My spontaneous mind
Throws caution to the wind
You see I look upon your fixation
The way you look at me 
I know you see it too 
We must give in to this temptation 
Please don't patronise the way I love 
You were sent from a portal from above 
Your an angel in disguise 
And now your forever in my life 
Loving you, forever mine, forever rhymes

Only Your Eyes

See the way your eyes sparkle with love 
See how you you give hope like a dove 
With each act of kindness you give 
You give people a reason to live 
With each passing moment you smile 
You warm so many hearts for miles 
Your so very special to me 
Your inner beauty I see 
I see how good your heart is pure 
Your laughter is the ultimate cure 
A bad day seems to wash away 
When we heard you chuckle today 
Don't think at all 
Il always be there to catch you when I fall

A Reminder of All the Magic Around

Magic is in your fingertips 
It's in the dancers hips
It's in your gorgeous smile
It's driving for miles 
To see the one you love 
It's in the sky above
When the sunset kisses the sand 
It's the helping hand 
And the gentle warm embrace 
Of a grandmothers grace
It's the love shared between two strangers
It's protecting someone from danger
It's the autum leaves that fall 
Upon the ground
It's listening to the song 
And the way the music sounds 
It's the warming up besides a cosey fire
It's the people that inspire
It's a gentle kiss 
It's that person you miss 
Each day is full of joy 
And sadness 
You just need a reminder 
To look really hard and you will find her 
Among the things like this 
Magic is believing 
And showing 
Kindess, I wish 
So go forth and spread your magic and cheer 
And never be afraid of fear

It Was Fate

Never forget kissing away the pain 
As we watch the sunset again 
Both of us were never the same 
It was fate that was to blame 
Hand in hand at midnight 
Nothing but the moonlight 
To light up our way 
What a beautiful way 
To spend our time to together 
I just wished this moment could last forever 
Our love just continues to grow 
You see I don't think you know 
What you've done to me 
I didn't think I'd ever be this happy 
That someone would come crashing into my life and show me I needed love 
That I start to believe you were sent from above 
Each passing day, with the words we say 
I know with you in my life these skies will never be grey 
Your the light in my dark 
You ignited that spark 
Kept me from falling into the deep pit of despair 
With all the little ways you showed you cared 
It was hard at first to let it show 
They often say when you know you know 
And my heart instantly knew 
As my capacity for love instantly grew 
I finally could see
That your the one for me 
All the late night crying alone 
All the times I had no place to call home 
Were wash away in the summer rain 
All my past heartache and pain 
Was washed away 
With each word you'd say 
You'd make me feel 
That my love was real 
I just wished I could have met you sooner 
Because I could of loved you longer 
I've waited for a long time 
To have someone I could call mine 
But these words I say 
May help you to see someday 
That I love you with every beat of my heart 
Each passing day that we're apart 
We miss our chance to be together 
But maybe one day it can be forever 
That I will realise that love is worth fighting for 
That the feelings won't go away if we ignore 
Maybe I'm stupid and weak 
But I know that my future with you in it is far from bleak 
So tell me to go away 
Or tell me to stay 
Forget the tears 
And embrace your fears 
Because anything worth having doesn't come easy see 
Just how much you really mean to me

Unrequited Love

As soon as I open my eyes 
I look for you
Only to realise 
Your not there, it was just dream 
I die a little inside 
As know you don't feel the same as me 
It's so very clear to see 
But that doesn't stop me thinking of you 
As I hear your voice, it melodic tone I hear 
I just wished you were so very near 
I don't think you know how much you do 
The way you tell your own truth
Makes me fall you 
Your such a sweetheart 
Don't you see
How much from others it sets you apart 
I don't know why you'd steal my heart 
But all I want is for you is happiness 
Even if that is not with me 
As I say with such great sadness 
I'm glad to love you, you see 
It doesn't matter if you don't feel the same 
You helped me to love again 
You came to me like Angel 
When I was in so much pain 
As my heart began to mend 
I was glad to have you even as just a friend.
I care about you in every way 
These words are mine to display 
For every time I hear you say 
Those beautiful words to me 
I'm reminded of your loving way
And my mind and heart both agree 
You mean so very much to me

Beauty More Than Skin Deep

Tell me something you like about me 
Is it something I can't see 
You tell me beauty is more than skin deep 
So why do these harsh words I keep 
Telling myself I am weak
As I lay again and cry myself to sleep 
They say we are not the words others say 
But you find they have a tendency to stay 
Thriving off your pain 
Till it drives you nearly insane 
Don't let others rent space in your mind 
Just know your heart is kind 
Your so much more than what people say 
Your amazing in all your imperfect ways 
Each moment your heart beats means there's a reason 
That your pain won't last all season 
That you will be stronger 
It just means it will take you a little longer

How Do You Know You'Re Alive

How do you know your alive? 

I know first and foremost I am alive because my heartbeat says so 
because we all have the tenacity to grow 
We know we're alive because we love 
Our hearts have the capacity to love one another 
We help each other 
To see a shiny light 
A light of hope when we lose sight 
We share in our pain and blessings 
Theres so many things
To show we're alive 
It's the melodic tones when they sing 
It's in all the beautiful things 
Like a sunset view upon the beautiful ocean sea 
Like the moments shared between you and me 
Take it all in and see 
That you are alive just like me 
Pain is an emotion that we feel 
That's how we know how we are real 
It's that first kiss when you kiss your lover 
It's when your kind to another 
It's the cold air blowing against your skin so cold 
It's when you have someone to hold 
To be safe in someone's arms like it's home 
It's staying connected by the phone 
It's the souls you meet when you know 
That you were meant to cross each other and show 
That you are there for each other 

Each day you wake up 
Feeling the soft warm glow of the suns rays 
When the future seems a little grey 
It's the way you look at me 
It's the moment you bend on one knee 
When. You make me realise I'm alive 
When you tell me you love me 
Those beautiful words we've come to believe 
When we said I love you 
Those feelings can't be understand 
I go on and on explaining the reasons I I know I'm alive 
But the most important one I know 
Is because of you 
Your the reason for me 
The one thing that tells me I'm alive 
Our love is here and I'm ready to dive 
So that is my explanation 
So many emotions
