Details | Victory Long Poem

When I was born, my life sucked. I wasn’t important, nobody really cared. Some bad things happened, and eventually it led me to you. I was only three, and didn't have much. Then you gave me a home, and became my family. You made me feel safe, and I was happy. I finally felt like I meant something to someone, I found self-worth because you made me feel as though I had value. Treated me with kindness and with care, as if I was your own. And I knew then, when you held me in your arms, that with youI am loved.

You were patient with me when I couldn’t understand. You stayed calm when I freaked out. You stayed strong through the struggle. You made me feel like I was enough when I was doubtful. All those nights I would cry, wishing I could be normal, to be like everyone else, just wanting to fit in. You hugged me and said that everything will go the way it’s supposed to. All those years I would take my anger out on you, didn’t change how much you loved me. But made me love you ten times more.

You gave me a life worth living, and I wouldn’t change anything. Because of you I wake up every morning, continuing my life that you gave me a shot at. Everytime you push me to be my best has made me stronger, and makes me better. I can’t imagine life without you, and not sure I’d make it without you. But I will always try harder and harder, in hopes that maybe one day I can give back some of all you’ve given me. I will always push myself to succeed, just to make you proud. Maybe one day I can give a better life, of which you are much more than deserving of.

I thank you for all you have done. For all the times you cheered me up when I was feeling grey. For all the opportunities you have given me. For pushing me to be a better person, so that I will get far in life. I will never choose for this to end, because you have given me something to love. I love you with all my heart, and that love will never end. You have done so much for me and there aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for you. Hopefully one day I can repay you for it all, though I doubt that is even possible. I am so much more than blessed to have you because you truly are better than the best.

I love you to the moon, the diamond stars, infinity and beyond…and then back again. To my universe, Momma Bear, Happy Birthday! And may all your wishes come true.

Memories - Plagued by Memories

Memories
The happy ones are sad
The sad ones hurt
Ones that leave doubt lingering about
Memories of pain that drives you insane
Memories.

I think of happy moments and want to go back
I try to make the best of my life
But the best times seem to only exist in the past

Sometimes memories of hate invade
I remember the words of those who hurt me
The things they said that I know weren’t true
But the feeling of betrayal still remains the same

And then there are ones I try hardest to forget
The painful memories that scar me with regret
Haunting my mind as they lurk in the shadows
Whispering images that leave me sorrow

Memories
Painful and cruel
Bringing heartache and heartbreak
Reminding you of the laughter 
Replaced with disaster
Memories.

Rainy Days

Everyone hates Rainy days
They’re so cold and grey
So why do they bring me peace?
How do they put my mind at ease?

The Storm matches my chaotic mind
Slowing things down so that I can unwind
The rain seems to borrow my pain
Allowing me to temporarily escape 
And the darkness caused by theses pouring days
It neutralizes the sour taste imbedded in my brain

The weather aids my temper
It tames my raging fire
Cooling my blazing embers
Causing my hatred to retire

They tend to my cold heart
Causing my mental storms to part
The rain washes out my internal darkness
Letting the light in
It cleanses the venom  
Running throughout my veins

Rainy days allow my head to rest
Relieving the weight that sits upon my chest
Steals that piercing heartache 
That has left too many scars
Healing the damage gained by all my mistakes

The rain wipes away the sorrow
Erases the tears rolling off my cheeks
Creating the chance for a new tomorrow
They purify all sadness left inside
Leaving joy in my mind
What's not to love about Rainy days?

Mandala

Time goes on,
Until it fades.
Victorian homes
Have now erased.

The world is spinning
We start forgetting 
Everything begins to change 
As we feel ourselves slipping away
Somehow we manage to stay
Just for another day
Because deep down,
Some things always remain the same.

The old is never truly gone…
It is simply buried deep inside
Hiding from the new world  
The world that has made you new

As we adapt to our growth
Our old personality
Disappears from our reality
But it will always a part of yourself
Even though they are someone we no longer know

At times we feel so full of emptiness 
When it is only the little things staying the same
While the rest of us continues to change
We look in the mirror and remember you
But it is not the same you, you’re looking at
That makes us sad, looking back
Realizing you don’t know who you actually are
You thought you knew yourself, but turns out it was a big lie

But nothing ever stays the same
Everything evolves and we begin to change
We adapt to the new ways
And at first you won’t understand
Confusion will overwhelm you 
You will notice your imperfections
And all the things you wish were different
But that is okay
Imperfect is your new way
That is what makes perfection

Moving On

How do you move on?
When you’ve lost your entire universe
In the blink of an eye they’re now gone
When all that is left is painful memories
How do you continue?

When your mind starts to fill with regret
And all you can think about is those last words you never ment
When you wish you could just take it all back
How do you stop the haunting of the past?

How do you wake up every morning to live another day?
When all you want to do is tell them I love you
And everyday feels dark, cold, and grey
Knowing you can’t remove all the hate
How do I move on?

Thankful And Even More Grateful

Thank you for my gratitude
I think of all the things you do
I think of all the things I have
I think of all the things I am

I am grateful for every time I’m sad
I am thankful for all the things, even the bad
Happy to have things that make me glad
Glad to have the things that make me mad

The fall, the leaves
All the colors within the trees
The rainy storms 
That aren’t as warm

The peace paired with the chaos
Silence amongst the sound
Growth in every struggle
All the things that make this world go round

For all the wonderful opportunities
Leaving heartfelt memories 
All of the beautiful families
The unity found in our diversities

I am thankful for my rage and hate
For all of my pain coursing through my veins
The anxious wreck sprouting from my worry
My nervous response that makes me scurry
All the bad that steers me to insanity 
Because with all the toxicity and insecurities
That stems from somewhere deep within me
Creates all of my beauties
My resilience, my confidence
And all of my bravery
It is what makes me strong
It is how I find my positivity

I am grateful for every experience
Even the worst ones to have ever had
That is what shapes who I am
And who I have yet to become

So bring on every obstacle you can
Because I will conquer and embrace
Not a single one I’d want to erase
I will accept and learn from every mistake
And no matter what I will not break
Because I look at the life I have today
I see how far I have come since yesterday
I look at all the things I’ve got going for me
And realize I wouldn’t want it any other way
There is not a single thing I wish to change
Because I love everything about today
And that's not possible without all of my yesterdays

Glass Dreams

My dreams are like glass
They both end in shatters
And both cause me to bleed

Glass creates visible wounds 
Easy to heal.
But the shattered dreams 
Hurt me where you cannot see

Instead of pain lying in my hands
It stabs at my heart 
Leaving more than just a scar

But both wounds,
Eventually, disappear
All that is left is the painful memory
The shadow of its injury

My false fantasies
A delusion of reality
Something that could never be
My longing for the impossibilities

My youth that began to bloom
Died when I learned to see.
The wave of logic and truth
Poisoned all my dreams

As each day flies by
And life continues on
Each dream is forgotten

And at times I’ll hear 
As they whisper inside my head
Talking about how things could’ve been
Sometimes it brings me to tears

Those beautiful glass dreams,
How they aren’t what they seem
But glass dreams aren’t meant to be
They will only make me bleed.
