If the mountain seems too big today  then climb a hill instead; If morning brings you sadness  it’s okay to stay in bed.  If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,  There’s no shame in rearranging,  don’t make yourself feel worse. If a shower stings like needles  and a bath feels like you’ll drown; If you haven’t washed your hair for days,  don’t throw away your crown! A day is not a lifetime. A rest is not defeat. Don’t think of it as failure, Just a quiet, kind retreat.  It’s okay to take a moment From an anxious, fractured mind. The world will not stop turning While you get realigned! The mountain will still be there When you want to try again You can climb it in your own time, Just love yourself till then!                                              ...

Breaking dawn with fire in her soul, She makes another day go by. Looking onward to the sky, As she feels her beating heart weaving breaths of gold, Battling demons yet another day, Yielding sometimes only to ask for more pain When the day will come, She prays to use her gifts for purpose When will the night burn bright with happiness she yearns to provide. All that she sees is another wound on her side. Carrying her burdened shoulders she awakens to another dawn, Listening to the same songs and hoping to catch her next ride.

Oh pure and loving heart, how I have tangled you! Made you strong and made you big You were easy and I knew you back then, But now, I have opened you up to so much, And I know not where you start and where you end.

I make my own path and find my space. I spotted you, a wanderer seeking solace. I waited for you to direct me with your instructions. Instead, you left me to my transgressions. You controlled me with your silence and your two-word messages, Easy to push a button and do a Houdini-disappearance.   All I ever wanted, was for you to stay. It was clear, you didn't want me, I was in your way. Breaking me down when I ran to you like pouring rain. But, I recognized your hatred from a mile away, I always wondered if you felt the same way. With child-like innocence, I gave in and let you play. You told me that you didn't have time to lose. My heart was never enough for you. What about the times that you didn't care?  If I was alive, dead, or just plain scared. How could you be so intense with someone, when you really didn't need them, after you're done. I broke my own rules to follow your tracks When you were lonely, I let you ...

When I first began to learn, I was distraught with challenges I faced; You inspired me to pursue the best,  And to reject the commonplace;  Your ideas opened new vistas, and now I clearly see;  You helped me to seek what I was looking for, And to let go of complacency; I am eternally grateful for all you have done, Those lessons, I'll never outgrow;  Your presence made a positive impact on me, To you, all my achievements, I owe!
