the moon lingers
as your shadow
dances in twilight
echoing
my very own

I miss you

I try
to find you
in all the colors
of a sunrise
inside the whispers
of the wind
between the here
and now
as the silence
fills the ticking
of the clock
please just know
that wherever you are
I miss you
and I wish
that you
were still here
The real you

Life can be a dramatic show at times, a stage full of actors, pretending to be someone they aren’t. Lights, camera, action. When the curtains raise we seem to always be searching for the right mask to hide behind. A fake smile to present to the world so everyone thinks we are okay, trying to be the perfect person society wants us to be. Perfection is only an illusion that tells you you are less than. It’s the false representation of life and yourself. None of us are perfect.
You are meant to walk the path that makes you feel whole. Whatever that path is in your eyes. You don’t need permission from anyone to be your true self. Do it unapologetically. Shatter those expectations of society. Plant the seeds within yourself and watch them bloom into something that is so beautiful and has always been so beautiful. Your true authentic self.
I want the real, honest and raw YOU. The one that is perfectly imperfect. The one with scars, pain, darkness, struggles, happiness, sadness, hopes and dreams. That’s the YOU I want. The real you.
Let go and dance before the song is over.
Through time
oh my love
how I want
to kiss
the soft whispers
of your beating heart
through time
and space
until the end
of eternity
Just be you
Be who you are. Who you truly are, whatever that may be. Be the strong, fierce human that you were created to be. You are unlike anyone else on this earth, unique and one of a kind. A beautiful work of art. A type of magic that only foolish people can’t see. A dreamer with a soul that is bound to set the world on fire. A star in this dark world. A lover, a fighter, a caring and a perfectly imperfect being.
Live into your values. Find your truth, your REAL truth. We all know who we truly are deep down inside. Don’t be afraid to show the world who YOU are. Be strong and accept the battles that you’ve had to walk through just to be here today. Wear your scars with pride and shine like the beautiful diamond that you are.
Whatever and whoever you are, down to your core, to the depths of your very being, be that.
Just be that
Just be you

Time
I slowly freeze
the moments
of you and I
one by one
capturing the memories
inside my mind
before they rush by
we are only
but a fleeting
second in time
only a blink
of an eye
this is what
I will hold on to
before you and I
turn to dust
and vanish
into the universe
Who you are

I hope that when you look into the mirror, that you remind yourself of what you are and what you are not.
You are not the mistakes of your past, or the bad circumstances that have happened to you. You are not what society says you should be. You are not the opinion of others.
You are strength and courage. You are to be seen, to be heard and to be respected. You are a special. You are the most beautiful soul on this earth. Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Be confident in your own skin, be worthy, because you are. I SEE YOU.
At times
at times
it feels like
a thousand stars
colliding and bursting
inside of you
filling the entirety
of your soul
setting every inch
of your flesh
on fire
and at times
as if you
could fall quietly
between the cracks
of the earth
into the void
of the unknown
easily fading away
into the darkness
forever
Beautiful You
You are amazing. A beautiful human, every man and every woman. Though our souls may at times set in darkness, remember that it will always rise in light. A balance of the in between, soaking up both. That is what makes us human and as I say, perfectly imperfect.
We all are a stunning mystery, and carry the weight of the world on our shoulders each and every single day. Trying to live up to expectations and what others say we need to be. Trying to find our place in this world, when all it wants to do is keep you in a box.
This is your reminder of how beautiful you truly are. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. Look more than what any mirror will show you. The surface is only a small part of who you truly are. It’s the truth in the depths of you that is what matters the most. You are a work of art, beautifully painted and not by accident. Every beautiful part of you was created with a purpose.
You will only know who you truly are, when you learn who you are not. Be you. Be beautifully you. I see you.

I wish
I wish
I were stitched
to your soul
clinging
to your bones
so we could
always be together
you and I
