Just let it go. . .

You've been through so much So many ups and downs You've given your love But never like the way it turned out You closed off your heart  And you carried the weight Like a million rocks on your shoulders But you don't have to wait for an apology Or for someone else to make amends When you can remember That your healing is in your hands You go through life with expectations, From yourself and from others. When things do not go as you planned, you look for people or circumstances to blame. But you know what? I can tell you that what may seem like some kind of sloppy arrival at a destination you never dreamed of being in - is exactly the right place where you are meant to be. You will come to a realisation where you stop blaming all the bad things that happen on your life on anything, everything anyone and everyone.  Just trust that you are being lead to what feels like darkness right now, so that you recognise your own lifht once it is time to shine. When you have been hurt in...

The story. . .

All of these lines across my face Tell you the story of who I am So many stories of where I've been And now I've got to where I am But these stories don't mean anything When you've got no one to tell them too It's true, I was made for you Do people really know who you are? Since before COVID-19 hit there has been a steady increase of deaths in my part of the world. People I know. People I barely know. People I don't know. People who insistent on people that I should know. Are you a good listener? Do you know the stories that are etched across my face? I bet you don't know, I bet you'll never know. If you had the time to sit and listen, I would tell you stories. I would tell you stories that you wouldn't believe happened to me. Stories that you thought, no, you're joking. That sounds more like a Hollywood movie than your life, And I would laugh, I would. Not because it was funny, But because it's more true than you would ever know. I've st...

I don't know how it feels to be u. . . .

I don't know, I don't know how it feels to be u Though I try my best to understand what you're going through I don't know how it feels to be u Does anyone ever know how it feels to be you? I think we can get ourselves into a whole lot of pain and whole lot of trouble if we think that we can find a perfect someone who understands us, completely, and wants to know our whole being. People that go around promising such things should be shot. They try to make reassurances and promises that they cannot keep. That kind of absolute guarantee should be outlawed and that way, you can avoid having your heart broken into a million pieces when you leave it all out there for someone to pick up. How can you rely on someone to try their best to understand you when you know they do not fully understand who they are first as an individual, before they can try to start committing to you? Though I try to learn your steps I don't know what makes you dance I don't know what turns you...

Been so long. . .

Oh yeah, crazy how right out of the blue I bumped into you today And I forgot the reasons why  Why I went away? You never quite know how to deal with a situation, especially when you run into an old flame. You're not quite sure if you are able to be civil and reconnect in an appropriate way.  For the most part you could find things difficult because of the current environment you are in and friends make things difficult. Regardless of them trying to figure out how you are feeling, they are intent on doing other things instead that cause you to question whether they are emotionally mature to handle you having space or just being able to be yourself in that situation. Instead they try to make themselves part of the narrative that is not actually theirs to tell. Funny how fate opens the door And destiny walks in The only thing that I know for sure Exactly how long it's been It would stand to reason that if you never crossed paths again it would be too soon. How does fate play a p...
