Finding balance and strength 

I hear the sound of the world outside  As I try to find balance in my life  I have always struggled to get by  I have never stopped asking myself why  I have made the decisions I have so far  Then I reflect and tell myself  This is who you are  With every step forward  … Continue reading Finding balance and strength 

Ripped apart

Live and learn they say  Why do we have to learn By being ripped apart Where does the pain end  When does this learning start  I do not believe these words are true  Each piece that is pulled from me  Is another piece gone  I was always this strong  What I have learned is how … Continue reading Ripped apart

No one left 

There are some things  I will never understand  A love I will never see  This was never meant for me  The type of love bonded through blood This is forever lost  I fill the void in other ways  Sometimes it has a cost  I can fill my mind with wishes  Dreams and hopes of love  … Continue reading No one left 

A lion who fears no one

When the walls cave in on me  When it is too dark to see  I feel the anger beneath my skin  It is part of the darkness buried within The rage pushes me forward  It gives me strength  I have reached a path  A path of no return  If you are in my gaze  You … Continue reading A lion who fears no one

When doors open 

Sometimes when you feel like you are about to split in half Someone comes along and points you towards a new path Sometimes doors do open When they were shut before Sometimes you can find someone That you completely adore When you feel like everything is caving in Sometimes a hand breaks through Holds on … Continue reading When doors open 

My guardians of the night 

I write these lines to my guardians  For the people who saved my life  I will never forget you  I owe my strength  I owe my hope in humanity  To each and every one of you  To those who have fought for me  For those who stood beside a lost child  For those who showed … Continue reading My guardians of the night 

I’m a dreamer 

With the ups and downs I see Hills and mountains laid out before me Here and there I find a path  Here and there I find a stream  Every now and then a valley  Like a story book from a dream I cherish these moments  They are rare  When I suffer I take myself there  … Continue reading I’m a dreamer
