Look! Do you see? The sun, oh no, a ray, oh, wait! It’s warm, it touched me. I felt it. It’s mood-lifting. My mind’s shifting. My heart’s not aching. What happened? I stop and wonder. What was that?

Words of awakening
EVERYONE WANTS
Everyone wants to speak and be heard because everyone needs reassurance of their worth reflected in others and in how captivated their audience is. Everyone wants to be heard but rarely to listen. They are seldom genuinely involved in what someone is saying because sharing THEIR insight is more valuable to them than the purpose … Continue reading EVERYONE WANTS
LOneVEly
Sometimes I take deep breaths, but I cannot breathe. Meeting you is a gamble between ‘I enjoy being alone’ and ‘I glow in your arms’. I throw the dice, tightly closing my eyes, hoping for the good ‘me’ to win. Have you ever loved something or someone like sharks crave blood? Have you ever … Continue reading LOneVEly
Wicked chill
In nights of freezing cold, Where moons turn to mold, To run away from the stinging grey, That stabs all life away.

I've heard of peace, of freedom, and letting go Of all your insecurities and woe, And I wondered where to go. But now, I'm trying something: I've … Continue reading Drops of Hope
Better, failure?
Time... life... yes, they both mean everything to us. It's true. It is. Because we are chasing...um… what exactly? I think we're looking for happiness or meaning, maybe a reason. Yes, a reason! A reason to get out of bed in the morning, to be motivated or at least in some sort of a need … Continue reading Better, failure?
I want to…
I want to be the happiest person I know, I want to look life in the eye, Not afraid, not telling lies, Transforming wounds into wisdom And tears into optimism. I want to be the happiest person I know So when my spirits are low, And everyone has gone, I can rest my mind and … Continue reading I want to…
