Saving Yourself

The is no greater lesson in life
than the realization that only you can save yourself;
from the drama
the pain and regret 
the words left unsaid 
- actions that cannot be erased 

Save yourself from the darkness 
the faceless demon that eats away at your youth 
it creeps in and sucks the life out of you 
your dreams once colourful 
now, empty and invalid 

Save yourself from the misery 
of loving people that don't reciprocate;
situations that leave you emotionally drained. 

save yourself from the anger and frustration 
the doubt and confusion 
of loving too soon, too passionately 

save yourself from the meltdowns.

#LOVELETTERS


Dear Soul,
learn to walk away from people
and situations that are toxic
to your physical and mental health
walk away from friendships and partnerships
that no loner feed your soul
that strip away your esteem
leaving you exposed to the elements of the world.

Dear Soul
learn to take care of yourself
pay attention to your thoughts
let them feed your growth
let them heal your soul

Dear Soul
make loving yourself a priority
whisper love songs
write poetry
dance
read
be happy
just let go
and live.

Words Heal


Words heal
words comfort my soul
when all is bleary
and the world is too loud
too demanding
too much

Words heal
words come to my rescue
they leap from the pages in my book
made love to my eyes
feed the cravings in my soul
and bandage the empty spaces
left behind by friends who stopped trying
and lovers who couldn't stop lying.

Words heal
words save
One day i will write about how words saved me

The Audacity of Hope

Hope and Heal 
Hope,
the one constant
when the world rages on
threatening to choke you

Hope,
when the walls of life are closing in
struggling to breathe

Don't stay broken
Hope
and heal
