Focus
Focus your thoughts on each moment.
Let go of the last.
Understand you will get to the future.
You are here, now.
Bring your focus in.

Peace
Breathe in peace.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in healing.
Breathe out fear.
Breathe in trust.
Breathe out….

Searching
For so long, I had hoped to find someone…
Someone to lean on,
Someone to talk to,
Someone to love…
For so long I thought that would be the answer, to get out of these storms, out of the depths of this open water.
Finally I learned…
It was never going to be someone…
It was never going to be a person…
It was just always going to be me…
For so long I had felt lost…
For so long, I thought I needed to be found…
Finally, I found myself.
Yet, I still linger, in this deep ocean, but no longer searching.
No longer lost.
No longer waiting fo someone to rescue me.
No longer waiting for someone to love me or to laugh with me.
I can laugh with myself.
I can love myself.
I am found.
I found me.

You are Safe
I see you,
Hurting and not telling anyone.
I see you,
Falling and falling, struggling to pull yourself back up.
I see you.
It’s okay.
It’s all going to be okay.
You are safe.

Promises to Myself
I promise to always be my best friend, for too long I have been my worst enemy.
I promise to stop thinking of myself as not enough, or too much, I am enough.
I promise to always allow laughter and joy, for a life lived too seriously is not an enjoyable life.
From now until my last breath, I promise to always share kindness instead of gossip.
If I ever forget any of these, may I quickly remember them, because without these promises, life just isn’t quite as good.

Don’t Stay
Don’t stay.
You can survive on your own.
You don’t need him.
You are capable without her.
If he puts you down, walk away.
If she hurts you again, shut that door.
Walk away.
Don’t stay.
Get out of town.
Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.
Do it for him.
Do it for her.
Most of all, do it for you.
Don’t stay.
-M.
Gone
There you were, walking in the fog.
We had been apart for so long.
It felt like a lifetime has passed by, since you’ve been gone.
Though, there was no embrace.
There was no tear in your eye, not even a drop that would make its way down your face.
It was as if you were different.
Your heart had changed.
My heart seemed to go silent, no longer could I feel its beat.
My lungs were waiting, desperately, hoping to again, soon, be able to breathe.
It was as if we could no longer be.
As I stood before you, there was a silent storm starting to thunder inside of me.
You turned away.
I couldn’t find the words to ask you to stay.
You were gone.
-M.
Waiting
Life seems tough, when all you feel like you are doing is pushing and waiting.
You don’t know where you are going, or how you will get there.
You are patient, though it isn’t always easy.
You are waiting, yet working so hard, trying to get to a place, somewhere you don’t even know if it exists in real life or just in your head.
It feels like all you can to is to keep on pushing and waiting, hoping, one day, something good will come from it all.
The day comes to an end and you are so tired.
You have put in the time.
You have put in so many hours.
There is a light at the end of this tunnel, and it is going to show you that all the waiting was worth it.
You will see.
There is so much beauty coming for you.
Keep on going.
Keep on pushing.
Continue to have patience.
Your time is coming.
Just like waiting for the sun to set, having patience and persistence always pays off.
There is beauty after all the waiting.
You will see.
There is more for you, here.
There is so much more for you to see.
-M.
Simple Shell
I see you there, all alone.
You may feel broken, but you are mostly whole.
You have traveled so far, just to land right here.
There is beauty in your simplicity.
A delicate elegance in how you are just simply here.
You seek nothing, yet you have a all you need.
A life of solitude.
A life of peace.
You have done well.
You are more than just a simple shell.
-M.
