Writing about life

Honesty

Posted on July 21, 2022July 21, 2022 by Healing Creations PNW

I told you the truth, you didn’t believe me.

You wanted to believe something else.

You wanted to believe your opinions of me.

There is no end to this defeat, a defeat of the honesty that wants to be known.

For years and years you have taunted me.

Forever shadowing me, with your laughter and distaste in my level in life.

It is what it is, you are who you are and I am who I am.

We live in a world where we must learn to understand those around us so we can learn to love and accept them, yet why are we continuing to let them harm us, for they don’t want to accept us for who we are.

Maybe my hair is colored.

Maybe my skin is tattooed.

Maybe I cuss a little here and there or maybe I like to wear mismatched shoes.

Be who you are.

Live how you want to live.

Stop judging and criticizing others for not being the way you think they should be.

I can be loud.

I can be quiet.

Sometimes I don’t want to exist.

Sometimes I want to spread all the love and joy that I feel, once in a while.

This life is not easy, at times.

This life can make you feel crazy for not playing the role of a robot.

Express your damn self.

Be whoever the fuck you want to fucking be.

Goodness.

My gosh.

Can’t we just all choose to be free?

Hold me down, chain me up, let me get wrapped up by your criticisms and cover my mouth with all of your judgements.

Fuck that Bullshit.

Hold me down and keep me still, don’t let me dance or run free.

You don’t want to hear me.

You don’t want to see me.

You don’t want to know me.

I understand.

You choose to be locked away, like a tortured soldier that can’t be free.

You are me.

I am you.

Feel this power deep inside.

You have locked it up, like a candle with no flame.

Light that fire.

Free that bird from its locked up cage.

You are not without a voice.

You are not without a choice.

Get the fuck up and go be FREE.

Goodness gracious, why have you been so small, when you know you are so much bigger than you let yourself be.

Your life deserves more of you.

Your life deserves your truth.

What do you stand for?

What matters to you?

Honestly, you have been hiding away and it is time to show yourself to this world that needs the true YOU.

Get up and go live with HONESTY of your TRUTH and your INTENSITY.

You are loved.

You are worthwhile.

You are FREE.

You Whispered to Me

Posted on July 20, 2022 by Healing Creations PNW

You whispered to me,

through the silence of the wind,

through the quiet of the stars,

in the silence of the trees…

You whispered to me, in my ears, to my soul, from your heart, to my whole being.

You made me whole, with your presence.

You danced with me, on the sands of the beach, as the waves tried to catch my feet,

while my eyes slept, at night, and the moonlight healed my soul…

You danced with me among the trees, in the forest, while I searched for you…

So much time has passed since you left this world.

So many feelings I have had, so many fears I have learned to hold onto.

Now I’m learning to let go.

Yet, even with you gone, I can hear your voice, and it makes me want to hold onto you.

I can feel your touch, when a flower grazes over my skin.

Your songs are now sung by the birds, with the sunrise, each morning.

Not a day goes by that you are not here, with me.

For so long, I have dreamed of your whispering voice, telling me it is all going to be okay.

You remind me that you are here, I am safe, it is okay.

A windy day lets me know you are near.

A rainy day is the skies releasing all of your tears.

Time had felt so slow, but now I know it goes by at the pace of your heart beat.

You are the nature that surrounds me.

You are the breath that moves the winds.

I feel you more now than ever before, as you surround me.

You will always live within me, and now all around me.

You are within every living thing.

There is no death, there is only life that continues on, to an existence continued beyond.

You are each new blossom, full of fresh nectar.

You are each sky reaching tree, that moves, dancing in your winds.

You are each sunrise and sunset, with magical light that heals the soul.

You whisper to me through nature, in all the ways you possibly can, reminding me that everything will be okay.

Let’s dance, while I dream, in the moonlight, until the morning comes, when the birds sing your songs, and as the light of the sunrise welcomes another beautiful day full of so much beautiful life, life here and beyond.

Touch me as I walk through fields of grass and wildflowers that remind my skin how to feel.

Hold me on the mountain tops as I take it all in, and let go of all the fears.

Wash me with your tears, as they fall from the cloudy skies.

Remind me how to live, as I discover new life, each and every day that I am here.

For however long, I will exist here, with you surrounding me.

Whisper to me…

-M.
