Pain

He didn't know it.

I never showed it, 

the pain he caused me. 

And over time, my heart healed. 

But the scar left reminded me, 

That bones can mend and your eyes will dry.

But the heart, oh the tender heart still will cry. 

Her eyes

The prettiest things you'll ever see are her eyes. 

Yeah, sure. 

But wait until she shows you what she sees through them. 

Magnolia

You don't know her, you just think you do. 

She only shows only one side of herself, and the other is hidden. 

She carefully chooses what to reveal, hidden in layers of petals wrapped tightly. 

You won't get to see what passions lie within, what secrets she holds ...And what fantasies dance. 

Exquisite

 I know I wasn't made to just get up each day and go to work. 

I can't sit stagnant at my desk looking at a screen. 

Mmmm, nope. 

Because I dream too much.

I take pictures all the time. 

I write - a lot. 

I glance out my window and watch birds play. 

I see love-hearts in the clouds. 

I find flowers exquisite. 

So don't make me sit 9-5 at work. 

I'm sure I was meant for higher things. 

Don't forget who you are

 Never let them get you to a point, where you forget who you are. 

Never let them dictate who they think you are.

Don't allow them to label you with names and taunts that aren't true. 

Never let them break your spirit. 

The thing is you have a light within you and you need to remember this. 

You need to remember this every time they make you doubt yourself.

And remember too that when you feel like giving up on life, there's a bunch of people who would miss you if you went away. 

So for yourself, for the sanity and peace of those who love you...

Please don't forget who you are. 

Beauty

She's beautiful. 

You've just got to notice her. See the world through her eyes.

She'll show you beauty. 

Beauty around you and beauty within. 

Potential Happys

You spend New Year's Eve alone. You can hear the music thud from house parties near by, and then the countdown to the New Year. You can hear the fireworks at midnight go off, from your loungeroom. The frivolous sounds last approximately 8 minutes and then there's quiet. You close your eyes and wish yourself a New Year. You hope for less pain, and more strength. You wish for happiness and lesser tears. And sitting there, you close your eyes and press your lips together. You are alone, but sobbing quietly, and you don't know why you're still so quiet, because it's only you here, wishing yourself 366 potential happys for the New Year.
