Baby steps.
It's okay to fall once in a while.
As long as you keep your eyes on the prize.
As long as you are determined
To get to where ever you want to go.

Just keep trying
And even if you falter
Just never give up.

Baby steps go a long way.

Even if you’re afraid,
it’s okay to take your time,
but you have to move forward.

Music
is always echoing
inside my heart.
Heavyhearted but on cloud nine.
My safe haven .

I drown myself in music.
To forget everything I feel.
I remember and feel nothing
but what i am hearing at this very moment.

I need to forget it all.
Forget the shame,
the pain,
the agony of it all.

Every line I step across.
I only burden myself.

Every friendship I make turns to ruins.

Every cut
Every blood dropped on to the pavement
was all for you.

You broke me.
And all their touches deformed my heart.

But here I am
Still alive.

These feelings still tie me down.
I’m only abusing myself,
by remembering it all once again.

It shouldn’t disturb me this much.
It’s been years since it all happened.

I just need to let it all go.
Let it all turn to ashes in the fire.
Let them burn out,
until they can’t hurt me anymore.

I need to free myself,
I’m a better person for all that’s happened.
Even the bad things in life
can turn into epiphany.

Life is unpredictable,
life is scary,
but maybe,
Life only wants us to grow and learn.
That even in the darkest times,
we can thrive and find meaning,
why we exist, find a purpose.

We only see the truth
hiding between the lines
after the storm.

A blinding light enters a room.
Alighting her as a whole.

Feeling as if it's meant to be.

She tries to hold the light into the palm of her hands.
It seeps through silently,
like water.

She holds the lingering touch of it
close to her chest

She hears a little voice
Her inner child.
Giving her words of comfort

To heal the wounds from her past.
She too, now knows
Nothing can harm them.

Together they will overcome.
The voice whispers into her soul

She feels her heart aglow.
"Stay with me", she says

She didn't want to break this spell
Her soul speaking.

Feeling reassured
Knowing that time will come.

Her time will come.
It will never be too far.
